Lerone Murphy has reacted after UFC CEO Dana White announced that Diego Lopes is getting a second shot at the UFC featherweight championship.
Lopes and Alexander Volkanovski locked horns at UFC 314 for the vacant 145-pound strap after Ilia Topuria vacated it in pursuit of lightweight gold. Volkanovski secured the throne with a unanimous decision win over the Brazilian. ‘The Great’ is yet to defend his throne for the first time in his second reign. On the other hand, Lopes returned to winning ways in September against Jean Silva. Currently, he is the number 2-ranked featherweight contender.
