The UFC is close to finalizing a flyweight fight between Katlyn Chookagian and Cynthia Calvillo, but Lauren Murphy isn’t happy with the news.
ESPN first reported the potential new bout. The fight is expected to take place at UFC 255 on November 21st, the same night that Valentina Shevchenko will hope to defend her flyweight title against Jennifer Maia.
The news doesn’t sit well with fellow top contender Murphy. The 37-year-old has won her last four fights at 125 pounds, recently submitting Liliya Shakirova at UFC 254 last month. Murphy says she was already in talks with the UFC to fight Calvillo in December.
