Lerone Murphy scored a significant victory at UFC 319 with a spinning elbow that knocked out Aaron Pico, enhancing his record to 17-0-1. This performance has led to potential title shot discussions, as UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski publicly called him out for a match in December. Murphy expressed appreciation for the moment and reiterated that he intends to remain authentic instead of resorting to trash talking. He noted the importance of preparing well for the upcoming fight and views it as an opportunity to further improve his skills.
Murphy (17-0-1) landed a vicious spinning elbow that put Pico's lights out and blew the roof off the United Center in Chicago.
Now Murphy has the featherweight champion calling him out for a fight in December. Alexander Volkanovski posted on X, "See you in December, @LeroneMurphy congrats #UFC319".
"December would be perfect for me. Gives me time to recharge, spend some time with the family, and then work on some bits. Get better and come back better."
"I'll always be me," Murphy told Cageside Press.
