Lerone Murphy is eyeing a big opportunity to compete in his hometown of Manchester, England, at UFC 304. After a dominant performance in the main event of UFC Vegas 92, where he defeated Edson Barboza, Murphy is eager to face some of the top names in the featherweight division.
In a recent interview on The MMA Hour, Murphy expressed his interest in potential matchups against Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett. The undefeated fighter is confident in his abilities and is ready to take on anyone in the top 10 rankings.
Despite suffering some facial swelling and bruising from his last fight, Murphy is determined to compete at UFC 304 as long as he is cleared by a doctor. He is optimistic about his recovery and believes he will be ready to fight in two months’ time.
“If the nose isn’t broken, I’m fighting at UFC 304,” Murphy stated. “I feel good and I know I can get back into camp quickly. I’m not rushing anything, but if my body is ready, I’m ready to go.”
Fans are eagerly anticipating Murphy’s next fight, and the prospect of seeing him compete in his hometown adds an extra level of excitement to the upcoming event. Stay tuned for updates on Lerone Murphy’s potential matchup at UFC 304.
