Lerone Murphy admits getting bypassed for UFC title shot was 'kind of heartbreaking'

Instead, it went to Diego Lopes , who only needed to earn one victory to earn a rematch with Volkanovski at UFC 325 “To be completely honest, it was rough,” Murphy told the UFC. I go out there, co-main event, step in on short notice and get a KO like that on short notice over a highly-touted prospect — I thought I’d done enough.“I was training. Though to hear Murphy tell it, he never lost confidence in his abilities as a fight ender.“It reaffirmed I could finish, I could knock people out,” Murphy said.
