It didn't take long for Volkanovski to acknowledge the performance, stating on X that he would see Murphy in December.

Pico, who was in control of his UFC 319 bout with Lerone Murphy Saturday night, reflected on the final outcome hours later.

Murphy rolls into this bout with 8 consecutive victories since a draw in his company debut at UFC 242 in Sept. 2019 against Zubaira Tukhugov.

Lerone Murphy may have just punched his ticket to a featherweight title shot.

This brutal knockout not only highlighted Murphy’s precision striking but also underscored his readiness for a title shot.
