Massive knockout and you couldn’t script it any better. For me, I’m waiting to see who it is. Who do I think deserves it? I think Lerone Murphy.
On August 17 at UFC 319 Lerone Murphy knocked out Aaron Pico in the first round. Murphy’s record is 17 wins, no losses and one draw.
Volkanovski’s last fight was in April 2025 at UFC 314, where he defeated Diego Lopes by unanimous decision. His professional record is 27 wins and four losses.
