Exciting featherweight prospect Lerone Murphy is eagerly anticipating the outcome of the upcoming UFC 314 main event clash between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes.
Following his impressive victory over Josh Emmett at UFC on ESPN 65, Murphy (16-0-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) is determined to secure a shot at the title and sees this fight as a crucial step towards achieving that goal.
The vacant title will be up for grabs at UFC 314, with former champion Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) facing off against the surging Lopes (26-6 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in what promises to be a thrilling battle. Murphy is intrigued by the matchup and envisions Volkanovski potentially emerging victorious due to his experience and cardio.
Volkanovski, coming off two consecutive losses, will be looking to bounce back against the streaking Lopes, who has been on an impressive win streak. Murphy acknowledges Lopes’ youth and hunger for success, making him a formidable opponent.
While Murphy refrains from making a prediction on the fight’s outcome, he acknowledges the significance of the bout as the winner could potentially be his next challenger in the featherweight division.
