Lerone Murphy expects his next fight to be on home soil.
Murphy appeared to cement his case as the next title challenger after scoring a devastating first-round spinning backfist knockout of Aaron Pico at UFC 319 this past August.
However, the promotion opted for a different direction, bypassing “The Miracle” and instead booking reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski to defend his title against former rival Diego Lopes in the main event of UFC 325, scheduled for January 31 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Nonetheless, Murphy now appears unfazed by missing out on the title opportunity and equally unconcerned about who he’s matched up with next.
