2+ hour, 43+ min ago (329+ words) Lerone Murphy has admitted that learning about plans for the featherweight title at UFC 325 made him fall out of love with MMA altogether. The number-four ranked featherweight is undefeated, and after defeating Aaron Pico at UFC 319 with a stunning knockout seemed to have staked his claim for a title shot. At the very least, he would have seen himself as closer to a shot than Diego Lopes, who lost a vacant title fight as recently as April. However, both Murphy and top contender Movsar Evloev missed out on a title opportunity to Lopes, who has just one win since that title defeat. The pair could be set to fight one another next, but fans have expressed outrage at the seemingly ridiculous matchmaking. That Dana White's announcement of the UFC 325 main event didn't see either Lerone Murphy or Movsar Evloev challenging…...

3+ hour, 42+ min ago (566+ words) Dec 1, 2025 | 10:21 PM EST When Ronda Rousey's name comes up, the MMA world almost instantly turns toward Kayla Harrison. The parallels between them are unavoidable: two American judokas who rose from the dojo to global fame.

Harrison did not avoid the conversation when Ariel Helwani brought it up.
