UK starting to pick up real steam in the UFC, right now. The likes of Aspinall, Edwards, Allen, Mokaev, and Murphy are all smashing it, right now.

[@Caspers187]

Aspinall, Mokaev & Murphy all fight from Greater Manchester. That northern water must be different!

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

@Caspers187 Northerners are built slightly different than southerners, from what I can gather mate. I'm from the Midlands but have been up and down the country for work, and northerners seem to have a tougher mindset and resolve, as a whole, obviously that isn't everyone, but I'd say the tougher between the north and south would be the northerners.

[@SpyroTek]

@@KingDomsKingdom85 That's just perception. In reality being northern or southern makes no difference.

He should go against either of kattar or mitchell

[@TheHunter1450]

Murphy has so many options. He can fight Kattar, Sterling, Lopes, Evloev, Mitchell, Emmett, and maybe Giga. Kattar makes the most sense for him next.

[@johnstover4584]

Barboza couldn't throw anything because he fell for all the feints. I wish Barboza would of just kicked through the feints and not freeze up so much.

[@AquinasBased]

He's 38 and it's hard to change his habits. Murphy is young and can study and adapt to the people who he fights.

[@AquinasBased]

He's 38 it's hard to improve and change ur habits. A lot of this stuff is already ingrained and Murphy just needs to watch tape and study it.

U ain’t a ufc fighter so ur opinion 🗑️

Thats not how life works dummy. Going by your logic if a surgeon messes up and makes a mistake on a member of your family and they die you cant have an opinion on it because you aint a surgeon, see how dumb you are by that example. 🤡

[@pokemonovice9758]

Couldn't throw anything? How does he disfigured Murphy's face, then? He turned him into Lauren, instead of Lerone

Murphy vs Diego lopes who wins?

[@aboodthebest7726]

It depends on who would force his style on the other. If Murphy turns it into a technical fight, then he wins. If lopes turned it into a dog fight, then he wins

[@olliewilson2275]

How has that lady even got the job. Clearly isn’t the only manc on the UFC roster. She forgetting about Aspinal

[@jeffersonsalvador2293]

Leron vs lia tepora good fight 😮

[@ApexPunisherX]

No, it isn't! He's nowhere near ready for him. Alot of people have beaten Barboza. He couldn't even finish him. Even Giga did that and he couldn't even hang with Katar who's irrelevant. Levels, kid. Don't talk about them 2 fighting again.
