Lauren Murphy completed her UFC contract last summer with a decision loss to Katlyn Chookagian, and since then, it’s been a waiting game. Signing a new deal has been a priority for her, but not for the organization, she said.
“I don’t really take it too personally,” Murphy told BloodyElbow.com’s The MMA Circus. “They’re a business. The first two fights that I had in the promotion, I lost both of those, and they were both really boring fights. And that really sucks for me, because, obviously, I don’t think I lost those fights.”
Murphy, 33, was told she would be first in line if a fight came up on short notice, but other than that, it’s been quiet.
