UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy is taking a patient approach to his career as he readies himself to compete once again on Fight Island.
The unbeaten 29-year-old squares off against Douglas Andrade this Wednesday on the main card of UFC Fight Island 8. The event takes place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi and will be headlined by a welterweight bout between Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny.
Murphy hopes to build upon his sensational first-round finish of Ricardo Ramos at UFC on ESPN 13 in July for his first promotional win, following an impressive showing in his octagon debut when he fought Zubaira Tukhugov to a split draw at UFC 242.
