Surviving a late opening round knockdown against perennial featherweight contender, Dan Ige, Manchester native, Lerone Murphy maintains his unbeaten run in the Octagon — courtesy of a unanimous decision win on the main card of UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Murphy, the current number twelve ranked featherweight contender, entered tonight’s high-stakes pairing with Ige off the back of an impressive run of eight fights without a defeat since his move to the Octagon.
Most recently featuring in his premiere main event fight under the banner of the Dana White-led promotion, Murphy would turn in a unanimous decision win over Brazilian veteran, Edson Barboza — earning the pair Fight of the Night honors.
