Dana White suggested Lerone Murphy will get a title shot after his show-stealing UFC 319 win. The 17-0-1 featherweight contender has flown under the radar for most of his time in MMA’s premier promotion.

In the UFC, timing is everything. When opportunity knocks, you’ve got to not only answer but slam the door shut with authority. That’s exactly what Lerone Murphy did at UFC 319. Originally slotted in as a replacement opponent for Aaron Pico after Movsar Evloev pulled out, Murphy wasn’t expected to steal the spotlight.

By virtually any measure, Lerone Murphy has enjoyed a successful Ultimate Fighting Championship career to this point.
