“December can be good for me,” Murphy mentioned on the UFC 319 post-fight press convention. “It provides me time to recharge, spend a while with the household, and work on some bits and get higher and are available again higher. December can be nice to share the octagon with Volkanovski, one of many featherweight GOATs. I added one other scalp to my already high quality resume. I’m 9 fights undefeated now. I’ve 10 fights within the UFC now: One draw and 9 wins. It’s time for a title combat.”
“It’s a must to combat everyone in another way,” Murphy mentioned. “You possibly can’t stand and commerce with Josh Emmett. It’s simply not good. We’ve seen what he does to guys who do this. So to get a knockout now, I’m shutting these haters up. I do know I can do this. I do know what I’ve received within the bag. I do know the perfect model of me has not been present but, and I’ll present it in December.”
