Lerone Murphy calls out Brian Ortega after his win over Josh Emmett
Undefeated featherweight Lerone Murphy called out former title challenger Brian Ortega after his win over Josh Emmett. Ortega has been a featherweight elite for years and is always a threat due to his vicious submission skills. He was last seen in action against Diego Lopes at UFC 306, a fight he lost via decision.
Speaking in his post-fight press conference, Murphy asserted that he can finish Ortega. He said:
"Just a fight I’ve been looking at for a while, and obviously, you see Diego Lopes go on to get a title shot after beating him, so I want to take a similar route. I fought Dan Ige, same as Lopes too, so yeah man, give me one of them guys. I finish him. That simple, I finish him. I get better with every fight, I get more expereience and I get more confident.”
