After his victory, Murphy walked out of the octagon when a fan heckled him, saying he was not the rightful victor of the fight. Murphy took a step in the fan's direction to possibly confront him but the security officials stepped in and guided him to go through the designated route.

With the victory, the 33-year-old extended his UFC record to 16-0-1. After the fight, Murphy spoke to Michael Bisping for his post-fight octagon interview where he shared that he planned to fight two more times in 2025:

"Obviously, I want the title, innit? But give me anybody in the top five, top three even. Give me one of them guys, I'll fight again in July. Let's go, man. I wanna keep this train going or get to the championship or stay active. Another two fights this year."
