Lerone Murphy's spinning-elbow knockout of Aaron Pico at UFC 319 may have just earned him a shot at featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski.
Joe Rogan believes this has led to his opponent, Lerone Murphy, being overlooked ahead of UFC 319. The 16-0-1 featherweight has put himself in title contention without making a ton of noise. As a result, Rogan thinks that many fans don’t even know Murphy is ahead of his short-notice fight with Pico.
Both men made weight, with the undefeated Murphy registering at 146 pounds, while Murphy was on championship weight at 145 on the nose. Check out the video below to see their UFC 319 official weigh-ins.
