Lerone Murphy shoots down rumors of Aljamain Sterling fight at UFC 323 — ‘I’m not fighting this year’

Lerone Murphy is not coming back until 2026.

“LOL,“ Murphy wrote on X. ”I’m not fighting this year.“

Volkanovski (27-4) recently told the combat sports media that UFC was looking to book “The Great” for next February in Sydney, though nothing is official at this time. Like Murphy, all fans can do is wait for the promotion to (finally) make up its mind and pull the proverbial trigger.
