Lerone Murphy Eyes Lightweight Move: "I Think 155 is Active and Wide Open"

Murphy vented on X that the featherweight division is “super stagnant,” adding, “I thought I would fight in December, but there’s no news…I want to be active while I’m in my prime.” After Murphy knocked out Aaron Pico at UFC 319, champion Alexander Volkanovski wanted a Dec title defense vs. the unbeaten contender. Now, Feb, 2026 in Sydney has been floated as the new date.
