The UFC Women’s fighter ‘Lucky’ Lauren Murphy fought Joanne Calderwood in a Flyweight contest at UFC 263. The battle took place in the preliminary section of the event, but still was an important fight for the Flyweight division. The fight went the distance where Lauren Murphy emerged victorious by split decision. This marked her fifth victory in a row and has helped to build a strong case for her title crack.

‘Lucky’ sits on the number three spot under two former title challengers Jessica Andrade and Katlyn Chookagian. Now after her latest victory Lauren Murphy joined MMAFighting in an interview demanding her title shot. Murphy said, “One hundred percent I’ve earned the title shot. Who can deny that? Nobody in the division has anything close to the same resume that I have.”

Murphy continues “Nobody in the division has five straight wins over all ranked opponents. None of my opponents have been a gimme. it’s either been people in the top ten or one short notice fight that was you know totally out of my control.”

“I have never been finished I’ve never been close to getting finished. Every loss that I have is to either a former champion or a UFC title contender.”

Lauren Murphy a genuine title contender

The current Women’s Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has defeated both Jessica Andrade and Katlyn Chookagian. ‘The Bullet’ was able to stop both the ladies earning a TKO/KO win over the number one and number two in the rankings. Therefore, a rematch is highly unlikely and doest seems to excite the fans.

As per the rankings, Murphy seems the most genuine option for a title contender. She is a fresh opponent and has never fought for the title in her UFC career. ‘Lucky’ could offer a unique challenger for the Flyweight queen, as both the ladies have never fought against each other.
