After a few tests, it was revealed that Murdock had moyamoya disease. It is a rare vascular disorder of the arteries of the brain. People with moyamoya disease have narrowing of these blood vessels, which can lead to blood clots.
Murdock got the surgery done in November 2019 and made a comeback in 2020. Since his comeback, he has lost his two fights, but in the eyes of the fans, he already is a winner.
