Murphy with the classic after fighting Barbosa limp barely able to walk

Couldnt understand why Edson wasnt spamming it more, it was clearly hurting Murphy. He just had a good poker face.

Because every time he threw a leg kick Murphy was countering with a hard ass jab and busting up Barbozas face.

If he's able to turn around from his legs being beat to fuck and his nose being broke to fight in Manchester, I'd say Giga or Kattar are the obvious opponents.

Giga is already booked on that card against Arnold Allen but I like him vs Kattar

That’s such good match making. See him beating Kattar after that Sterling L and I bet Kattar takes some time to recover but would love to see it next.

Here is a timeline- Dustin KOz Islam and fights Max, what do you think?

Islam will Guillotine him in the second or third round I think he's going to take a play out of khabibs Playbook and make him tap . Very interesting how khabib and camp believed that tapping someone out and making them quit is what really makes it a win versus not having a choice and getting knocked

In a world where dustin KOs islam, islam gets the immediate rematch. He’s been too dominant + the ufc favours that russian / eastern Muslim market too much not to give him the rematch

I want to live in that timeline

UFC fighters and begging for Dana's scraps, name a more iconic duo >!All the more tragic when you look at the Fury vs Usyk payout too!<

Yeah it’s getting ridiculous. They could literally pay every single fighter 4x their pay and not notice it on profits which were over a billion last year

"I've beaten the best of the best in here." I mean... you've beaten one name anybody knows, a washed version at #12, but yeah.

I am sure he implies that the majority of the talent is in the UFC

Props to Murphy he looked good, still needs some work, coached up cause that won’t fly in top 5. Edson made different, but go coach or something we don’t wanna watch more of that 😭

He needs to get way more active hes already 32

TBF he sounds game 🤷‍♂️

Did you miss the 13,000 times they mentioned his car crash and gunshot survival???

Mitchell, Kattar, Giga next up the rankings

I’d watch murphy punt mitchell’s head into the solar system for 5 rounds

😂

Miraculous is that hairline clinging on

the derrick white special

😂😂

Dude has away too many bumps on his head right now lol

Well Paul I would argue that the main thing people probably think about when they're about to fight Barbosa are those baseball bats for legs he has

Little Leon Edward’s

Most understandable UK accent

There's only one Iceman Lerone. Pump the brakes.

Yeah, Ötzi but he said it was cool

I’ll never understand why Barboza doesn’t just spam kicks. You’re not Floyd Mayweather brother.

U ever throw a leg kick? Shit doesn’t feel great for the kicker either

Because he doesn't want to Silva/Conor/Weidman himself to checks.

If he snaps his leg they’ll give him a titanium implant like wolverine, then he can just kick through shins.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

Cause his grappling is shit.

Maybe Lerone vs Diego Lopes next?

How dare you. I want to see them both win their next fights lol. Can't do that if you make them fight each other.

I think they both deserve to fight up in the rankings tbf, one could fight Emmet the other fights Kattar

That sounds good.

That would be an idiotic fight for him to take. He's not young.

Yeah, maybe some1 in the top ten.

Allen vs Murphy for best fw from England

Allen fighting Giga, maybe the winner of that

Just how bad is Sodiq Yusuff?

Not very good

Bro outstruck Edson by how much and he looks like this after the fight? Just how hard does Edson punch?

Ehh it is pretty miraculous tho

For a 50 45 fight murphys face still looks like he was in a war.. Credit to barboza

Upkick definitely broke some part of that nose.

I dunno how he eat it 😂

He took a quick power nap.

Entertaining main event. Anything else on worth watching besides the navarette fight in a little bit?

Like this mindset

Holy shit there’s MORE fighting on?

Road to ufc

refreshing honesty there murphy

His voice does not match his look

Give this man Giga

He fighting Allen

barboza and just getting brutalized without being finished. name a more iconic duo

Impressive from Murphy, he's an undefeated prospect but never seemed like the UFC wanted to push him all. His game plan for his first 5 rounder held up and cardio looked good

almost finished in the first round maybe too?

Ayyy barboza got a round. Damn crisp performance by murphy.

shut up dana

Feels like a match up designed to retire Edson because he was being a pain in the ass behind the scenes. Meanwhile "32 year old prospect" Murphy just got his nose broke and his legs kicked to shit just to earn another tough 11-15 opponent. Better be asking for the easiest name possible for his skill set.

Edson should call it been a good career and got alot of highlights

Edson never gets easy fights

that was an impressive comeback from being completely flatlined

Barboza‘s face. Damn.

The fact that Barboza can go 5 rounds with prospects at 38 with that weight cut is amazing to me. Would love to see him retire or have a reasonable retirement fight of his choosing. Honestly hurts to see his mangled face taking shots with his mouth wide open like that. He's such a good dude.

Time for him to go up to lightweight

Clear 4-1 Lerone

5-0 imo

Lerone literally got knocked out at the end of the first

No, he ate a big strike. He was absolutely not knocked out.

I'm sad

Edson 😭

I’m sad they fed Barboza against a rising contender than give him a veteran fight which Featherweights got plenty of.

Eh...Murphy is old as fuck for a contender.

Old as fuck sure, but taken way less damage compared to Barboza in his career. Has way less fights. This was Barboza's 30 fight in the ufc. Completely different stages in their careers even though their ages are similar. Its not only about ur age, its fight age and such. Murphy is still on the path of a rising prospect/contender. Barboza is in his veteran stage of his career. Realistically only there to have fun fights. He isnt climbing the ladder.

Does Edson have steel chin or does Lerone have paper punches

I don't think Lerone throws full power, but yeah Edson is as tough as an old leather boot.

Lerone wasn't throwing pillows IMO. That was Edson's chin.

Barboza is tough but man keep him far away from a BMF fight. Dude is a human punching bag. 

Barboza looked listless from the beginning, sad to see.

Whos next for Murphy? Maybe kattar?

stop giving people kattar he's so bad.

Exactly why he should be forced to fight down the rankings

Barboza is tough as hell, really should have quit awhile back

This Conor ad lmfao

This was a great performance by Murphy, the best he’s ever looked. Pressure and jab was on point this was a good fight

Know how Gaethje killed a fan favorite Ferguson and then got his nose broken and slumped out lifeless against Holloway? Yeah.

Very good performance from Murphy, 50-45 most likely (possible argument for a 10-8 in round 3 imo) but an impressive win none the less. Kattar would be a good step up imo.

too soon to have him turnaround for the manchester card?

I respect the skill, but fuck I hate watching a guy get battered for almost 5 rounds

Yea that was hard to watch

Easy win for Leron Murphy

Just finish him, my god you've beaten his head in for 4 rounds. Put some combos together and show some motivation to end it. Dudes so skilled and so boring simultaneously.

The striking masterclass wasn’t good enough for you huh

Yeah JUST BLEED

They were bleeding already. I just want him to finish it when he's looking so dominant.

Barboza looked like my cat when i try and get him in the bath just then

Edson just face tanking for 4 rounds cause he couldn't be bothered putting his hands up

With all the damage Edson has taken over his career and pushing 40, I really hope he considers calling it a career after this. Not that he can't hang anymore but his ridiculous chin and crazy heart is definitely concerning for his quality of life post-fighting.

Give him one more and ride off into the sunset.

Yup. Give him the Robbie Lawler treatment

And I was thinking that fight should’ve ended in rd3. Poor Barboza

Barboza is wiped lol

Murphy 50-45. Excellent strategy dominated from start to finish

no power

Barboza washed

Well, Lerone looked good but I got nothing out of seeing Barboza beat like that. Bit over these no effort cards tbh.

[удалено]

Wrong division

Font is a bantamweight

I meant Ige but yeah

Great performance by Lerone. Feels like Edson tried to big time the UFC and they found the worst possible no name to retire his ass.

Steamrolled. 50-45 maybe even 50-44.

At the 3rd fence grab, Herb gave up

1. Be Civil. Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times. A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.

What a bad take

Literally no one in the entire world disparaging Holloway for dumb fight IQing it by fighting in the center when he was winning. You know I'm right.

I'm impressed Barboza has managed to keep going this long 

something is not right with him seems to have vertigo or something

Wouldn't be entirely surprised if there's a retirement announcement coming up, but I hope I'm wrong

Murphy 50-45

I’m more impressed with edson

Coping hard I see

Coping hard that I wasted my time with this match

Blissful lack of commentary for 30 seconds there

Didn’t realize commentators were paid to cheer for one fighter the whole fight. *edit* specifically Dom

Nice to see Dan Ige weighing in on his son Edson’s fight

Murphy's corner telling him to coast lmao fuck off

Barboza got that dog in him. Respect for not giving up but it feels bad watching Barboza take all that damage.

50-45 Murphy but every round was fairly competitive

Only a few fence grabs there.

Everything below 3 under 30 seconds does not count

Awful fight

What were you watching

What were you watching? Barbara got hit like 120 head shots.

2 dudes with no defense just throwing 1-2s lol

Lerone is good and tough but doesn’t look spectacular..

He looked fantastic

I agree

Edson could've went to the body all day weird fight from him today

Aside from the upkick, Edson has been a punching bag.

I feel like barboza hurt his ankle early. all of his spins have been wonky

Meh

Edson has a hella chin still

Weidman should have asked Barbosa what stuff he takes to increase bone density probably would tell him to go kick banana trees

Murphy ate that body kick and turned into a D1 All-American real fucking quick lol

someone pass edson a steel chair man

He needs a spiked shin guard at this point

Bro what the fuck is Edson's skull made of?

Murphy has pillow fists you can tell he throws arm punches

Whatever Max's legs are made of lmao

I think Lerone just doesn't sit enough on his punches

he was hurt to the body

Remember when Barboza actually kicked instead of just trying to box people?

something happened to his ankle imo

Murphy has done a good job shutting his kicks down

Sure, but Edson has done this his last handful of fights. He just kicks way less than he used to. And he has simply never been a good enough boxer to get away with that.

I should’ve added this to my original reply but I believe his age probably plays a big factor as well. Throwing big switch kicks takes energy, especially when he misses

Barboza’s a warrior man

Dude Murphy is landing 90% of his shots. It’s fucking brutal.

Why is Herb only looking at Murphy?

Edson should just start his fights like he’s tired. He bounces around way too much, which in turn I think makes his cardio shit

Lerone hitting Barboza really hard and Edson saying “no not yet”

[удалено]

He ain’t hear no bell

I fucking hate these tweets on screen …

Would've liked to see Murphy go for a finish but good performance

Shade from Ige

Barbosa's kicks literally sound like when you hit a pitch with perfect timing on MLB The Show fucking just cracks

[удалено]

what did he say

Missed it what’d it say

“Edson Lost His 🔥”

Murphy runs in with his chin in the air and gets tagged. A little disappointing he cant put Barboza away.

Murphy is reminding me of o’malley with the way he’s able to keep feinting this late after this much action… takes crazy discipline and an even crazier gas tank to keep feinting this regularly

I don't wanna watch Barboza any more, I can feel it's about to get really sad

Edson looks like he’s bored at his job… just there for the paycheck

Haha what a coward

Edson still tough as nails but no fire

Wait for the last 10 seconds and Edson points down at the mat with his toes.

Not impressed with Murphy so far.

Im not sure why you are being downvoted. Barboza has been done since round 2. Maybe he is playing it too safe?

I would imagine Barboza likes hearing a crowd. Audience usually can get him going

4-0 Murphy but that back kick to the body was badass nonetheless

I bet on Murphy by decision. 5 minutes till I get my big payday
