“I believe they’re going to book me for London, that’s what it looks like anyways,” Murphy told Demetrious Johnson. “I think they’re going to book me for London. To me, that’s the same fight — Aljamain Sterling or Movsar — same fight. Same problem, similar styles. I’m preparing myself for that fight in March.”
“Now I don’t get the chance to fight Volkanovski,” Murphy added. “I know he’s going to retire after this fight. Being able to test my skills against a legend, having his name on my resume is massive. It’s something that I’m never going to be able to get. Not because I didn’t earn it, because of obviously favoritism and whatever.”
