Reigning UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski defended his 145-pound title against Diego Lopes atop the UFC 325 event on Paramount+ last weekend at Qudos Bank Arena in New South Wales, Australia, finishing their five-round showdown with his ass in the challenger’s face. That was a fitting end to one of the most pointless rematches in UFC history.
“Great fight by Alex Volkanovski,” Evloev wrote on social media. “He showed that you can get better at that age. I can’t wait to share a cage to show why I am different than these guys!”
As for Murphy, he’s yet to comment on the UFC 325 headliner or issue any kind of reaction at a time when the bulk of UFC fans are on social media (post-fight). That suggests Murphy doesn’t understand how the fight game works — or maybe he was sleepy (it happens) and already went to bed since he’s based in the UK (Manchester) where it’s five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.
