News Aaron Pico vs Lerone Murphy set for UFC 319 (Co-Main Event)

[Rorschachxx]

Just been confirmed on the broadcast.

Evloevs injuries apparently too severe to turn around quick enough, so Lerone will step in and they'll fill that Co-Man spot in Chicago.

Good alternative match-up imo.

 

[Jstr]

Interesting matchup.

Pico can jump right to top 5.

Maybe title shot for Evloev now? Or no?

 

[CobraCobretti]

I hope so much that Aaron Pico is for real

 

[Ares Black]

Big fight

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Awesome fight! Had a quick chat with Murphy at PFL Brussels three weeks ago. Cool guy.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Hope this means Movsar fights for the title next.

 

[Black9]

Movsar vs Volk confirmed?

 

[Rorschachxx]

Hope this means Movsar fights for the title next.

Movsar vs Volk confirmed?

I'd love for that to be true but I highly doubt it.

UFC will force Evloev to take another fight once he's healed.

 

[Koala]

Movsar vs Volk confirmed?

No. Volk is injured

 

[ArtardFiesta]

Hope this means Movsar fights for the title next.

mosvar with his injury will need two more fights for a title shot

poor co main for a ppv. this is more like an 2nd or third fight on the card.

 

[Fact Checker]

319 shaping up to be quite a proper card.


Good on the UFC to start beefing some of these PPV’s up.

I don’t get the hype with Pico, but this is a solid well matched fight.

 

[Black9]

Great fight now, but Prospect vs Prospect fights always hurt in the long run

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

Now, this fight is much better.


I'm also rooting for Evloev to fight for the title.

 

[octagonation]

Murphy is gonna take this one

 

[Khaosan]

Fuck yeah, rooting for Pico.

 

[Blastbeat]

Hoping Pico can get it done. Murphy's style is pretty dull.

 

[MRT]

Solid fight...not sure it should be a PPV co-main, but whatever.

 

[CC27]

good fight and probably more reasonable fight for PIco's debut. Yeah he could have instantly taken out the top guy but if he loses his hype for signing is gone and everyone would say that really wasnt the right debut for him.

This is still a tough fight but more winnable and gets you into top of the div if you win. And given the div with Movsar hurt and UFC wanting him to fight agian, Yair is there but outside of Mexico he doesnt make sense for a title shot. You have Silva/Lopes so if Silva wins in Sept he could be a player and PIco if he wins this. Assume Volk fights in Dec so a win for Pico could really get him a title shot, that wouldnt be out of the question.

 

[CC27]

Solid fight...not sure it should be a PPV co-main, but whatever.

Yeah agreed. This is like a perfect 3rd fight on PPV or FN co main or even FN main event. AS a PPV co main its lacking, even Pico/Mosvar wasnt a great PPV co main but its better than nothing and card needs it.

 

[CieloLuce]

That's a great fight. I can see someone getting finished
