Why are people sleeping on Leroy Murphy?

[prime_lobov]

Dude is undefeated on a huge streak in the UFC. Pico is a jacked white boy coming off of crushing cans, and sometimes being crushed by cans, in Bellator. Seems odd that Pico is such a huge favorite.

DDP is a dog, again.

People buy into the hype.

I see another Patchy performance incoming

 

[don't ask]

LEEEEROYYYYYYYYY MURRRPHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[burningspear]

puns are strong today

murphy beats up pico

 

[Luthien]

@BroRogan @HI SCOTT NEWMAN wake up! You are sleeping!

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Murphy more proven for sure. Fight IQ and competition wise. If Aaron proves he has good defense and fight iq he could take it, but Lerone does seem like a hard fight

Bruce Lee Roy ?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Elroy going to show Bellator Boy what the UFC is all about

 

[El Fernas]

78% have picked him on Tapology...thats not sleeping on him, or if you wonder why there isnt much hype, well, he is co-main, but he is a decision machine.

Hate watching Murphy but would be shocked if he loses.

Probably because his brother Lerone isn't very exciting.
But Leroy truly is a BEAST

 

[Egészségére!]

Yeah this fight should be about even odds imo

Murphy +3.5 for -165 seems a good wager

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Bruce Lee Roy ?

I watch this epic at least once a year. A fine piece of cinema.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

People do not sleep on him.. he puts viewers to sleep.

I hope Pico knocks him the fuck out.

 

[RockyLockridge]

it's a very good match up. pico has power and ko's people. lerone has good fight IQ footowork and distance management. Should be a good match up. Winner may get a title shot if evloev is out for a while.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

I think Lerone is the slight favorite even though I'm pulling for Pico. Lerone is by far the best guy Pico will have fought.

LEEEEROYYYYYYYYY MURRRPHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[NicholasJBasile]

People seem to believe Pico will be able to simply win because of his wrestling, but Pico has never been much of a top positinoal grappler. I certainly believe he can get points with his takedowns, but I feel Murphy will be able to get back up after each of them. Time will tell, but I believe the fight will play predominately on the feet, and Murphy has valuable 5 round experience in the UFC and probably more durability.

I don't remember a single match that he has been in, and I watch the UFC
on a pretty regular basis.
