Lerone Murphy didn\u2019t just lose a close one this past weekend \u2013 he also lost some time.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Murphy fell short in the main event of UFC London, dropping a majority decision to Movsar Evloev in a closely contested fight. Immediately after the fight, Murphy said his \u201chip popped\u201d in the middle of the fight<\/a>, and now, we know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Murphy posted a story to his Instagram revealing that he tore his hip flexor muscle in the fourth round of the fight with Evloev.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how severe the injury is or an exact timeline for Murphy\u2019s recovery, but per the American Hip Institute<\/a>, most hip flexor injuries recover in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n

So, for the time being, Murphy will have to take it easy, and \u201cThe Miracle\u201d used some of his newfound downtime to rewatch his battle with Evloev. And while he still gives Evloev props, upon watching the fight, Murphy believes he either should have won, or it should have been a draw. Either way, once he\u2019s recovered, Murphy promises a big return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved every second of the fight. I thought I done enough to take the first 3 rounds although it was close. A draw at the very least with the point deduction but on to the next. Movsar fought a smart fight and didn\u2019t give me many openings. I could have created a bit more chaos. I hope we can run this back at some point. I\u2019LL BE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lerone Murphy didn\u2019t just lose a close one this past weekend \u2013 he also lost some time.
