UFC 308 Results: Lerone Murphy defeats Dan Ige (Highlights)

We have you covered for all of today’s UFC 308 results, including the men’s featherweight bout between Lerone Murphy and Dan Ige.

Murphy (15-0-1 MMA) will be competing for the first time since his thrilling ‘FOTN’ unanimous decision victory over Edson Barboza this past May. ‘The Miracle’ has won four of his past five Octagon appearances by way of decision.

Meanwhile, Dan Ige (18-9 MMA) was last seen in action at UFC 303, in a fight that he took on just hours’ notice against surging contender Diego Lopes. Despite the extremely late notice, ‘Dynamite’ gave Lopes all he could handle, but wound up dropping the decision. Prior to that, the Hawaiian was coming off a first-round knockout victory over Andre Fili.
