\nMurphy<\/a> and Diego Lopes<\/a>
\ncould be on a collision course. <\/p>\n

Murphy suffered a majority decision loss against Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> at UFC London last weekend. Lopes, who has also lost to
\nEvloev, slammed the fight as a boring affair. Lopes also separated
\nhimself from Murphy despite their losses against the same

\u201cNo, Lerone, we are not the same,\u201d Lopes wrote on X. \u201cNever do that
\nagain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy responded by slamming Lopes\u2019 performance against Evloev. The
\nEnglishman also called out Lopes for his next fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t lay on my back in guard for 3 rounds bro,\u201d Murphy wrote.
\n\u201cLet\u2019s fight next?\u201d<\/p>\n

Same Opponent, Same Result<\/h2>\n

Murphy (17-1) suffered his first career loss against Evloev.
\nMeanwhile, Lopes came up short against Evloev in his short-notice
\nUFC debut in 2023. Lopes then scored five consecutive wins to earn
\na title shot at the vacant title, where he lost to Alexander
\nVolkanovski<\/a>. Lopes (27-8) rebounded by finishing Jean Silva<\/a>
\nto earn a rematch against Volkanovski, who beat him again this past
\nJanuary. Lopes is now scheduled to fight Steve
\nGarcia<\/a> (19-5) at Freedom Fights 250 on June 14 at the White
\nHouse.
