The Hit List: Undefeated Fighters in the UFC

If Lerone Murphy needed to separate himself from the pack, he certainly found a way to do so.

As one of 22 undefeated competitors on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster with at least one victory inside the organization, the Manchester Top Team star likely cemented himself as the No. 1 contender for the undisputed featherweight crown with a highlight-reel knockout of Aaron Pico in the UFC 319 co-main event on Aug. 16 at the United Center in Chicago. Murphy flattened the Bellator MMA refugee with a spectacular spinning back elbow 3:21 into the first round of their Windy City encounter. The 34-year-old Englishman has rattled off nine straight victories since he settled for a split draw with Zubaira Tukhugov six years ago and now has his sights set on reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
