Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade administered a vicious beatdown to Lauren Murphy that had many fighters and MMA observers calling for referee intervention.
Andrade brutalized Murphy with punches and kicks over three rounds, leaving the one-time flyweight title challenger a bloody mess before the final bell. Judges gave Andrade a pair of rare 30-25 scorecards with one judge scoring it 30-26 for the Brazilian ex-champ.
Here’s what fighters had to say about the lopsided contest on Saturday at UFC 283.
That was fucked. Andrade is a monster and Lauren Murphy is one of the toughest humans alive which made that even more rough #UFC283
