With Murphy as the highest-ranked fighter who hasn&#8217;t fought the champion yet, it makes sense that she would be next in line to fight for the belt. At the same time, however, the win over Calderwood was far from an impressive performance, and many fans and media actually felt she should have lost the decision. While the official result is a win, it seems as though the UFC still has some questions about whether or not Murphy is a viable challenger for the champion.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Dana White should give Lauren Murphy the next title shot against Valentina Shevchenko?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC president Dana White says he is not committed to giving Lauren Murphy a title shot against flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko next.
