There appears to be some lingering animosity between Lerone
Murphy and Nathaniel
Wood.
The featherweight competitors recently crossed paths at the UFC
London fighter hotel, where Murphy took issue with some comments
Wood made about putting on a “masterclass” ahead of their proposed
matchup at UFC 286. Wood was forced to withdraw from the contest
due to a “freak accident” in training.
“You pulled out bro,” Murphy says to Wood during the encounter,
which never got physical.
Both athletes now have other, more pressing matters at hand. Murphy
is booked against Joshua
Culibao at
UFC Fight Night 224 on Saturday at the O2 in London, while Wood
will lock horns with Andre Fili on
the same card.
