All right, so let us say hello to Lauren Murphy, who competed this past Saturday night in the

Colmei event of UFC 266. It did not go her way in her first bid to become a UFC world champion

against Valentina Shepchenko, but she is kind enough to join us a few days later to talk all about

it, which I greatly appreciate. And the dogs are here too, which is no surprise to me or anybody else.

Lauren, thank you for doing this. How are you?

I'm pretty good, man. All things considered I'm doing all right.

There you go. Well, well, first off, let's just say the odds of being a mixed martial artist

in getting to the UFC, not very high, earning a world title opportunity in the UFC. Super

rare thing in this sport, but you earned your shot. You did it the hard way. You got in there

with the fighter that many believe is the pound for pound best on planet Earth right now.

How would you describe how it all feels four days later in the fight, the fourth round,

the overall feeling of your first title fight in the UFC? It's okay. It's like a lot of mixed emotions,

you know, especially after a hard loss like that. Valentina is definitely a different level,

you know, like I've never competed with anybody like that before, like her pressure on top,

like the way I couldn't move on the ground, like that's never really happened to me before.

And yeah, just like the level of her striking and even just the way she competes, like just

she's very present and aware the whole time. We got the whole plan now. But anyway, she's

she's incredible. It was pretty it was pretty crazy to be in there with somebody who got that

level, you know, because I've truly never really competed with anybody that level before.

And I don't remember the fourth round really. So I guess that's pretty good.

And yeah, I mean, it's a bummer to lose. It's always a bummer to lose. And as the first time I've

ever been finished, I think it was a good stoppage. I was pretty out of it by the time the rest
