A loser of two straight in the Octagon, Lauren Murphy is hoping to get her career back on track and is targeting a bout with fellow bantamweight Larissa Pacheco - and if Pacheco is unavailable, Milana Dudieva.

A former Invicta FC champion, Murphy is still hunting for her first victory in the Octagon, dropping consecutive decisions to Sara McMann and Liz Carmouche since joining the promotion in 2014.
