Lerone Murphy’s other life-threatening experience
Lerone Murphy has, on various occasions, thanked MMA for saving his life. This was not the first time Lerone has been involved in a serious near-death experience. Lerone was once shot in his face twice, but he miraculously survived, earning himself the nickname “the miracle.”
Lerone was shot in broad daylight in 2013 and was rushed to the hospital with bullet wounds to his neck and chin. This was before Lerone started MMA and was still living in Manchester. Lerone survived the attack, and the assailant was arrested a year later for suspicion of attempted murder.
Lerone then decided to turn his life around and started training MMA in the power gym, but after some time moved to California to train at Alliance MMA. The gym had a legacy of fighters like Alexander Gustafsson, Jeremy Stephens, and Dominick Cruz. Lerone debuted in the UFC in 2019 and has been undefeated since then.
