Featherweight contenders Lerone Murphy vs. Aaron Pico will collide this weekend (Sat., Aug. 16, 2025) at UFC 319 inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Is it possible to be a dark horse contender while riding an eight-fight win streak?

He’ll have his hands full with the unbeaten Murphy. Murphy made his UFC debut back in 2019 where he fought to a draw. Since then, he’s gone 8-0 and in his last fight, he won a decision over the incredibly dangerous Josh Emmett in a fight night main event.

Both men made weight, with the undefeated Murphy registering at 146 pounds, while Murphy was on championship weight at 145 on the nose. Check out the video below to see their UFC 319 official weigh-ins.
