4 years agoLiliya Shakirova (8-1) received what all fighters dream of, and that's the call-up to the UFC. The tough part, however, is that it's a late-notice bout against a veteran in Lauren Murphy. Shakirova enters the Octagon as the former Gorilla Fights strawweight champion. Shakirova has shown several times that she can go the distance, with four of her victories coming by finish and four coming by decision. It might be best to stay away from Shakirova going into this bout, as she has a very tough test in front of her in Murphy. Let's see how she performs against a veteran before investing in her moving forward.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
