Callout Collection: Who UFC 247 winners want next – and how likely they’ll get them

Earning wins in the UFC is certainly no easy task, but what comes next is often even more important: the post-fight callout.

So after Saturday’s UFC 247 event in Houston, TX., who took advantage of their time on the mic? See below for this week’s Callout Collection – and just how realistic each one is.

First up, let’s take a look at the night’s prelim winner.

Lauren Murphy

Wants to fight: Roxanne Modafferi or Joanne Calderwood

Lauren Murphy picked up a big win against Andrea Lee to claim notable back-to-back victories, and her callout of Roxanne Modafferi seems perfectly pitched, too.

Modafferi is a tough test for anyone in the division and probably isn’t someone too many of her fellow 135ers will readily accept, so the UFC matchmakers are likely to welcome Murphy’s callout, and a meeting between the pair later this year may prove to be a useful addition for one of the UFC’s summer cards.

Next up, let’s check out the main card.
