For Lauren being the older of the two fighters, she has retained her youthful quickness more than Meisha is seems. #UFCLongIsland

20-18 @LaurenMurphyMMA after 2 rounds! But great match up!!! @ufc

A non-technical analysis of Tate/Murphy: Lauren is fighting, Miesha is sparring. Our guy @cody_merrow has been all over this one with confidence.

Yes! Way to go @LaurenMurphyMMA !! Great performance! #UFCLongIsland
— BRYAN BARBERENA (@bryan_barberena) July 16, 2022
Always respect for Miesha! But Lauren just looked like the more quicker stronger fighter out there, despite being the older of the two! #UFCLongIsland
