Lee Murray would be a superstar today

Good looking guy. Rough London gangster with no fear of anyone.

Could talk the talk in a cool accent and had an exciting fight style.

The guy would be one of the sports biggest superstars if he was fighting today in the Conor era.

There are a few good documentaries about him. his life would make for a great movie plot

He might have struggled to pass USADA but I wouldā€™ve loved to see him in the modern ufc!

A good wrestler, or yoel/trt vitor, costa, yzzy would have ended his career at mw, i dont get it why people remembers him

Itā€™s the stuff outside of the cage, thatā€™s why people talk about him.

Yep, itā€™s like everyone is vladtv and eant to hear about him being a hard man.

Wrestling didnā€™t stop Conor bruv.

Youā€™s are probably right. Itā€™s just a cool story which is lacking a bit these days. We all like a likeable bad guy for some reason

Canā€™t say he didnā€™t have some real talent tho

You reckon?
I know a bit about the guy but I assumed if any of em were clean Iā€™d guess heā€™d fall in that category.
Is it just the era that makes you say that , or is there something Iā€™ve missed?

Itā€™s the era mainly but also the fact he was a street guy in London and his physique was pretty jacked

Had some traps and guns on him

Yeah, Iā€™m hearing ya , but Iā€™m thinking the other way. He had an ok physic but nothing out of the realm of natty believability. And you donā€™t become a tough guy just by jabbing a needle in your ass.
Iā€™m gonna lean towards he was natty. Not to say that Iā€™d be shocked in either direction.
Example. Sugar sean Oā€™mally. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if that grubby little fucker is on the gear. Why? Because why the fuck would he want to remain the scrawine little fuck he came in as.
Izzy adasanya . Unfortunately the dude is a juicer. Still looks fairly like shit.
Thereā€™s heaps of dudes more muscler than those pair in the world. ( doesnā€™t mean they can fight a lick )
Era . Mmmmm???
Physic. Mmmm???
I guess the biggest reason I think heā€™s probably clean is that givin the era and upbringing , if he was on the gear heā€™d probably be the sort of dude that would go hard at it. Mutherfucker would coming in at heavyweight looking like Dorian Yates.

Let me get this straight, you thought Lee Murry, who was a drug dealer, was clean of roids???

When he had his one UFC fight, this whole forum was like half Lee Murray threads. People were really excited about him. Then he fought and lost to Anderson Silva in Cage Rage (I think) and then came the stabbing and he was out of the news for a while but everyone expected him to get his career back on track at some point. Turns out Lee had other plans to secure his financial future.

Lee was definitely juiced up. He and his ā€œenforcerā€ here were surely on the same stuff. Big time drug dealers need to look as big and intimidating as possible, and they have all the money for the best juice. Add in the lax drug testing in MMA back then and thereā€™s no reason for him NOT to be on the juice.

The video is gone from YouTube now, but in his fight with Alex Reid, Lee looked like a massive bodybuilder, and he gassed out very early, kept turning away from the ref and eventually got DQā€™ed. I think he got the vid removed.

Ehhhā€¦ Maybe ask khabib about that.

Also, Lee has been having prison sex for the last decade and wonā€™t be able to walk properly never mind fight.

I remember he was supposed to be the next big thing. He KOā€™d Tito in a street fight, as much as Tito denies it. He had a fight in the UFC lined up, I want to say it was against Jorge Rivera, but he couldnā€™t get a visa in time and almost got stabbed to death around then. Tough guy. Dana White once said something like how Murray was one of the scariest people heā€™d been around, and he wasnā€™t talking in terms of his fighting skills.

If they set up the right matches for him he wouldā€™ve been a star. The brash Brit trash talk & street fights galore. Solid hands in the cage. Heā€™s like a Guy Ritchie character so heā€™d be a star.
