Ultimate Fighting Championship has showcased and built the women’s bantamweight and strawweight divisions very well since their inception, creating multiple stars from each weight class within the past couple years.
While there is no question now as to whether or not female fighters are getting the cold shoulder when it comes to headlining events, some fighters under contract with the UFC believe other talents are getting more opportunities based on favoritism.
Lauren Murphy believes that Jessica Eye has been getting more opportunities than her inside the octagon and she let it be known in this Twitter beef:
That actually reall funny cause I am told the bitch is cut from the ufc so I don't why she keeps flapping her mouth https://t.co/UVapvACGak

@LaurenMurphyMMA do yourself a favor & quit trying to talk yourself into a fight that you're fighting ability will never be able to get you.

? you're right…I should have aimed higher than picking a fight with someone who lost their last 5 out of 6. I'm setting the bar too low… https://t.co/BvwXPla9gb

Murphy has been asking for a fight with Eye for quite some time now; Do you think they’ll line this fight up with all this animosity?
