Background

Murphy grew up in a small town in Alaska. [8] Her father was killed in a plane crash when she was 11, causing issues that led to drinking, using drugs and dropping out of high school. [8] Murphy said about starting martial arts: "I took my son to a Jiu Jitsu class in late 2009, and I took the class with him to encourage him. I fell in love with it and started going all the time. I began training MMA about 3 months later, and took my first pro fight 3 months after that. I did not have any amateur fights." [9] She attended nursing school but dropped out to pursue a career in mixed martial arts. [10]

Mixed martial arts career

Murphy began her pro mixed martial arts career in Alaska on June 9, 2010, fighting in the featherweight division (145 lbs). She won four straight fights and captured two featherweight titles; one for Alaska Fighting Championship and one for the now-defunct promotion Alaska Cage Fighting. [11] [12]

After moving to Florida, Murphy stepped in on short notice to face Jennifer Scott in a bantamweight bout at Legacy Fighting Championship 18 on March 1, 2013. She defeated Scott by TKO in the first round. [13]

Invicta Fighting Championships

Murphy made her Invicta FC debut as a replacement opponent against Kaitlin Young at Invicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson on April 5, 2013. [13] She defeated Young by unanimous decision. [14] [15]

[32] Murphy won the back-and-forth fight by split decision. [33]
