The journey for Murdock has been far from easy. He was signed to the UFC at some point but his contract was pulled as he suffered from a brain disease called moyamoya. He was eventually cleared and fought last summer on the Contender Series. He unfortunately came up short and will now try his shot on The Ultimate Fighter Season 29. With a lot of these bantamweights untested and not much experience a guy like Murdock is bound to be a favorite. Murdock is well-rounded with a good gas tank so I expect Murdock to be a huge threat this season.
