I'm going to change the text on our 'Free Lee Murray' shirts to 'Freed Lee Murray' in the immediate future. This morning I received a phone call and an email from the same source who enabled MiddleEasy to obtain an unprecedented interview with Lee Murray earlier this year.
According to my source, Lee Murray will be released from his Moroccan jail due to the actions of a forensics officer that worked on his case. Recently, this unnamed Kent officer was disciplined for disposing evidence in another case which forced police to inform Lee Murray's lawyers of the mishap. This will lead to a retrial which, what I'm told, will result in a 'very definite' chance that Lee Murray will be released from his prison in Morocco. It's also important to note that if a retrial is granted to any of the five men that were jailed in 2007, Lee Murray will be released.
I've also been told that the primary thing Lee Murray wants to do after being released is to return to his MMA career. Apparently Murray is in the same shape that he was in when he submitted Jorge Rivera with a triangle a few years ago. From what I've heard, competing in MMA is the only thing on Lee Murray's mind and he's even been offered to be featured on a main event in two separate MMA organizations pending his release. Lee Murray's anticipated release date is sometime at the end of 2011.
I guess this is cool. I only know him as the guy who KO'd Tito and robbed a bank or something like that. I have no idea as to whether or not he's actually good at MMA though.
err.. was going to say yes he is the guy who KOed tito (when tito was lhw champ) and he helped from a bank for like 50million quid. The guy is a street fighting legend.
Nevermind this guy being a completely lunatic and holding an innocent family hostage, let's get excited about him being released so he can return to MMA!
I very much doubt he'll be getting a US visa somehow
I don't think there is any chance of the ufc bringing him back. If they did i would be shocked. What he did makes Barnett,Nate,Falco look like a saint.
from my understanding lee is in jail in Morocco for drugs and not for the robbery. If he is freed he will picked up the UK and jailed for the robbery or at least should!
I believe it was myself and ROFLcopter that were discussing wasted talent in another thread recently. Lee Murray definitely came up. He had all the talent and potential in the world and then pissed it away.
They won't let him back to the UFC, it would definitely send the wrong message on so many levels. Paul Daley won't ever come back after his sucker punch, I'd be damned if they let a convicted criminal.
Never been a more overrated fighter, never beat any body of above a mid tier fighter and his entire hype comes from a rumor about him knocking out Tito.
Rumor doesn't mean jack squat. How you do in the cage is what determines what kind've fighter you are. There are few weekend warriors in MMA.
