In the 2000s, Murray went from Bettendorf, Iowa to train at the well-known Miletich Fighting Systems camp run by the former UFC Welterweight champion Pat Miletich. In an interview he conducted prior to the Rushton fight, Murray stated that while at MFS the camp he was trained in a “hell of a lot of ground work. And a lot of kickboxing too. I prefer standup. Well, I just prefer to strike really. I like to keep the fight standing up and punch. Mind you, I like to punch from the mount too. I like to strike.”

Murray had four professional fights in 2000; the first was a 12 March encounter with Mike Tomlinson under the banner of “Ring of Truth.” Murray won the fight via a kimura submission in the first round, but it was in February 2004 that he would expand on some of the events surrounding the fight. Writing on a message board in a now-archived thread from the mixed martial arts website Sherdog, Murray told the story of watching Prince Naseem Hamed’s fight at a pub the night before his own match with Tomlinson; when a patron stood in front of Murray and then accused him of stealing his seat after being asked to move, Murray allegedly knocked the man, and his friend who attempted to aid him, unconscious, followed by knee strikes to knock out a bartender who rushed to break up the fight. The following morning – and day of his fight with Tomlinson – Murray was unable to close his left hand. After taping the hand, Murray relied solely on his good (right) hand, stating that he “caught him [Tomlinson] with a few good rights…he was rocked so he took me down then I caught him in a keylock on the ground and won the fight…after that I went to the hospital and got my hand plastered up, it was broke in two places.”

Murray would marry Siobhan on 24 November 2000, listing himself on their wedding certificate as a “professional fighter.” Murray would then divorce Siobhan in 2008 while incarcerated in a Moroccan jail.

Soon after escaping arrest, Murray became a student of mixed martial arts and he took part in his first fight on December 5, 1999 in a fight dubbed “Millennium Brawl” that was held at Hemel Hempstead Pavilion. The adversary was Rob Hudson, and Murray knocked him out of the first round. This led the event’s promoter Andy Jardine to say, “He was so quick they called him ‘Lightning’ Lee Murray.”
