“Robbery of the Year” – Movsar Evloev Leaves UFC Fans Fuming After Controversial Win Over Lerone Murphy

Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy delivered a thrilling main event action at UFC London on Saturday night inside the O2 Arena. But people aren’t quite satisfied with the outcome. Evloev surged late with dominant wrestling to edge out Murphy in a razor-close fight.

Despite Murphy’s strong middle rounds and Evloev’s point deduction in the fourth, Evloev’s pressure in the championship rounds sealed a majority decision win. Judges scored the fight 48-46, 48-46 in Evloev’s favor, while a third saw the fight a 47-47 draw.

As one may have guessed, the Russian featherweight immediately took the mic in the aftermath to call out the champion Alexander Volkanovski for a title fight, especially since Evloev and Murphy fought in a title eliminator.
