By hook or by crook, Movsar Evloev is now the last man standing.
Posting a clean 20 wins opposite zero defeats, with 10 of those coming inside the Octagon—all 10 by decision—Evloev (20-0, 10-0 UFC) kept his unblemished record intact by spoiling Lerone Murphy’s (17-1-1, 9-1-1 UFC). The two engaged in a competitive bout where judges and scoring media members largely diverged in their assessments. The Russian likely cemented his place for a crack at Alexander Volkanovski’s throne in their Ultimate Fighting Championship’s de facto featherweight title eliminator.
The UFC Fight Night 270 fight card, one where the betting line for the headliner to go to decision closed at -250 on some books, ended up needing its entirety to play out.
