There’s a lot of talk going on social media about the Lerone Murphy vs. Movsar Evloev fight. Fans and UFC stars believe Murphy won the fight, or the fight could’ve been given as a draw. But the English fighter initially thought he lost the fight, though after rewatching it, he changed his mind.
The 34-year-old fighter isn’t fully convinced he lost to the Russian fighter and believes the fight was much closer than the judges scored. ‘The Miracle’ feels he did enough early in the fight to win, or at least secure a draw. In his recent video, Murphy said:
“I believe I won the first three rounds… at worst it was a draw. Movsar will probably fight for the title next. Maybe we run it back for the belt.”
Now, Murphy acknowledged that the 32-year-old will likely get the next title shot, but he’s already thinking ahead. The English fighter aims to secure a rematch and defeat him. But fans are still unsure whether Evloev will get a title shot, as Jean Silva is also in talks.

Fans thought a knockout or a submission would come in the main event of UFC London, but fans saw a close fight between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy. Evloev won the fight via majority decision, but even after his win, his title shot isn’t yet secured, as Jean Silva is getting attention online.
With talks also around Silva being in the mix, the Russian fighter made his stance very clear. In the post-fight octagon interview, Evloev said, “UFC, there is no excuse to don’t let me fight for the title. I have nothing to say.”
