In the main event of a successful night at The O2 arena on Saturday night, Movsar Evloev added to his flawless record by ensuring a majority decision victory over Lerone Murphy. The Russian challenger overcame the initial rounds of stress and dominated the subsequent rounds with accurate groping and hitting, which earned him a score of 48-46, 48-46 and 47-47 in a match that caused a major controversy among both the fans and fighters.
Evloev Requests Title Shot Immediately
Evloev did not long wait to claim his mark after the fight was over. “What else is there? In my preparedness, I directly challenged undisputed featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, he said. The victory makes the unbeaten star the undeniable top candidate, and a blockbuster deal to fight in the summer to win the title is on the cards.
Lacklustre Win by Page Sparks Backlash
Michael Venom Page won a unanimous decision over Sam Patterson in the co-main event, but received negative reviews due to his poor performance, which caused UFC CEO Dana White to walk out of the arena in the middle of the fight. British fans complained about the absence of fireworks, casting doubt on Page’s further momentum in the welterweight division.
Emerging Talents Steal the Limelight
Early in the card, Danny Silva delivered a sickening second-round TKO to hyped prospect Kurtis Campbell, with other fights delivering finishes to keep the London crowd screaming. The featherweight division was strengthened by the card at the beginning of 2026.
As UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs Pyfer approaches, March 28, the Octagon is still aflame. The 145-pound landscape has been changed by Evloev in a way that is bringing explosive implications for titles in the coming months.
