Evloev vs. Murphy Set for UFC London After Weigh-Ins, With Title Stakes in Play

The winner is widely viewed as next for Alexander Volkanovski without a UFC guarantee.

Overview

  • Undefeated contenders Movsar Evloev (146) and Lerone Murphy (145) successfully made weight to headline at The O2 on March 21.
  • The bout is broadly presented as a featherweight eliminator for a Volkanovski title challenge, though fighters say they have not been told a shot is assured.
  • DraftKings and other sportsbooks list Evloev as the betting favorite around -245 to -250, with Murphy roughly +200.
  • UK coverage is on TNT Sports and U.S. streaming is on Paramount+, with prelims at 1 p.m. ET and the main card at 4 p.m. ET.
  • Weigh-ins produced one card change after Luana Carolina missed weight by eight pounds and her bout was canceled, while pre-fight talk included Evloev confirming Murphy once dropped him in sparring eight years ago.
