Movsar Evloev Says Beating Lerone Murphy Doesn’t Guarantee UFC Title Shot
Movsar Evloev, Lerone MurphyNo. 1 UFC featherweight contender Movsar Evloev is going to lock horns with the undefeated Lerone Murphy this weekend in the main event of UFC London. The Murphy vs. Evloev bout is a title eliminator. However, the undefeated Russian fighter thinks even if he beats Murphy this Saturday, it might still not be enough to secure a title shot.
During a recent sit-down with UFC on Paramount+, he said:
“No matter what I say, it doesn’t guarantee anything. So I’d love not to look ahead of my opponent. Once I get this victory, then I’m gonna think about what comes after that. For now, all concentration is on [Murphy], and I am going to give him the respect that he has.
