Evolution vs. Momentum: Who Will Dominate UFC 2023?

Lerone Murphy is days away from entering a historic matchup against Movsar Evloev in the main event of UFC Fight Night 270. The featherweight matchup between Murphy (17-0-1 MMA, 9-0-1 UFC) and Evloev (19-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) is an unofficial title eliminator, which brings a bit of history to the table. The O2 Arena in London will host the fight featuring the most combined wins without a loss in UFC history (36), surpassing Ian Machado Garry vs.

Shavkat Rakhmonov (33). "Wow, that's crazy," Murphy told MMA Junkie. "That's crazy, a record.

So, I'll have to bring that one up as well. I'm proud. ...

I think this fight should have been for the title, really, but it's a massive fight, and I think the winner goes on to be champion for sure. " Alexander Volkanovski currently holds the title and, after his recent rematch win over Diego Lopes , stated that he owes it to the division to give the next shot to the most deserving contender. It was a message that resonated with everyone in the division, including Murphy, as the UFC doesn't always reward title opportunities on merit.
