Evloev has his sight fixed on Alexander
Volkanovski’s featherweight title.
Evloev handed Lerone
Murphy his lone pro loss via a majority decision in the main
event at
UFC London on Saturday. Currently unbeaten in 10
UFC outings, Evloev is now considered the frontrunner for the
next title shot against Volkanovski.

held his own on the feet against Murphy. Evloev sincerely believes
that he won’t need wrestling to beat Volkanovski.
“I’ll listen to your interview, and one thing about me, I’ll never
make excuses,” Evloev wrote. “I truly don’t believe I need
wrestling to beat you. You’re a great champion, and I respect you,
but it would be something special to take your throne. Big respect
see you soon.”

Evloev’s fight against Murphy was a closely-contested technical
affair, which had fans and pundits divided on the decision.
Diego
Lopes, who previously lost to Evloev, hinted that the fight was
boring with yawning emojis.
😅🥱

Meanwhile, another fallen opponent of Evloev, Aljamain
Sterling, disagreed with the scorecards.
Just rewatched the first 3 rounds again.
We’re all confused on how scoring works in this sport. It’s still
seems more subjective than criteria based.
RD1: very close but more activity from Murphy.
RD2: close still but Murphy ahead on strikes.
RD3: really tight until the last 25…— Aljamain

A Message for the Critics
Reacting to the critics, Evloev reminded them that he has already
left them behind in his wake.
“This is for all my haters,” Evloev wrote. “A couple of the
opponents I beat had a lot to say about me, and they weren’t very
nice. A couple of the others were respectful. Either way, love me
or hate me, I’m going to be a champion, and you will not. I’m only
focused on winners. Losers stay focused on winners, and you already
lost.”
