Aljamain
\nSterling<\/a> doesn\u2019t agree with the scorecards of the
\nUFC London<\/a> main event between Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> and Lerone
\nMurphy<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Evloev (20-0) and Murphy (17-0) traded leather in a featherweight
\ntitle eliminator at UFC London on Saturday. It was a
\nclosely-contested affair, and Evloev won Rounds 1, 3, and 5 on two
\nof the judges\u2019 scorecards. Meanwhile, one judge gave Murphy the
\nfirst round, and all three gave him the second round. Despite
\ngetting deducted a point in Round 4, Evloev earned a majority
\ndecision victory. <\/p>\n

Sterling has voiced his doubts about the scoring criteria following
\nEvloev\u2019s win. Sterling posted a screenshot showing most of the MMA
\nmedia members scoring it a draw and a few scoring in favor of
\nMurphy. Even after rewatching the fight, \u201cFunkmaster\u201d is convinced
\nthat the fight should have been a draw at most in the best-case
\nscenario for Evloev.<\/p>\n

Lmaoo bruuuh!!!!! I\u2019m telling you! Somehow
\nI\u2019m the hater to some of these keyboard warriors… One thing about
\nme is I\u2019m always fair and speak the truth. The moment I dont, plz
\ncall me out on it. https:\/\/t.co\/K2OtVJ1P67<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJust rewatched the first 3 rounds again,\u201d Sterling wrote. \u201cWe\u2019re
\nall confused on how scoring works in this sport. It\u2019s still seems
\nmore subjective than criteria based. RD1: very close but more
\nactivity from Murphy. RD2: close still but Murphy ahead on strikes.
\nRD3: really tight until the last 25 sec where Movsar opens a cut on
\nMurphy. Does that steal the RD?? RD 4&5: Clear for Movsar.
\nPoint deduction. This fight is a draw, if RD3 is scored for
\nMovsar.\u201d<\/p>\n
