Lerone Murphy Downplays Movsar Evloev Bout as Title Eliminator at UFC London

“Words are wind, innit?” Murphy said, rejecting claims his March 21 O2 headliner vs unbeaten Evloev is officially a No. 1 contender bout. “Nothing’s concrete.” He added, “It’s a performance-based company,” but warned, “It would be unfair to say you’ve got to…get a crazy knockout.” Murphy insisted, “The winner should be undeniably next in line…Simple,” as Alexander Volkanovski eyes the winner for a title defense.
