The strongest shield and spear of the featherweight division, which boasts an unbeaten total of 37 games, will clash. Someone's unbeaten run must stop.

UFC announced on the 22nd (Korea time) that it will hold a showdown between No. 1 featherweight Mofsar Yevloyev (32, Russia) and No. 3 Leron Murphy (34, England) as the main event of the "UFC Fight Night: Yevloyev vs Murphy" competition at the O2 Arena in London, England.

The best undefeated fighters in the weight class will face off. Yevloyev has 19 wins and no losses, and Murphy has 17 wins and 1 draw, so if the two players' records are combined, they have no losses for as many as 37 games. Both fighters have won nine games since entering the UFC, and the winner of the event will emerge as a strong candidate to challenge champion Alexander Volkanovski with a 10-game winning streak.

The styles are sharply divided. Yevloyev is a wrestling master who shows the essence of Russian Greco-Roman wrestling. Also the cousin of 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Moussa Yevloyev, he has dominated his opponents with 42 takedowns in nine UFC fights. The stable operation of the game stands out as all nine wins are decided wins.

Murphy, on the other hand, is a powerful hit on the boxing base with the unilateral support of England's home fans. The nephew of the late Oliver Harrison, a famous boxing coach, combined with 54 percent of high effective batting accuracy and excellent defense. While boasting about twice as much hit power as the opponent, it also has strong wrestling defense to rank second in the weight class.

"I expect the stadium to be full," Murphy said on Media Day, expressing his aspiration, "If I finish this game with a finish, there will be no way not to give me the right to challenge the title." Regarding Yevloyev's wrestling, he said, "I believe that even if he succeeds in a takedown, I can get up right away. Rather, I will pressure him by eating away his energy."

Yevloyev also did not back down. "Murphy is outstanding in all areas and respects him, but there is no respect on the octagon," he said. "I'm ready to go to war." Regarding some criticism that his game management was boring, he said, "It's just the words of people who don't understand mixed martial arts," and emphasized, "It's not easy to stay at the top of the rankings at this level, but I'm always aiming for a finish."
