The unbeaten streak has come to a halt in my country. The side that laughed in the face-off where the strongest spear and shield of the featherweight collided was ranked first.

Mobsar Yevloyev (32, Russia) won the match against Leron Murphy (34, England) in the featherweight match of the main event "UFC Fight Night: Yevloyev vs Murphy" at the O2 Arena in London on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time).

With this, Yevloyev is one step closer to the next title challenge, building a golden tower of 20 wins and no losses in his career with 10 consecutive UFC wins.

Even before the match, the matchup was highly anticipated due to the collision of featherweight divinity, who boasted an unbeaten total of 37 matches. Either Yevloyev with 19 wins and no losses or Murphy with 17 wins and 1 draw was destined to record their first defeat.

Murphy caught the early flow of the game. Murphy, who was backed by the unilateral support of England's home fans, put the sharp hitting of the boxing base ahead.

Murphy tormented Yevloyev, who was moving forward in the first and second rounds, showing a sophisticated footwork and sharp counter ability. Yevloyev also saw an opportunity in the beginning by continuing the batting battle rather than unreasonable wrestling attacks.

However, Yevloyev's counterattack began in the third round. Yevloyev came to the lead of the game with his unique pressure, and he also launched an efficient attack in the fourth round and drove Murphy.

There were also variables. Yebloev was deducted for committing two Loblo fouls, and the direction of the game seemed to fall into the fog.

But in the last five rounds, Yevloyev's wrestling skills shone. Yevloyev dominated Murphy on the ground with several takedowns after shaking him with a sharp hit. Murphy resisted without giving up to the end, but it was not enough to overcome Yevloyev's strong pressure. In the end, the victory went to Yevloyev as a result of the referee's judgment.

Yevloyev, who showed the essence of Russian Greco-Roman wrestling, is also prominent as the cousin of 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Moussa Yevloyev. Murphy, who was confident of winning the finish at home, ended his unbeaten streak in 17 games with his first loss since entering the Octagon.

With this victory, Yevloyev, who achieved 10 consecutive UFC wins, is likely to face two-time champion Alexander Volkanovski.
