UFC featherweight No. 1 Mofsar Yevloyev (32, Russia) won a showdown between undefeated fighters in 37 games, building a 20-game winning streak and proudly challenging himself.

Yevloyev beat No. 3 Leron Murphy of England (48-46, 48-46, 47-47) after the fifth round at UFC Fight Night: Yevloyev vs Murphy Main Event held at O2 Arena in London, England on the 22nd (Korea time).

As a result, Yevloyev recorded a career record of 20 wins and no losses, 10 wins and no losses in the UFC. On the other hand, Murphy's unbeaten streak (17 wins and 1 draw), which was defeated in his homeland, ended.

The game turned into an unexpected batting battle. Greco-Roman wrestling master Yevloyev countered with a hit without attempting a single takedown until the second round. The fierce battle continued throughout the first and second rounds, and the judges scored with Yevloyev in the first round and Murphy in the second round.

The match was decided in the third round. When Murphy drove Yevloyev to the bar and niked his abdomen, Yevloyev responded with a counter-double leg takedown and dragged the game to the ground. Murphy woke up immediately, but from then on, he began to be conscious of Yevloyev's wrestling, and Yevloyev won the game by hitting back-to-back hooks at the end of the round.

From the fourth round, a full-fledged wrestling offensive continued. Yevloyev took full control of the game with three takedowns in the fourth round and five in the fifth round. During the fourth round, Roblo, who attacked Murphy's groin, accumulated two times and received one point deduction, but the result of the game was not affected.

"I'm a better hitter than Murphy," Yevloyev said in a post-match interview. "My punch is strong and Murphy's face is ruined. I'm happy to show you that you don't have to wrestle to win."

Now, Yevloyev's eyes are on featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (37, Australia). He roared, "Since Volkanovski mentioned my name several times, I will accept his challenge, so let's stick together." In addition, he raised his voice, saying, "There is no excuse for the UFC not to give me the right to challenge the title."

However, UFC CEO Dana White acknowledged in a press conference, "Yebloev is definitely in a good position," but declined to say, "I'm not thinking about the right to challenge the title yet as the game just ended."

Meanwhile, England's featherweight star Luke Riley (26) showed off his overwhelming batting skills against Michael Aswell Jr. (25, USA), winning a unanimous decision and continuing his record of 13 wins and no losses.
