Insider info
Movsar Evloev favored over Lerone Murphy lean UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs Murphy · March 15, 2026
strikingdecent
grapplinggreat
A hedged pick built around his ability to win rounds through top control, with real acknowledgment that his opponent carries live finishing/upset value as a big underdog.
Evloev's path here is almost entirely through wrestling — elite chain wrestling, relentless takedown attempts, and excellence at both advancing position and reversing scrambles, all backed by heavy top pressure and accurate ground-and-pound. His hands are functional and the takedown threat helps them land, but he's likely a step behind his opponent in a pure standing fight. The read is that his ability to control large stretches of the clock on top is very hard to beat unless he gets finished outright.
