After Kevin Vallejos easily overwhelmed Josh Emmett and solidified himself as one of the featherweight (up to 65,7 kg) prospects in Las Vegas, now it's the turn of the undefeated Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy to face off in the main event of UFC London , this Saturday afternoon (21). First and third in the category ranking, the winner of the fight starts ahead to become the next challenger for Alexander Volkanovski 's belt.

Away from the octagon since 2024, Evloev has victories against big names in the category, such as Diego Lopes , Arnold Allen , and Aljamain Sterling . However, given the Russian's low activity, he has seen names like the Manaus native himself move ahead in the race for a title shot. Now, he hopes to establish himself as the number one contender if he spoils the party for the home favorite.
Murphy is coming off a big knockout win against Aaron Pico last year. With a perfect spinning elbow in the first round, the Englishman delivered one of the most beautiful knockouts of 2025, and as the host, he believes he can finally realize his dream of fighting for the title if he becomes the first to beat Movsar Evloev.
Brazil in the octagon
As usual, Brazil will have representatives at the event this Saturday (21). during the preliminary card. In the heavyweight category (up to 120,2 kg), Felipe Negão will have his first experience under Dana White's tutelage against the Portuguese Mario Pinto . In the middleweight category (up to 83,9 kg), Antonio Trocoli will face Lithuanian Mantas Kondratavicius, who makes his Ultimate debut after winning in the Contender Series in September last year and earning a contract with the UFC.
In the first fight of the night, Ravena Oliveira from Bahia faces Shanelle Dyer in a strawweight bout (up to 52,1 kg). After two consecutive losses, Oliveira enters the fight under pressure to secure her first victory in the world's largest MMA organization.
In addition to them, Luana Dread was also scheduled to face Melissa Mullins on the preliminary card. However, the Brazilian failed to make weight for the bantamweight category (up to 61,2 kg) by a wide margin during the weigh-in last Friday (20) and therefore, the duel was cancelled.
