With the experience in Movsar Evloev’s corner, this is his fight to lose. With the takedowns given up by Lerone Murphy I expect it to be a quick night for the Russian.The UFC's move with the matchmaking here is actually genius. They don't really want Movsar Evloev or Lerone Murphy get a title shot, much less both of them. Instead, they are making them fight and removing at least one from the Alexander Volkanovski pool!
