Murphy started well in the featherweight title elliminator, but Evloev pulled away down the stretch by effectively mixing his striking and wrestling. However, the majority of media scorecards on MMADecisions.com either scored the fight a draw or 48-46 in favor of Murphy.
Back with a Vengeance
Murphy, who had a nine-bout UFC winning streak snapped, reacted to the loss in a separate post on Instagram.
“Loved every second of the fight,” he wrote. “I thought I done enough to take the first [three] rounds although it was close. A draw at the very least with the point deduction but on to the next. Movsar fought a smart fight and didn’t give me many openings. I could have created a bit more chaos. I hope we can run this back at some point. I’LL BE BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.”
Murphy has bested the likes of Josh Emmett, Aaron Pico, Dan Ige and Edson Barboza during his Octagon tenure.
