Undefeated featherweight contenders Movsar Evloev and Leron Murphy will meet in the main event at UFC Fight Night 270 on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, England. Zalal believes the key to victory for both fighters will be to deal with their opponent’s strong suits. Zalal picks Evloev to defeat Murphy eventually.

‘His Wrestling is Insane
“I’m interested to see how Lerone deals with the wrestling of Movsar and how Movsar deals with the striking of Lerone,” Zalal told Home of Fight. “… Whoever solves that puzzle first wins that fight… I think Movsar gets it done, his wrestling is insane.”
Evloev (19-0) has nine UFC victories to his name, the last four coming against elite opponents like Dan Ige, Diego Lopes, Arnold Allen and Aljamain Sterling. Murphy (17-0) also has nine UFC wins, most notably against Ige, Edson Barboza, Josh Emmett and Aaron Pico.
Meanwhile, Zalal (18-5) is also not far from the title picture himself. “The Moroccan Devil” is undefeated in five outings of his second UFC stint, with four finishes. Zalal is currently scheduled to face Sterling (25-5) at UFC Fight Night 274 on April 25 in Las Vegas.
