Evloev has dominated everyone he’s faced. However, because of always taking them to decisions, he’s not exactly got fans clamoring for him to get a title shot. Don’t call him boring, though … he hates that.
Murphy has been a little more exciting than Evloev, finishing Aaron Pico with a spinning elbow in his last fight. However, he’s not really captured much attention (unlike a few select others in the Featherweight rankings).
It seems likely that the winner of this will get a title shot. However, it wouldn’t be too surprising if either got passed over in favor of someone else who gets a big win and captures a lot of attention while doing so.
The main card also has Michael ‘Venom’ Page vs. Sam Patterson, which might be a bit of a spite booking for Page (who is not very pleased with the state of UFC right now).
The “Prelims” have a lot of interesting prospects, including former OKTAGON double champ, Losene Keita (who fights Nathaniel Wood), and Mario Pinto (whose got Felipe Franco).
