Movsar Evloev broke nose weeks before UFC London win

It was anything but a smooth training camp.

No. 1-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight contender Movsar Evloev picked up a controversial majority decision win over Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC London this past weekend (Sat., March 21, 2026) inside the O2 Arena in London, England — and the victory may be even more impressive than it initially seemed.

That’s because Evloev reportedly broke his nose just four weeks before fight night.

Despite all of that, the undefeated Russian still delivered when it mattered most.

Now 10-0 inside the Octagon, Evloev holds notable wins over Murphy, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen, and Diego Lopes — and appears to have finally secured a long-awaited title shot.
