Lerone Murphy reveals injury during UFC London defeat to Movsar Evloev: \u201cI\u2019ll be back\u201d<\/a><\/p>\nMany fans, pundits and fellow fighters, however, believed that Murphy should have gotten the nod. As we have already noted, it was a very close bout, so there\u2019s no way to call it a robbery, but it perhaps wasn\u2019t as definitive as many would have hoped.<\/p>\n
In a recent video, Michael Bisping, who was criticized by some for his commentary of the fight, had the following to say on the result.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bisping\u2019s view on Murphy vs Evloev result<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll just get to the point: I thought Lerone \u2014 and I\u2019ve got nothing against Movsar, and this is not me being biased, for all the American fans \u2014 I thought Lerone should have won that fight,\u201d Bisping said on his YouTube channel. \u201cI thought he won the first three rounds. I thought Movsar didn\u2019t pick it up and really start going for it until Rounds 4 and 5. And clearly Movsar won Rounds 4 and 5. He dominated those rounds. He busted him up. He damaged him. Lerone was talking about at the end of 4, he blew his hip out and whatnot.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut even still, that\u2019s three rounds to two. And then, even if you give Movsar the third round, which was a close one, Movsar had a point deducted for the two groin shots. He had a point deducted in Round 4.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTough one for Lerone. \u2026 But Movsar Evloev, you\u2019ve got to say congrats, because maybe I\u2019m wrong,\u201d Bisping said. \u201cMaybe I\u2019ve got to watch the fight back. But I thought Lerone, his takedown defense was great. When Movsar did force the takedown, he was able to get back to his feet relatively easily. I thought he landed the cleaner strikes on the feet. Nothing with particular consequence. There wasn\u2019t the biggest \u2014 he didn\u2019t wobble him, and stumble him, and all that type of stuff. But I thought he landed the cleaner shots, and I thought he won the first three rounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, maybe I\u2019m wrong, but there was the point deduction. So, should it have been a draw? Because if it\u2019s two rounds apiece, and let\u2019s just say Movsar won three out of [five], well then, he\u2019s essentially lost one of them because he loses the point. So, if anything, it should have been a draw, in my humble opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
