Lerone Murphy suffered the primary lack of his skilled profession on Saturday night.
Murphy was beaten by Movsar Evloev via majority decision after they went five rounds on the O2 Arena in London, England.
The fight immediately led to Alexander Volkanovski talking about Evloev as his next challenger after the Russian’s win streak continued.
Despite the talk online, ‘The Miracle’ didn’t appear to have any issue with the end result while he was contained in the Octagon, but his feelings appear to have modified within the aftermath.

Lerone Murphy posts his response to watching Mosvar Evloev loss back after UFC London
Lerone Murphy was incredibly respectful towards Mosvar Evloev when speaking on the primary lack of his profession contained in the Octagon.
The Brit didn’t make any mention of feeling like he did enough to win the fight in his post-fight interview, saying that he gave every thing he had and it wasn’t enough.
A post from Murphy on social media suggests that after he sat and watched it the best way the fans did, he appears like he did in actual fact do enough to get his hand raised.
“Just watched the fight back,” he wrote on X, followed by the laughing/sweating emoji. “Congrats to Evloev either way.”
Murphy deserves credit for the best way he handled the loss, however it wouldn’t have been surprising to see him dispute the defeat given what number of others saw it.
Two of the three judges had the fight 48-46 in Evloev’s favor, with him only losing the second round, while the fourth was a draw because of him being deducted one point for fouls.
As for the media scores on MMA Decisions, not one of the 17 media members who submitted their cards had Evloev winning.
Five scorecards had Murphy up by 48-46, while the others believed it was a 47-47 draw.

What’s next for Lerone Murphy?
Lerone Murphy’s next move could rely on what happens regarding Alexander Volkanovski.
If Movsar Evloev gets the following title shot, a clash between ‘The Miracle’ and Jean Silva could be one other huge matchup within the featherweight division.
Murphy suggested one other idea when he responded to Diego Lopes criticizing him on social media after the fight.
“I didn’t lay on my back in guard for 3 rounds bro,” Murphy wrote on X, referencing Lopes’ loss to Evloev. “Let’s fight next?”
