Murphy took a slight dig at the scorecards following his loss
to Movsar
Evloev.
Murphy (17-1-1) and Evloev (20-0) put their undefeated records on
the line in the main event at
UFC London on Saturday. The fight was a technical masterclass,
which had fans and pundits divided on how to score it. Evloev
eventually earned a majority decision win despite getting penalized
a point in the fourth round due to a low blow.
Murphy congratulated Evloev in his post-fight Octagon interview,
while also calling for the Russian to get the next featherweight
title shot. However, Murphy is seemingly having second thoughts
after rewatching the fight. Not one to talk much, the Englishman
posted a laughter emoji upon rewatching the fight.
A Jab at the Judges?
“Just watched the fight back,” Murphy wrote on X. “Congrats to
[Evloev] either way.”

Evloev’s win over Murphy received mixed reactions from fans and
pundits alike. However, when asked about the controversial
scorecards, Dana White said that he saw no controversy.
