Lerone 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.”
