Murphy targets Evloev

Lerone Murphy is pushing for a showdown with Movsar Evloev as his pathway to a UFC featherweight title chance.

Both men were reportedly overlooked when Diego Lopes was granted a rematch with champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 325 in Sydney on Jan. 29, 2026.

Murphy called Evloev the toughest opponent to arrange and suggested the matchup would decide who deserves the next shot.

The pairing is being discussed as a high-stakes eliminator that could influence Volkanovski's next defense.
