Alex Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, gave his prediction for the fight between Leon Murphy and Movsar Evloev.
"I think Movsar will win this fight if he is healthy. Lerone Murphy's fighting IQ will definitely cause problems for Movsar in the stand-up – he moves well and understands the game excellently. We saw that Pico managed to control him a little, and Movsar will be even more successful in this. Because Pico is just a good wrestler, very explosive, but in terms of control, Movsar is significantly better – in this, he is very good. I think he will be able to control Lerone. Could it happen that Lerone gets up and causes damage? Of course. But I think Movsar will be able to handle him and secure the victory."
