The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to the UK with everything on the line as Movsar Evloev faced hometown favorite Lerone Murphy in an undefeated, high-stakes clash at the O2 Arena.

Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the UK with a key featherweight clash as Movsar Evloev takes on hometown favorite Lerone Murphy in a battle of undefeated contenders. With both fighters interested in a title shot, this main event at the O2 Arena could change the shape of the 145-pound division overnight. The results of the UFC London gala can be seen below.

Evloev has quietly built one of the most impressive resumes in the featherweight division. Known for his relentless grappling, cardio and control, the Russian fighter has consistently beaten elite competition. Although he remains undefeated, critics question his finishing skills, but his dominance is undeniable.

On the other side of the Octagon stands Murphy, one of Britain’s most risky rising stars. Fighting in front of a home crowd, Murphy has a animated arsenal of strikes, good footwork and growing confidence. His ability to combine volume hitting with defensive awareness makes him a solemn threat that could derail Evloev’s momentum.

With both fighters undefeated, something has to give – and the winner could be next in line for UFC gold.

High stakes fights throughout the card

The card features emerging prospects and proven names from across departments, making this one of the UK’s most invigorating recent events:

  • Michael Page vs. Sam Patterson (Welterweight)
    We’re in for a striking display as the brilliant and unpredictable Page looks to make a statement against the risky Patterson.
  • Roman Dolidze vs. Christian Leroy Duncan (middleweight)
    A powerful clash of power and athleticism that can result in an unforgettable finish.
  • Iwo Baraniewski vs. Austen Lane (lightweight heavyweight)
    The undefeated prospect meets the battle-hardened veteran in a fascinating style duel.

Ismael Bonfim removed from UFC roster after gigantic weight miss
Ismael
Bonfim has been removed from the
Ultimate Fighting Championship roster.

Bonfim's UFC tenure ended after a loss to Francisco
Prado at
UFC Vegas 122 on Saturday. The Brazilian missed the non-title
lightweight limit by 7.5 pounds and forfeited 25% of his purse. He
then suffered a first-round technical knockout before being removed
from the roster.

Ismael Bonfim exits UFC with 2-5 record after third weight miss
and Francisco Prado TKO

This was Bonfim's third weight miss during his UFC tenure. He came
in 3.5 pounds overweight for a scheduled fight against Vinc Pichel
in 2023, prompting the bout's cancellation. Bonfim missed weight by
five pounds against Chris
Padilla last year and lost by knockout. He was finished in his
last four UFC appearances.

Before news of his departure, Bonfim posted a statement Sunday
reflecting on the loss. The 30-year-old thanked his supporters and
said his career was not over.

“Always grateful to God for life, health and every opportunity He
gives me,†Bonfim wrote on Instagram. “Everything doesn’t go as
planned, results don’t always come as desired, but my faith remains
unshakable. Because, above my plans, are God’s plans, and I choose
to trust, even when I don’t understand. Thank you to every person
cheering me on, praying for me and standing by my side no matter
the outcome. You are all part of my story! There are no excuses, no
shame, and much less reason to give up. We’ve come here the hardest
way, facing battles few know about, overcoming fears, breaking
barriers, and fighting against things that go far beyond what
happens inside an octagon. The result of a battle does not define
the value of a warrior, and defeat will never be able to erase the
entire history we have built. I keep my head held high, my heart at
peace and my faith even stronger. Because who knows where he came
from, everything he faced and how much he had to fight to get here,
doesn’t give up because of a result. My story doesn’t end here. God
is still writing the next chapters, and I trust Him completely. All
honor and all glory be given to God!â€

Bonfim earned a UFC contract on
Dana White's Contender Series in 2022 and won his promotional
debut with a flying knee knockout of Terrance
McKinney. He went 1-5 afterward, finishing his UFC tenure at
2-5.

UFC veteran Jai Herbert is rolling with the punches after a nice win over Matheus Camilo in Vegas last weekend.

Throughout the course of his tenure in the promotion, Jai Herbert has been able to pick up some pretty nice wins. Of course, he's also had his fair share of setbacks, but against Matheus Camilo on Saturday night, he made it two wins on the bounce.

Given the fact that he is now 38 years of age, many wouldn't have expected Jai Herbert to still be competing at this level considering some of the damage he's taken in the past. Alas, he continues to defy the odds in an impressive way.

After the fight, Jai Herbert spoke to reporters about his current approach to the MMA game.

Jai Herbert reflects on latest victory

“I feel good,†Herbert told MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight at UFC Fight Night 290. “I don't really look (at my age). I'm just rolling with it. … Usually they have a fight the start of the year in London. But whatever. I like fighting on the road. I really enjoy. I fought in Winning in April. Now fought in Vegas. I'm just happy to get there and fight. I'm just taking it every day as it comes.â€

“He was loading up with the big shots and I knew that was going to end up draining him,†Herbert said. “Obviously I was tired too, but I imposed my will on him. I knew I was going to win, especially in that last round. I wanted to work harder and that's what I did.â€

‘I feel free of the shackles’: Michael Page reacts to signing with Misfits Boxing after UFC departure

‘I feel free of the shackles’: Michael Page reacts to signing with Misfits Boxing after UFC departure

Michael Page has found his new combat sports home after a head-scratching UFC run.

Page was not re-signed by the UFC following his decision win over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris in September, improving his promotional record to 5-1. Despite being ranked in two different divisions, the UFC couldn't wait to let Page enter free agency, and this past Saturday, “MVP†was announced as the newest signing to Misfits Boxing for a multi-fight deal.

“Venom†spoke about his decision following the announcement, and couldn't be happier to express himself creatively, which he couldn't do in the UFC.

“To be fair, this one happened relatively quickly,†Page told The Stomping Ground. “We kind of didn't know as recent as three or four days back, it still wasn't 100 percent confirmed where we're going. But yeah, this makes sense.

“Like I said out there, I feel free of the shackles. I'm a very creative person — my walkouts, my entrances, my exits — and I wasn't allowed to do that. And I feel like here, they're literally like, â€Look, we want you to be yourself.“ That's going to help me be my best self.â€

While Page had success from a wins and losses perspective, his fights left a bit to be desired. But it seemed like the writing was on the wall almost immediately for Page's UFC run, as his signing was, essentially, a throwaway portion of a Dana White post-event press conference. Page's lone UFC loss came against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303 in June 2024.

The 39-year-old knows more could've been accomplished in the UFC, but he's excited to put a fresh coat of paint on his next chapter of competition.

“For me, it's a shame,†Page explained. “I just feel like there's so much more the UFC could be doing for fighters. Regardless, whether you like them, hate them, they are the biggest combat show in terms of MMA. So you have to value them, there's some ridiculously talented fighters.

“But I went in there, and I was top-10 in two divisions, I was calling out everybody, wasn't getting any feedback. Again, [I] felt very restricted, so it's a shame because I felt like there was more fights, big fights that could be had. But here, I feel free. The big fights, the big names that are out there, that are away from other shows, it's all going to happen.â€
