Introduction
UFC Fight Night 270: Evloev vs. Murphy took place on March 21, 2026 at The O2 Arena in London, England — the UFC’s 17th visit to London and first since UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady in March 2025. The featherweight title-eliminator main event featured two undefeated contenders: No. 2-ranked Movsar Evloev (19-0) against No. 3-ranked hometown hero Lerone Murphy (17-0-1). The card drew 18,629 fans and generated $4.52M in gate revenue.
Evloev earned a hard-fought majority decision (48-46, 48-46, 47-47) to improve to 20-0 and earn a featherweight title shot — though a point deduction for a low blow added controversy. Murphy suffered the first loss of his career. Iwo Baraniewski destroyed Austen Lane in 28 seconds ($100k PoN, 8-0). Shanelle Dyer earned $100k PoN with a TKO of Oliveira. Christian Leroy Duncan continued his rise with a UD over Dolidze. Luke Riley stayed perfect at 13-0.
