UFC London: Movsar Evloev vs. Lerone Murphy picks and predictions
See who we think will win in the O2 this weekend.
The UFC is in London Town this weekend with a card that, honestly, belongs in the APEX. The main event is a match-up of undefeateds, which should result in the next title challenger for Alex Volkanovski’s featherweight crown. However, Movsar Evloev vs. Lerone Murphy isn’t exactly very sexy, on paper.
The co-main event is top prospect Luke Riley vs. Michael Aswell Jr. (hilarious). The main card also has Michael Page vs. Sam Patterson (for some reason). Roman Dolidze vs. Christian Leroy Duncan, Kurtis Campbell vs. Danny Silva and Iwo Baraniewski (who is very fun) vs. Austen Lane round out the main card.
The prelims have some good prospects, including Mario Pinto, Mantas Kondratavicius and the former OKTAGON double champ Losene Keita.
Check out who we are picking to win these fights below. Since this isn’t a PLE, it’s just our names down there, not our commentary.
Last week we did very well. Steph got the best record, though, going 15-4. That is enough to make her leapfrog over me into first in our leader board. I went 11-8 last week.
We all hit on our lock picks last night. That’s the pick we’re all super confident in and gives us 10 bonus points if we get it right. I went with Kevin Vallejos last week. I’m currently 7-0 with my lock picks.
You can see my lock of the week below, along with everyone elses.
