Movsar Evloev has spoken out on social media for the first time since UFC London.
The 20-0 Russian picked up a highly debated majority decision win over Lerone Murphy on Saturday.
Movsar Evloev took some time to take in all of the reaction before sharing his thoughts on X.

Movsar Evloev breaks his silence
Movsar Evloev’s initial message was aimed at UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
‘The Great’ was a little bit confused about Evloev’s game plan, but impressed by what he saw from his likely next challenger at UFC London.
“I’ll listen to your interview, and one thing about me, I’ll never make excuses,” Evloev tweeted.
“I truly don’t believe I need wrestling to beat you. You’re a great champion, and I respect you, but it would be something special to take your throne. Big respect, see you soon.”
The 32-year-old subsequently addressed the negativity surrounding his latest UFC win.
This is for all my haters. A couple of the opponents I beat had a lot to say about me, and they weren’t very nice. A couple of the others were respectful,” Evloev added.
“Either way, love me or hate me, I’m going to be a champion, and you will not. I’m only focused on winners. Losers stay focused on winners, and you already lost.”
Which former opponents hated on Movsar Evloev?
Aljamain Sterling said there is ‘no way Movsar Evloev should’ve won’ following UFC London.
The former bantamweight champion went three rounds with Movsar Evloev at UFC 310 in December 2024.
Fans were outraged when Sterling fell to a controversial unanimous decision defeat, so it’s understandable why he was angrier than most about Evloev benefiting from another debatable win.
Arnold Allen also expressed his view that Lerone Murphy should’ve gotten the victory this weekend.
However, ‘Almighty’ was quick to congratulate Evloev when the decision went the other way.
Murphy was initially full of praise for Evloev post-fight, but he changed his tune on Sunday.
“Just watched the fight back,” he wrote on X alongside a laughing emoji.
“Congrats to Evloev either way.”
