Evloev Broke His Nose a Month Before UFC London

UFC featherweight title contender Movsar Evloev has revealed he sustained a significant injury just four weeks before his last fight.

The Russian fighter broke his nose during training a month prior to his bout with Lerone Murphy. The undefeated fighter, boasting a 20-0 professional MMA record, corroborated his statement with a photo showing both his eyes bruised and his nose severely swollen.

Evloev defeated Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC London last weekend. After five grueling rounds of action at the O2 Arena, the former Greco-Roman wrestler was declared the winner by split decision.
