UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs. Murphy (also known as UFC Fight Night 270) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on March 21, 2026, at The O2 Arena in London, England.[2]
Background
The event marked the promotion's 17th visit to London and first since UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Brady in March 2025.[2]
A featherweight title eliminator bout between undefeated contenders Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy headlined the event.[3][4] The bout featured a combined 36–0–1 record, the largest undefeated total for any matchup in UFC history.[5]
A heavyweight bout between Mick Parkin and undefeated prospect Mario Pinto was scheduled for this event.[6] However, Parkin withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Felipe Franco.[7]
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:[8]
- Ravena Oliveira weighed in at 116.5 pounds, half a pound over the women's strawweight non-title fight limit.
- Luana Carolina weighed in at 144 pounds, eight pounds over the women's bantamweight non-title fight limit.
Oliveira's bout proceeded at catchweight and she was fined a percentage of her individual purse which went to her opponent Shanelle Dyer.[8] Carolina's bout against Melissa Mullins was cancelled as a result of the weight miss.[9]
