Lerone Murphy Advocates for 10-10 Scoring in MMA After Loss to Evloev
Lerone Murphy has suggested that MMA judges should score rounds with minimal action as draws. This proposal comes after Murphy lost his undefeated record to Movsar Evloev by majority decision in London earlier this year.
In a discussion with FightersAdvice, Murphy expressed that rounds lacking significant activity should not automatically favor one fighter. He cited his fight with Evloev, noting that the first round was particularly uneventful, leading to a debate over scoring. Despite a point deduction against Evloev, the judges awarded him the round on two of three scorecards.
Evloev is set to challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the UFC featherweight championship at UFC 333. Meanwhile, Murphy has not competed since his loss but continues to advocate for changes in scoring protocols for closely contested fights.
