UFC London 2026 LIVE: Murphy vs Evloev start time, undercard, fight updates and results tonight – UK Times

Murphy and Evloev have actually sparred together before, something that came up during Wednesday’s media day.

Here’s what Murphy had to say about their intriguing past…

Next up, Paddy Pimblett’s teammate Shem Rock aims to bounce back after losing his UFC debut in November.

Rock takes on Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady at lightweight, and the latter is unsurprisingly booed as he makes his ring walk.

Next out is Rock to a great reception, one day after he faked a handshake on Al-Selwady and pushed him at the weigh-in.

It’s already DEAFENING in the O2 as Dyer stops Oliveira early in round two!

Her body work freezes Oliveira, before an onslaught of strikes and some bullying wrestling set up a TKO against the cage.

If it’s this loud already, what will it be like for MVP, Riley and Murphy?

One of the more-surprising elements of tonight’s card is that Liverpool’s Luke Riley is in the co-main event, in just his second UFC fight.

It’s expected that the featherweight’s teammate, Paddy Pimblett, will walk him out in what should be a great moment at the O2.

However, surely Michael “Venom” Page should be in the co-main event instead, given his ranking and experience?

Well, even Riley thinks so!

The first fight of the night is under way, as England’s Shanelle Dyer takes on Ravena Oliveira at strawweight.

A good amount of fans are in the arena already, making noise. It bodes well for a good seven or so hours of MMA tonight!

Tonight’s card is under way! We’ll have you covered with live updates from the O2 Arena very shortly.

The event was due to begin with a women’s bantamweight bout: Melissa Mullins vs Luana Carolina. However, moments after an emotional Mullins made weight yesterday – follow two previous career misses – her opponent failed to make weight herself.

As such, that fight was cancelled, with Carolina 8lb over the 136lb limit.
