Aljamain Sterling saw the UFC London main event result, looked at the scorecards, and basically said the math is still cursed.
Movsar Evloev got the official majority decision over Lerone Murphy in a featherweight title eliminator, but Sterling was not buying the scoring logic. And he did not sugarcoat it.
He posted: “Lmaoo bruuuh!!!!! I’m telling you! Somehow I’m the hater to some of these keyboard warriors… One thing about me is I’m always fair and speak the truth. The moment I dont, plz call me out on it.”
That message hit hard because Sterling is not some random fan yelling at a TV. He has fought at the highest level, and he has already shared the cage with Evloev, which gives his breakdown extra weight in the same way Michael Bisping’s disagreement did.

Sterling’s Main Point: The Criteria Still Feels Messy
After rewatching, Sterling gave his own round-by-round read and pushed the draw argument directly. He wrote:
“Just rewatched the first 3 rounds again. We’re all confused on how scoring works in this sport. It’s still seems more subjective than criteria based. RD1: very close but more activity from Murphy. RD2: close still but Murphy ahead on strikes. RD3: really tight until the last 25 sec where Movsar opens a cut on Murphy. Does that steal the RD?? RD 4&5: Clear for Movsar. Point deduction. This fight is a draw, if RD3 is scored for Movsar.”

That is the core of the controversy: close early rounds, a point deduction, and then scorecards that still left a lot of people confused. MMA fans have seen this movie before, and nobody likes the ending.
The official result is a majority decision win for Evloev, but the fallout is bigger than one night because this fight directly affects the featherweight title queue around Alexander Volkanovski.
So yeah, Evloev keeps his perfect record. Sterling keeps his opinion. And the rest of us get another classic post-fight argument where half the fanbase turns into part-time judges by breakfast.
