UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs. Murphy

UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs. Murphy produced an unusual statistical profile, ranking as the 7th lowest finishing event of 2026 despite generating four knockouts. The card's 30.8% finish rate placed it 693rd out of 765 all-time UFC events, yet it simultaneously achieved the 5th highest knockdown rate of the year at 1.5 per hour, suggesting fighters were hurting opponents but struggling to close the show.

The event featured several career-defining performances in the data. Movsar Evloev tied his career highs in both significant strikes landed (86, just two shy of his personal best of 88) and takedowns (9), while Danny Silva achieved a rare feat by recording his career-high 2 knockdowns in a fight he ultimately finished via TKO. Antonio Trocoli set multiple career benchmarks despite losing, posting personal bests in control time (303 seconds) while landing a career-low 17 significant strikes.
