Movsar Evloev: a Greco-Roman wrestler who has never lost a round on the cards
He debuted at UFC Fight Night 149 in Saint Petersburg on April 20, 2019, replacing Muin Gafurov against Seung Woo Choi. Most of his UFC fights were rescheduled at least once. Two cards in 2020 and 2022 fell through when he tested positive for COVID-19, and a fight with Aaron Pico in July 2025 was cancelled when he pulled out with an injury. He won a title eliminator over Lerone Murphy in London in March 2026.
Evloev, attribute by attribute
Boxing. 84. Dan Ige lost a unanimous decision to him at UFC Fight Night 207 in June 2022.
Kickboxing. 80. Hakeem Dawodu lost a unanimous decision to him at UFC 263 in June 2021.
Wrestling. 94, his best. He ranks second in UFC featherweight history with 49 takedowns, behind Darren Elkins.
BJJ. 86. None of his ten UFC wins ended in a submission or a stoppage.
Strength. 84. Arnold Allen lost a unanimous decision to him at UFC 297 in Toronto in January 2024.
Durability. 88. Aljamain Sterling lost a unanimous decision to him at UFC 310 in December 2024.
Cardio. 94, matching his wrestling. Diego Lopes lost to him at UFC 288 in Newark in May 2023, a Fight of the Night, after replacing Bryce Mitchell.
Fight IQ. 90. Murphy was beaten on a majority decision in March 2026, although 12 of 17 media scorers had it a draw.
Wrestling and cardio at 94 across ten decisions
Choi, Enrique Barzola, Mike Grundy, Nik Lentz, Dawodu, Ige, Lopes, Allen, Sterling and Murphy all went the distance with him. His win percentage is tied for the highest in UFC history, with Khabib Nurmagomedov, among fighters with 10 or more fights. He is a pick for a build that wins by control.
Kickboxing at 80 and no finishes
He has no UFC stoppage, so a draft that needs one should look elsewhere. Evloev withdrew from a March 2020 card and a November 2022 fight with Mitchell. His fight with Lentz at UFC 257 in January 2021 was a split decision. Pair him with a finisher.
