Movsar Evloev Record
Movsar Evloev (20-0-0) looks to finally earn a UFC title shot after defeating Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC Fight Night in London.
The unbeaten Russian is one of the most avoided fighters in the division and faced the Manchester fighter, who was yet to suffer defeat before facing him.
Decision king
Any fighter in the UFC who doesn’t finish fights inside the distance will often be forced to wait for their chance at a title and the same can be said for Movsar Evloev.
An unblemished professional record of 20 wins, the 32-year-old has produced grappling heavy displays in his ten fight UFC run.
All ten have gone to decision, with the Russian edging past Aljamain Sterling last time out at UFC 310 in December 2024.
The American started fast and won the opening round, with Evloev adjusting to win the second; as well as a closely contested third round with some late submission attempts.
Lack of activity
The Sterling fight was Evloev’s second in 2024, also defeating Arnold Allen in January.
The Russian did not fight at all in 2025 due to injury, pulling out of a booked summer fight with Aaron Pico.
Evloev’s activity was low in both 2023 and 2022, with one fight in each calendar year.
2023 saw a Fight of the Night victory over recent title challenger Diego Lopes, in what was the Brazilian’s UFC debut, while in 2022 Evloev defeated Dan Ige over three rounds.
Prior to UFC
Before arriving in the UFC Evloev was a champion in M-1 Global, winning the Undisputed Bantamweight Title in 2017 with a second round head kick knockout of Alexei Nevzorov.
In total Evloev amassed a 10-0 record in the promotion with three knockout and four submission victories.
Fighting style
Evloev brings an elite grappling heavy approach and often looks to tire his opponents with relentless pressure and cardio.
He brings a background as a Master of Sports in Greco-Roman wrestling.
