I like Evloev a lot. It’s a shame he’s so under appreciated.

[@AXharoth]

he's a humble guy , thats probably why

[@sortakindageese]

Maybe because he’s a decision merchant and all Russian (east) fans know nothing about the sport but talk big.

[@nme_mma]

I agree I'm a huge fan. He's a nice chill dude. I don't care he goes to decision, he's a exciting fighter.

I hate that so many people say this guy is boring. Hes not. I had fun watching his fights with Allen, Nik Lentz, Mike Grundy and a lot of fans are so immature calling him a pedo when the Ingush or other cultures are different. Americans....all talk too much

[@OJ-1Kenobi]

Who calls him a pedo, and why?

@OJ-1Kenobi "mma fans" on instagram and they call him a pedo because he married a 17 yr old woman when Movsar was 23

[@tarci2994]

​@@johnbrownell1he doesnt Belal didn't get one either and he is a champ, its fighting not a clown show.

damn that burst me out laughing

[@033MMAFiend]

Good on Evloev for not taking the bait on “Is Ilia a real Georgian or not?” Very weird line of questioning but I understand where it comes from. We just saw this storyline play-out with DDP vs Adesanya and even though it’s a very spicy storyline we do not need to see it again.

[@ILoveGaza77]

The disrespect from the UFC to these fighters is shameful 😤 movsar and aljo should be main card fighters.

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

im not saying movsar beats ilia but he is the toughest test for him at 145.

[@filleti1027]

the division has many prospects that can make a tough fight for ilia, diego lopez, movsar, jean silva, actually the division is pretty well served with great fighters

[@vincentw3566]

Test? Ilia has already been tested and he passed with flying colors, Aljo is a good test for Movsar since he actually robbed Arnold Allen and hasnt finished anyone in the UFC

[@EasaNazam]

​@@vincentw3566mosvar looks different

[@wildberry752]

Nah Lopes is a tougher test because Mosvar has no KO power and his wrestling is kinda mid and he has zero submission game

[@HuevosMMA]

Diego lopes took a UFC debut against movsar on less than a weeks notice and arguably won that fight, and had movsar in tons of trouble throughout the fight.

[@DonTrump2024]

I really don’t understand the hate on Mosvar I understand he doesn’t finish but he’s pretty. Fun to watch and at times pretty dominant yah HES a grappler but go watch his Allen fight this man has really good striking and he’s not scared to scrap …
