Undefeated UFC featherweight, Movsar Evloev is set to take on the no.3 ranked UFC featherweight, Arnold Allen, at UFC 297. Evloev has had an incredible run in the UFC, with a 7-0 win streak. However, there is still not much known about the undefeated featherweight.

Movsar Evloev has a fighting style really similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov, not just in terms of their fighting style but also the dominance they both have over their opponents. Many have even speculated that the two might be related. But that doesn’t seem to be the case as neither of them has ever stated that they were. So if the two aren’t related, where is Evloev from?

Movsar Evloev: Nationality, ethnicity and personal life

The Undefeated UFC featherweight was born in Ingushetia, Russia on the 11th of February, 1994. The 29-year-old belongs to the Ingush Tribe Youvloy, which is a minority group in Russia.

The place where Movsar Evloev was born, Ingushetia, is predominantly inhabited by the Muslim community. And given the posts from Evloev’s Instagram handle, we can confirm that the 29-year-old follows Islam.

As for his personal life, Movsar Evloev has four brothers and one sister. He is also the cousin of Olympic gold medalist, and professional Greco-Roman wrestler, Musa Evloev. Movsar Evloev is quite keen on keeping his private affairs out of the public eye, which is one reason why not much is known about the featherweight fighter.

The UFC featherweight has been on a dominant streak after joining the UFC. Here is a list of all the fighters he beat after joining the promotion.

All wins of the undefeated UFC fighter in the UFC

Movsar Evloev’s career inside the octagon has been as spectacular as one could expect. He fought 7 times for the promotion and has won all 7 of them. He joined the promotion on 20th April 2019, against Seung Woo Choi, which he won in a dominating unanimous decision. The other six went just as same. He cruised over his next two opponents Enrique Barzola and Mike Grundy, with unanimous decisions over both fighters.

However, his fourth fight in the promotion against Nik Lentz at UFC 257, posed his greatest challenge as he had to dig deep to pull off a split decision win over Lentz. But, he managed to put on dominating performances in his last three fights against Hakeem Dawodu, Dan Ige, and Diego Lopes, getting unanimous decision wins over all fighters.
