Movsar Evloev is a rising star in the UFC. The undefeated Russian has made waves in the featherweight division, being ranked #5 in only eight fights in the promotion. In addition, the 30-year-old has a championship pedigree, having won the M-1 Global bantamweight title previously. So we can clearly see that he is a successful man. And behind every successful man, there is a woman. So does he have a wife or a girlfriend?
Well, the answer is yes. As Evloev revealed some time ago he is indeed happily married. However, this revelation also brought major controversy after he revealed how he met his wife in a livestream. As he sets up to face Aljamain Sterling, at UFC 310 on December 7th live From T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas, Nevada, let us find out more about his wife and the surrounding controversy.
How did Movsar Evloev meet his wife? Do they have kids together?
Little is known about Movsar Evloev since he prefers to keep his personal life private. As a result, there were speculations about his relationship status. However, putting an end to all the guesswork on the subject, Movsar confirmed in an interview with streamer Sneako that he is, in fact, married and has four kids with his wife. Sneako streams on Rumble and regularly makes content about relationship advice and dating. In his stream with Movsar, the Russian gave him some controversial advice on relationship and marriage. He revealed that he got married to his wife when she was 17 and he was 23.

The featherweight claimed that he decided to marry his wife after meeting her only once after only two weeks. This, of course, did not go down well with fans who accused him of having groomed his now 23-year-old wife. However, Evloev will probably not be paying attention to this criticism right now as he is less than a day away from the most important fight of his career so far.
