That isn’t a universal opinion, of course, and many fans and pundits alike feel as if Movsar Evloev has a great chance of beating ‘The Great’ at this point in his career. Some, however, aren’t happy to see Evloev at this point, mainly because he isn’t viewed as an exciting fighter.
In a recent interview, Movsar Evloev made it clear that he doesn’t really care about that.
Movsar Evloev talks about his UFC finish record
“Even if I’m not able to finish him, I will control all the time, and it’s not going to be a boring fight,” Evloev told MMA Junkie of Volkanovski. “People used to say no finish means boring, but I’ve got a lot of fans who love my fights because of wrestling, because of some weird situations. My submission defense is great, and my striking is getting better. Takedowns are good when you understand MMA.
“It’s not just striking where you just strike and you go crazy. You knock him out or he knocks you out, and fans of fighting getting happy by this. I’m not (here) to make them happy. I’m here to be a champion, to be the best in the world, and to make my family happy by my win – not just to show them a good fight, bleeding, hurting people, and maybe win, maybe lose. No, I’m going to win. I’ll do everything needed to win this fight.”
