At #1 in the featherweight rankings, Movsar Evloev is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
The game is built on grappling: 4.7 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 4 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Lerone Murphy, Decision - Majority. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
