About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement MovsarEvloev rejects the notion that fans only want bloodyfights. Evloev is scheduled to challenge AlexanderVolkanovski for the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title at UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The Russianchallenger has won all 10 of his UFC bouts by decision but believesfans appreciate his fighting style.
The recent departures of MichaelPage and FaridBasharat have fueled debate about whether winning is enough tosecure a new UFC contract. Neither fighter was re-signed despite awinning streak, though a lack of finishes has not been establishedas the reason for either departure. Evloev believes finishes are not the only measure of a fighter'svalue. He says fans also appreciate tactics, skill andwrestling. "I have zero finishes in UFC, but I'm still in the UFC and I'mfighting for the title," Evloev told MMA Fighting. "That means onlyfinishes are not important. To show a good fight is also important.If you have no finish, you can still show a good fight, an excitingfight; you can show the beauty of wrestling. There are not justfans of MMA who just wait for blood. There are so many good fanswho know MMA, and they understand, and maybe because of them I'mstill in the UFC."
