‘Next Champ’ Movsar Evloev Wants Opponents with ‘Good Names’ After Latest Victory

Movsar Evloev was in complete control throughout his unanimous decision triumph over Dan Ige in the UFC Fight Night 207 co-main event, and he believes he made a statement with his performance.

“I think this performance today tells a lot about me,” Evloev said at the post-fight press conference. I’m a real, top fighter and next champ. MMA fans like this with a lot of blood and a lot of punching. It’s good when you finish early, but sometimes it’s good when you fight very hard for three rounds.”
