Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> rejects the notion that fans only want bloody
\nfights.<\/p>\n

Evloev is scheduled to challenge Alexander
\nVolkanovski<\/a> for the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> featherweight title at
\nUFC 333<\/a> on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The Russian
\nchallenger has won all 10 of his UFC bouts by decision but believes
\nfans appreciate his fighting style.<\/p>\n

Movsar Evloev argues wrestling can entertain UFC fans ahead of
\nVolkanovski title fight<\/h2>\n

The recent departures of Michael
\nPage<\/a> and Farid
\nBasharat<\/a> have fueled debate about whether winning is enough to
\nsecure a new UFC contract. Neither fighter was re-signed despite a
\nwinning streak, though a lack of finishes has not been established
\nas the reason for either departure.<\/p>\n

Evloev believes finishes are not the only measure of a fighter\u2019s
\nvalue. He says fans also appreciate tactics, skill and
\nwrestling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have zero finishes in UFC, but I\u2019m still in the UFC and I\u2019m
\nfighting for the title,\u201d Evloev told MMA Fighting. \u201cThat means only
\nfinishes are not important. To show a good fight is also important.
\nIf you have no finish, you can still show a good fight, an exciting
\nfight; you can show the beauty of wrestling. There are not just
\nfans of MMA who just wait for blood. There are so many good fans
\nwho know MMA, and they understand, and maybe because of them I\u2019m
\nstill in the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n

#UFC333’s Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> credits fans with his being in the UFC despite having
\nzero finishes: “There is not just fans of MMA who just wait for
\nblood. There are so many good fans who know MMA, and they
\nunderstand, and maybe because of them I\u2019m still in the UFC.” (\ud83c\udfa5
