russian fighter Movsar Evloyev said the victory over Brazilian Diego Lopez proved difficult, in part due to the fact that the preparation for the fight took place during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Evloev on Sunday night at the UFC 288 tournament in Newark (USA) beat Lopez by unanimous decision. Initially, the Russian was supposed to fight Bryce Mitchell, but the American pulled out of the fight.

“You know, six weeks to prepare for a fight is enough time for me. After Ramadan, I only had two weeks to prepare for the fight. So I moved a little slow today. A lot of fighters don’t want to fight me. But maybe Brian Ortega or Korean Zombie (Jung Chansung) will agree. Never mind. Maybe someone else. I need big names,” Yevloev Sportkeeda quotes.
In mixed martial arts, Evloev, 29, has won 17 times in 17 fights.
