Before signing a contract with the UFC, Evloev was the former Bantamweight champion of M-1 Global[3]; although, now Evloev currently fights a weight class up - at Featherweight.
Early Life
Evloev was born into a family of four brothers and one sister - one of which being Selem Evloev, who also is an MMA fighter in M-1 Global. Movsar studied the specialties of programming and jurisprudence in higher education.

In 2013, Movsar would take up Mixed Martial Arts where he would start a career in.
Mixed Martial Arts career
M-1 Global
Prior to entering the UFC, Movsar spent all his time in M-1 global, where he would have a successful run and earn a title shot at Bantamweight championship. On April 22nd, 2017, Evloev would face Alexei Nevzorov in Nalchik, Kabardino-Balkaria for the M-1 Global Interim Bantamweight championship[4], where he would knock Nevzorov out in the second round by head-kick. Which gave Evloev the chance to fight for the unified belt.
Evloev would then face Pavel Vitruk near his republic's capital city of Nazran], in Targim[5]. Evloev would successfully unify the belts and become the unified Bantamweight champion, after using successful implementation of well-executed takedowns, control and strikes, Evloev was crowned the new champion with a unanimous decision win.
Following his big win, Evloev's first title defense would be held in February 2018, in Moscow, against Sergey Morozov which he would again achieve victory; however, this time, by finish. He would finish Morozov without much trouble; securing a rear-naked choke in round three.
In Evloev's second title defense, he would, again, fight near Nazran; however, it would be against Brazilian opponent, Rafael Dias. The fight would be a hard-fought and competitive battle - with Evloev winning - although, in the fifth round, Evloev would knock Dias out with a hard right hand. Evloev then followed Dias down to throw a few more punches and secure the stoppage victory.
This would push Evloev's professional MMA record to 10-0, Movsar would then vacate the M-1 Global Bantamweight title and sign with the UFC[6]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
In April 2019, Evloev would fight opposite fellow debutante Seung Woo Choi at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik in St. Petersburg[7], in the UFC's second event in Russia. After a fairly competitive fight, Evloev would win a clear decision; albeit, suffering a point deduction - Evloev would still win a wide decision largely based on dominating takedown ability and solid striking[8]
In his second UFC appearance, Evloev would face the experienced, Enrique Barzola at UFC on ESPN+ 20 held in Singapore. After a close three rounds, Evloev would edge the fight by a 29-28 score, winning two rounds; both fighters showed solid striking and grappling exchanges throughout the fifteen minutes[9].
After a series of cancellations, Evloev returned to the octagon on July 26, 2020, Evloev is rescheduled to fight fellow prospect, Mike Grundy at UFC on ESPN: Whittaker vs. Till[10] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[11]
