On January 23 in Abu Dhabi, ex-M-1 Challenge champion Movsar Eevloev will hold his fourth fight in the UFC. The Russian fighter, whose military nickname is "Fearless", does not know defeats in the Octagon and every time in practice proves that the former Head of the Republic of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and many experts and journalists from the MMA world have not in vain compared him with by Fedor Emelianenko himself.
And today we will watch one of the early fights of the young Movsar, which he played on December 9, 2017 in Nazran at the M-1 Challenge 73 tournament. His rival was the most experienced American fighter Lee Morrison, nicknamed "American Bulldog" at that time was equal to 5 wins in 5 battles.
Throughout his career in M-1 Global, former Cage Sport champion Lee Morrison, nicknamed "American Bulldog", fought only with the strongest fighters of the promotion, fought for the champion belt with Marat Gafurov, defeated such famous masters as Mikhail Malyutin and Pavel Vitruk. He spent almost three years in the M-1 rage and the fight against the Russian prospect was a new chance for him for a title race.
As for Movsar Evloev, with each fight, success after success, he forged his career in the M-1 Challenge raid. And the victory over such a hardened and well-deserved opponent like Lee Morrison should have been the last step on the way to the fight for the title of champion of the organization. Movsar performed in front of his native audience and he did not consider any other option except victory, but at the same time he and his team were fully aware of how dangerous his opponent could be.
