Movsar Evloev added a signature win to his perfect record on Saturday when he defeated Dan Ige in the UFC Fight Night 207 co-main event.
Evloev (16-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) used a well-rounded attack centered largely around striking to bust up Ige’s (15-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) face over the course of three rounds in the featherweight bout at the UFC Apex. As a result, he left with a unanimous decision win by scores of 30-26, 30-27, 30-27.
Ige opened the fight with punching pressure, but it only took a few minutes for Evloev to get respect as he landed some good punches and a flying knee that staggered his opponent. Evloev controlled Ige in the latter half of the round with waist-lock takedowns, but Ige avoided being held down for too long or caught in any submission positions.
