WRESTLING

Wrestling & Grappling

Wrestling is the foundation of Evloev’s fighting style. With a strong Greco-Roman background, he excels at chain wrestling — linking multiple takedown attempts together until the opponent eventually collapses under pressure. His grappling emphasizes positional dominance and cage control rather than explosive single attempts.

  • Cage control
    Traps opponents against the fence and systematically removes their balance.
  • Relentless pace
    Capable of 10–15 takedowns per fight while maintaining a high work rate.
  • Grip control
    Once he locks onto an opponent, he is extremely difficult to disengage from.
Signature Trait: Relentless chain wrestling and cage dominance — he turns constant pressure into positional control, exhausting opponents and dictating the pace.
BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Evloev’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is primarily positional rather than submission-focused. His grappling on the ground emphasizes control, pressure, and gradual damage rather than risky submission attempts. His wrestling base allows him to maintain top position and neutralize most submission threats.
  • Positional advancement
    Focuses on guard passing and maintaining dominant positions such as mount or back control.
  • Ground-and-pound
    Prefers steady damage from top position rather than risking position for submissions.
  • Submission defense
    Strong base and awareness make him extremely difficult to catch with chokes or joint locks.
  • Scramble control
    Quickly stabilizes positions when opponents attempt sweeps or reversals.
Signature Trait: Positional control on the ground — he uses his wrestling foundation to dominate opponents safely, making it extremely difficult to finish him on the mat.
