Movsar Evloev Doesn’t Use a Sauna to Cut Weight, Reveals What He Does Instead

Movsar Evloev has revealed how he makes weight cuts easy even without using a sauna. Evloev is preparing for the biggest fight of his career. The undefeated Russian fighter will be challenging current and two-time UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski later this month in the main event of UFC 333, live from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 24.

Evloev, who is yet to record a finish in the UFC, plans to secure his first stoppage victory against "The Great" at UFC 333.

Recently, during a sit-down with Shakiel Mahjouri, Evloev revealed that he has been following a sugar-free diet for nearly 3 years and plans to break it by eating tiramisu if he dethrones the Aussie at UFC 333. He also explained that maintaining a strict diet helps him during fight week and claimed that, unlike most fighters, he doesn't rely on sauna sessions to cut weight. Here's what he said:

During the same interview, when Movsar Evloev was asked if he thinks about attaining two-division glory in the UFC, the 32-year-old opined that the featherweight division is the "most complete" division currently. Since he has no issues making 145 lbs, he has not thought of a move up to 155 lbs, although Evloev added that there are pretty interesting matchups for him even in the lightweight division.

"Right now, I don't feel that I need to change my division, but of course there's so many interesting fights in lightweight, but for now featherweight division is the most complete division. And like you said, there is so many fighters, good fighters, so you can test yourself."
