The Russian is making his debut on the UFC Fight Night 149 – Overeem vs. Oleynik card against Seung Woo Choi, whom he took down five times during the fight.

Nate ‘The Train’ Landwehr also joined the UFC from the M-1 promotion. The American made his debut on the UFC Fight Night 166 – Blaydes vs. dos Santos at the start of 2020. However, he would not enjoy the most favorable debut as he lost to Herbert Burns in the first round due to a vicious knee from Burns. He then fought again this year, this time on the UFC on ESPN 8 – Overeem vs. Harris against Darren Elkins.

Landwehr had a triumphant performance as he earned a unanimous decision in a great battle.

Evloev (13-0) is currently unbeaten in his career. The Russian is a perfect 3-0 since arriving at the UFC level, dominating his opponents to earn unanimous decisions.

Landwehr (14-3), is two inches taller than Evloev, and primarily focuses on his punching. Expect Landwehr to come out swinging and give the Russian everything he has, but ultimately it may not be enough. While Landwehr does have a well-rounded game with decent takedown defense, Evloev’s wrestling is on a different level.
