Movsar Evloev, man, this guy’s like a cardio machine. Seriously, it’s kinda wild how he’s just relentless. Apparently, he’s into this insane weekly training. Not my cup of tea, but hey, whatever floats your boat, right?
So, this clip from, like, four years ago? Popped up again. Yeah, it’s our buddy Evloev talking up his epic push-up routine. 1500 push-ups, believe it or not. Fast-paced. I get tired just thinking about it.
“I crank it out in an hour,” he spills to Ushatayka. “Got the idea from Kostya Tszyu, you know, the boxer. It started with 1,000 push-ups in a single go. Since I’ve done it a million times, bumped it up to 1500.” That’s not just a workout—it’s an endurance carnival.
“And breaks? Just some jump rope action,” he quips. “One hour, 1500 push-ups, plus being practically besties with the rope.” Imagining that makes me sweat.
People can’t help but respect his dedication, and wow, has it paid off. The guy’s cruising the top of the featherweight division like it’s a lazy river, notching nine consecutive victories. But the knockout or submission? Seems slippery to him—every win’s a decision. Maybe that’s why UFC’s got eyes on flashier people for a shot against Alexander Volkanovski.
So instead of a title, Evloev’s up against Aaron Pico, the ex-Bellator hotshot, in Abu Dhabi on July 26th. Could winning this co-main event punch his ticket to a title bout? It’s all up in the air, really. A finish might just tip the scales in his favor.
