Movsar Evloev posted a photo on social media together with Sol Campbell, a prominent footballer from the 2000s. The post shows the UFC featherweight contender alongside the former England and Arsenal defender. No additional context about their meeting or relationship was provided in the post. Campbell was a celebrated defender during his playing career. This appears to be a casual social media post rather than fight-related news.
Movsar Evloev stepped away from fight talk on April 10, sharing a social media photo alongside Sol Campbell, the former England international and Arsenal defender who was one of the most decorated centre-backs of his generation.
Evloev offered no context about how the two met or what brought them together, and the post appeared to be a casual snapshot rather than anything connected to his fighting career.
The Russian featherweight is currently ranked number one in the UFC's 145-pound division, carrying a perfect professional record of 20-0. The 32-year-old, who trains out of American Top Team, has built his unbeaten run on a well-rounded game that combines active grappling — averaging 4.78 takedowns per 15 minutes — with consistent striking output of 3.91 significant strikes per minute at 47 percent accuracy. Standing five-foot-seven with a 72-inch reach, Evloev has established himself as one of the most complete and durable featherweights in the sport.
Campbell, meanwhile, earned widespread recognition during a playing career that spanned the late 1990s and 2000s, most notably with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and he earned more than 70 caps for England. He has remained a public figure in football circles since retiring.
No further details about the nature of the encounter were shared in Evloev's post.
