Bilal
Hasan is unburdened by his perfect record.

Hasan (10-0) is rapidly rising to stardom less than a week after
making his
Ultimate Fighting Championship debut. He earned his UFC
contract with a 45-second knockout win on
Dana White's Contender Series less than three weeks prior.

Bilal Hasan explains why protecting his 10-0 record doesn’t
consume him

Hasan says he isn't concerned about losing his perfect record.
While many undefeated prospects are devastated after their first
loss, Hasan says he is used to losing in the gym. He claims he
loves the sport as it gives him space for endless growth and is
excited to be a student and keep learning forever.

“Not at all, man. I lose every day in the gym, and it's cool,â€
Hasan told Bedtime MMA. “I love that, man; that's how it should be.
The No. 1 thing I love about martial arts, and I know you train as
well, is the learning, man. The constant being a student, being a
sponge, it's so cool. There's so much for me to develop, and that's
what excites me truly.â€

Hasan has finished nine of his 10 career wins so far. Apart from
his electrifying performances inside the cage, Hasan's slick dance
moves and affability on the mic have further boosted his
stardom.

Fares
Ziam plans to move to the United States to develop his
game.

Ziam is scheduled to fight fellow Frenchman Alex Sola in the
co-main event of the
Ultimate Fighting Championship's event in France on Sept. 5. He
did most of his camp in Denver under Justin
Gaethje's head coach, Trevor Wittman, and eventually wants to
move stateside.

UFC career

Ziam says that while he didn't previously have a head coach, he
believes he needs one at the highest level. He eventually plans to
move with his family to Denver to train under Wittman, whom he
considers the best head coach for himself.

“My plan is to move with my family to the U.S. to be in Denver,â€
Ziam told MMA Junkie. “Two to three years in Denver and forget. For
me, it's important to evolve in this game, to be focused. Before, I
didn't get any head coach; I had a team around me. But at this
level, we need a head coach, a guy who is looking out for you. For
me, Trevor is the best for me.â€

Ziam first met Wittman while helping Gaethje as a sparring partner
for his win over Paddy
Pimblett earlier this year. When he asked their common manager,
Ali Abdelaziz, about training with Gaethje, Abdelaziz said that
Wittman doesn't accept everybody. However, Wittman accepted Ziam as
he liked what he saw during Gaethje's camp for the Pimblett
fight.

“I asked my manager, Ali, ‘What do you think if I go train with
Justin?' He said, ‘It's a very good idea, but Trevor doesn't take
just anyone,'†Ziam added. “But after me and him had a good
feeling, he said I am a good person. Because he saw something in
me, he took me in this gym.â€

Ziam looks to return to winning ways at
UFC Paris.

Movsar
Evloev is unimpressed with women's mixed martial arts.

Evloev recently revealed that he finds it hard to watch women's
MMA. The
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight claims to have
only ever enjoyed one women's MMA bout and is curious about the
viewership numbers an all-women promotion would garner.

UFC 333 title challenger Movsar Evloev questions the appeal of
women's MMA

Evloev was impressed with Rose
Namajunas' title defense against Joanna
Jedrzejczyk in their rematch at UFC
223 in 2018. However, every other bout is a challenging viewing
experience, according to the unbeaten Russian. He jokes that the
UFC should start a separate league for women's MMA and check its
viewership.

“I don't watch women's fights,†Evloev told MMA Junkie. “I can't
watch; it's so hard. One fight I watched and liked was [Joanna]
Jedrzejczyk and [Rose] Namajunas, the second one… I don't watch a
lot of fights, but all the fights I watched of women weren't good.
Maybe they need a separate UFC just for women. And we will see who
watches that.â€

Many elite male fighters have criticized women's MMA over the
years. Khabib
Nurmagomedov has said that women don't belong in the brutal
sport, barring some exceptional few like the legendary Amanda
Nunes and Valentina
Shevchenko. Meanwhile, Sean
Strickland, who doesn't like women's sports in general,
believes an average man can beat Nunes.

Evloev (20-0) has finally earned his long-overdue featherweight
title shot against Alexander
Volkanovski (28-4). He challenges Volkanovski for the title at

UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
While Evloev criticizes women's MMA because of inaction, he has
also drawn backlash for the lack of a finish in his UFC career.
