"His Kimura is very good," the member of Evloev's team stated.
"I think he’ll put more emphasis on the Kimura”.
He added: “He has three signature techniques; that’s one of them. There’s the arm-triangle, the kimura, and a third choke we’ve worked on the most. I won’t reveal it. I think he’ll try it. It’s a choke, but I won’t reveal the position.”
As expected, Volkanovski is confident of getting the job done against as he will predicted he will "finish him inside the five rounds for sure";
Movsar Evloev is hoping to erase shocking UFC record
Evloev is undefeated in MMA but every single one of his bouts in UFC has been a decision victory. He is yet to secure a finish inside the Octagon and has extra incentive for Saturday night's slugfest.
Though dominant, his style has not been easy on the eye and there are plenty of people who do not enjoy his body of work.
In fact, Jose Aldo, the longest-reigning champion in the division, has been extremely critical of Evloev and called for UFC to release him when he loses for the first time as he finds him "boring".

Speaking to MMA Fighting, he said: “It’s a business, it’s entertainment. It’s not a matter of, ‘I’m number one, so I have to fight for the title.’ No. Evloev is ranked No. 1 in the division, if I’m not mistaken, and if I were the president, I’d never put him in there. He could beat everybody.
"I’d wait for him to lose for the first time and then cut him because he’s a guy who doesn’t sell, a guy who puts on boring fights, a guy who doesn’t draw attention, who just stays inactive. So why would I give him that opportunity? I want to sell out my arena. I want my event to grow. There’s a lot involved.”
If Evloev does win the belt without a stoppage, he will become the first men's champion in UFC history to have never secured a finish within Dana White's promotion.
