Movsar Evloev’s Rise to the Top
Movsar Evloev, an undefeated fighter with a record of 19-0, has been making waves in the UFC. Despite his impressive record, his lack of finishes in his nine UFC victories has hindered his progress. However, his recent win against Sterling has put him back in contention for the featherweight title, currently held by Ilia Topuria.
A Confident Challenger
Evloev has expressed his confidence in his abilities, stating that he wants to fight before Ramadan. Although there is no news on his next opponent, he continues to send messages to Topuria, making it clear that he is ready for a challenge.
A Message to Topuria
In a recent interview with ‘MMA Fighting’, Evloev declared, “I don’t know what’s going on. For me, it doesn’t matter who my next opponent will be. Even if he moves up a category, I will win the belt first because this is my first goal. So I’ll go after him, even if he moves up to middleweight. It doesn’t matter. He’s not a big guy. I don’t need to lose weight to beat this guy. I need your head on my list.”

Topuria’s Future Plans
Evloev believes that Topuria will not move up to lightweight, but instead will defend his belt soon. “The belt comes first, but I don’t think he’ll give up the title. He’s not going to go up to lightweight. He’ll defend his belt soon, I don’t know when, but we’ll see.”

The Road to the Title
With Topuria’s future plans uncertain, the road to the title is still open for Evloev. A potential fight between Diego Lopes and Evloev could be on the horizon, with the winner becoming a top contender for the UFC featherweight belt.
