The fight for the title shot of the UFC featherweight division is very hot. With Alexander Volkanovski the "King" again as the UFC featherweight champion, many athletes are looking forward to taking the helm. Mobsar Evloyev, who has recorded 19 wins in MMA and 9 wins in UFC, has emerged as the likely candidate. Evloyev is drawing attention as he made confident remarks.
In an interview with "MMA Junkie" on Monday (Korea time), Ebloev mentioned his title shot at the UFC featherweight division. "I believe Volkanovski will fight me. He is a real champion. But I don't know if the UFC wants me to have a showdown with Volkanovski."
"For Yair Rodriguez to play against Volkanovski, he has to beat me first. If he beats me, he will qualify," he said. "But I think Jean Silva has to beat me as well. To be more qualified (to win title shots) than I am, he can beat me. If there is a new competitor, he can let me test him." 안전놀이터
As Ebloev said, the next UFC featherweight challenger has not been decided yet. Volkanovski's first defense opponent fell into the fog. Evloyev is one of the strong candidates. Yair and Zeang Silva, who he mentioned, are also fighters. For now, Ebloyev and Zeang Silva, who beat Bryce Mitchell in UFC 314, can't be ignored, either.
The will of Volkanovski has become important. After finishing UFC 314, Volkanovski admitted that Ebloev and Yair can be the primary defense players. However, he did not express his intention to fight with anyone. Zoe Lopez, Volkanovski's coach, also evaluated Jeang Silva as a future rival.
Meanwhile, Volkanovski defeated Diego López at UFC 314 at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on Tuesday. Based on his batting advantage, he took the lead and secured a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) by judges in the fifth round. He regained his featherweight title in about a year and two months after losing to Ilya Topuria at UFC 298 in February last year.
