Movsar Evloev Wants Title Fight Against Alexander Volkanovski in June

Movsar Evloev is making his case for the next UFC featherweight title shot.

Evloev has long been one of the most deserving contenders at 145 pounds, although the title shot has evaded him so far. Meanwhile, Alexander Volkanovksi won the vacant title at UFC 314 last weekend with a unanimous decision win over Diego Lopes, an opponent Evloev has already beaten. Evloev believes he is now undeniable for the next title shot at 145 pounds.

“I beat Diego Lopes, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen, Dan Ige. No one has a better resume than me in 145 pounds except for the champion,” Evloev wrote. “I have the longest winning streak in the featherweight division. Me vs [Alexander Volkanovski] end of June [International Fight Week]”

While Evloev is criticized for a lack of finishes, the 31-year-old has repeatedly proven himself against elite competition. Meanwhile, Volkanovski bounced back from consecutive knockout losses with his win over Lopes. The Australian plans on staying active and is open to fighting Evloev this summer. However, Volkanovski wants the UFC to call the shots and hasn’t ruled out fighting Yair Rodriguez, who foiled Particio “Pitbull” Freire’s UFC debut last weekend.
