Jorge masvidal He didn't mince words when commenting on the situation. Movsar Evloev In the race for the UFC featherweight title (up to 65,7 kg), the American came to the Russian's defense and harshly criticized the possibility of the undefeated athlete not being the next challenger for the title, increasing the debate about the organization's criteria.

Masvidal's statement comes amid uncertainty about who he will face. Alexander Volkanovsky In the next title fight, Evloev appears as the main contender, occupying the first position in the ranking and boasting a perfect record with 20 wins. Despite this, the UFC's decision is not yet final, which opens up space for other possibilities within the division, and this, in the opinion of the former fighter, is not right.

Inside the octagon, Evloev continues to do his part. The Russian is coming off an important victory over... Lerone murphy, won in March, in UFC London, at the opponent's home, by majority decision.

Who will be Alexander Volkanovski's next opponent?

Among the names being considered, in addition to Evloev, there is also... Jean Silva, which, despite occupying a lower position in the ranking, has been gaining strength behind the scenes and is pleasing the organization.

Still, not even the Russian's impeccable track record or the Brazilian's good relationship automatically guarantee a title shot, as UFC president Dana White has already indicated, keeping the next step for the division a secret.
