Movsar Evloev says he deserves to fight for the featherweight category championship belt more than Alexander Volkanovski, the Russian believes the former champion’s time is up.

Movsar Evloev has been undefeated for ten years. The 30-year-old fighter from Ingushetia holds a perfect series of eighteen wins in a row. The American Top Team representative believes that eight wins in the UFC qualify him to fight for the featherweight division championship belt.

Evloev will return to the UFC octagon this Saturday, December 7. At UFC 310 Movsar will fight Aljamain Sterling, former champion of the cockerel category. Evloev believes in his victory and believes that he deserves a chance to fight Ilia Topuria for the championship title of the up to 66 kilogram category.

– I don’t think it would be a good idea for Ilia to fight Alex Volkanovski again. Volkanovski is a legend, but his time has passed. So is Max Holloway. These were great top fighters for many years however now there is fresh blood in this division, there are younger fighters. So let me prove that I am the champion.

Movsar Evloev realizes that he has had to wait a very long time to return to the octagon. First, he himself had a slight injury, and then his bout with Aljamain Sterling was moved from UFC 308 to UFC 310. Nevertheless, the Russian is ready to make concessions, and after his planned win against the American, he is ready to fight another bout before he gets the chance to fight the champion from Georgia.

– I have been waiting for a fight for a year. Therefore, if they don’t want me to fight for the belt, I just ask that they arrange another fight for me in two months. I’m 30 years old and I want to fight often, and lately I haven’t had the opportunity to do so. Time is running out for me, that’s why if I beat Sterling and the UFC wants me to fight Diego Lopes, Alexander Volkanovski or Max Holloway I’ll take the fight.

Movsar Evloev also addressed the fact that his skirmish with Aljo was not on the main fight card of the UFC 310 gala in Las Vegas.

– I think we are in the preliminary card for the sake of his name. It doesn’t make any difference to me because it’s the same money for me, we will also fight three rounds, the opponent is the same. It won’t be a boring fight because we both have great wrestling. Some people are surprised that we are fighting in the prelims, but maybe this way more people will see our fight because they won’t have to pay for access to the gala. My fans are always with me, my people make no difference. I know I can count on their support.
