Current UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski in an interview with he explained why the organization should not collect undefeated fighters Movsara Evloyeva And Ilya Topuria in a head-to-head match.
At the moment, Spanish fighter with Georgian roots Topuria is fifth in the featherweight division, Russian Evloev is in 10th place. Both fighters remain undefeated in their professional careers and could have fought in one of the UFC tournaments. The fight was canceled due to Evloev’s health issues. Both athletes do not hide the fact that there is a personal dislike between them.
– In your division there are two bright undefeated fighters, many of whom are waiting for a full-time duel: Movsar Evloev and Ilya Topuria. How do you think their confrontation will end and who will meet you first?
– I think Movsar has shown that he is a more developed fighter, he has a good fight. Although Elijah showed he had a great position. It would be an interesting fun duel, but the undefeated contenders are best not brought together. It is better to let them join me and I will have more candidates who have not had defeats, Volkanovski told .
Volkanovski (25 wins, 2 losses) has held the featherweight belt since 2019 with four successful title defenses.
