Russian mixed martial arts fighter Movsar Evloev on , he explained why the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White spoke unflatteringly about his recent fight.
Earlier, Evloev, on , responded to criticism from White, who called the Russian’s victorious fight with Briton Arnold Allen at UFC 297 “not the most entertaining.” Evloev admitted that he was offended and very upset.
The featherweight fight, which took place on January 20, lasted all three rounds and ended with Evloev’s victory by unanimous decision.
— Do the ratings not reflect reality?
– Yes. Someone can move up in the rankings because someone else fought. Or someone will fight for the belt, closer to the fight he will be elevated in the photo rankings.
— When will your new fights take place?
“Now I am already number five in the rankings and I have a good chance to fight for the title in the next fight. I believe it. I’m already close to the title. Dana understands that he will have to pay me a lot of money for this. Apparently he wanted to spoil my appetite with this statement.
But I have no doubt that I am one of the main contenders for the belt. It will be necessary to wait. Next month there will be two fights in my weight category. Everyone is busy. You have to wait for someone who will be available soon. “I’m ready in 2-3 months,” Evloev said on .
In mixed martial arts, 29-year-old Evloev has won 18 victories and has not suffered a single defeat.
