Movsar Evloev already conceded that he wasn’t getting a title shot after revealing that he had accepted a fight at UFC Abu Dhabi but even one more win doesn’t necessarily guarantee him receiving an opportunity to become champion.

Evloev remains unbeaten in his pro career, including his first nine in the UFC – all of which have been decisions. Those wins have come against increasingly stiff competition, including Arnold Allen in early 2024 and former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling late this past year.
