Evloev emphasized, "Even if the champion moves up, he will leave the title. I will get the title and then I will follow him. Lightweight is not too far for me." His determination to secure the featherweight championship demonstrates his commitment to this goal above all else. He believes capturing the title is crucial to his career, even if that means moving up in weight to chase the current champion afterward.
He stated, "So then I will go after him, even if he goes to middleweight. It doesn't matter. He's not a big guy. I don't need to cut the weight to beat this guy. I need his head on my list." This indicates his fierce determination to face Topuria regardless of weight class, showcasing his willingness to adapt and pursue challenges relentlessly.
Evloev reflected on the current state of the division, saying, "To be honest, it's not easy to even understand what's going on. Because Max said he will not come back to featherweight again. So Ilia's talking that he's moving up, also, especially after my fight. I don't know what's going on. For me, it doesn't matter who will be my next opponent." This candidness underscores the uncertainty and fluidity in the featherweight division.
