Coach: Barking like a dog won't earn Jean Silva next title shot vs. Volkanovski
"Jean Silva or whatever his name is, barking like the little dog that he is in the background, trying to make a lot of noise to make himself think he's the next one. But he's not deserving. There are still Aljo and guys above him. He's got to earn his spot. Don't think that because you make a lot of noise, you're going to get it, because you're not."
"If you see what Diego did to him on the ground, he's looking at his corner; this guy is nothing on the ground, just played with him. For somebody who says he's got a high-level ground game, he hasn't got a high-level ground game."
Joe Lopez, coach of Alexander Volkanovski, asserts that Jean Silva is not ready for a title shot. Volkanovski considers Movsar Evloev the top contender after Evloev's recent victory over Lerone Murphy. Silva, known for his knockout power, criticized Evloev's performance but is still vying for a title shot. Lopez dismissed Silva's claims, emphasizing that making noise does not equate to deserving a title opportunity. He also pointed out Silva's weaknesses on the ground, referencing Silva's previous loss to Diego Lopes.
