Movsar Evloev Says Yair Rodriguez, Jean Silva Have To Beat Him to Fight for Title
Briefly

Movsar Evloev, currently on a nine-fight winning streak in the UFC, believes he deserves a shot at the featherweight title. His contention arises after Alexander Volkanovski won the vacant title at UFC 314. Evloev recognizes competitors like Yair Rodriguez and Jean Silva seeking title opportunities but insists they must first defeat him. While he expresses confidence that Volkanovski would agree to fight him, he questions whether the UFC is interested in making that matchup, especially due to his perceived lack of finishes on his record.
I believe if we ask Volkanovski, he will fight me. Because he is real champ. But we don't know if UFC wants it... The only thing they can talk is just that I have no finishes.
If [Yair Rodriguez] wants to fight for the title, you have to beat me first and then you deserve it. Maybe they will give it to [Jean Silva]. But like I said, if you have a contender who deserves it more than I, just let me test him.
