Evloev's Title Shot at UFC 333

Movsar Evloev is set to challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the UFC featherweight title at UFC 333 on October 24. This matchup marks Evloev's first title opportunity after achieving ten consecutive victories in the UFC, all by decision.

Need for a Finish

Featherweight contender Aaron Pico believes Evloev must secure a finish to have a chance against Volkanovski. Pico pointed out that holding Volkanovski down is challenging, citing a previous fight where Islam struggled to maintain control over him. Pico emphasized that Evloev needs to either knock out or submit Volkanovski to win the fight.

Evloev's Background

Before joining the UFC in 2019, Evloev was a champion in M-1 Global, where he successfully defended his bantamweight title twice in 2018, achieving one win by submission and another by knockout. However, he has not recorded a finish in the UFC since his last fight in 2018.

Evloev is focused on achieving his first finish in the UFC during this championship bout, which would enhance his credentials against a fighter widely regarded as one of the greatest in the featherweight division.
