UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria insists Movsar Evloev is not a worthy title challenger. Evloev (19-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) remained unbeaten when he outgrappled former champ Aljamain Sterling at UFC 310 . While Evloev has certainly amassed a resume that warrants a title shot, Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) thinks his lack of ability to finish fights harms him. Topuria sees red-hot Diego Lopes (26-6 MMA, 5-1 UFC) making more noise than Evloev. “I think Diego deserves it more because Movsar has more fights in the UFC, but he has eight (nine) decisions, five (one) by split decision. Like, man, you need to finish someone,” Topuria told Fox Sports Australia
