Movsar Evloev thinks UFC 310 card placement actually a good thing: ‘People are confused’

LAS VEGAS – Movsar Evloev appreciates his fans but thinks the criticism of his UFC 310 card placement is a bit silly.

Saturday, Evloev (18-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) takes on Aljamain Sterling (24-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena, in a bout many thought could solidify a featherweight title challenger. That’s why many fans were surprised to see it on the prelims, below two un-ranked matchups in the same division.

“I think we’re on prelims because of (Sterling), but I don’t care. Same money. Nobody cares,” Evloev told MMA Junkie and other reporters Wednesday. “Maybe it’s even better to stay on the prelims on this card because more people will watch our fight. … Another time that people will be able to figure out who is the next contender for the belt.”
