Unbeaten Movsar Evloev confident UFC 297 win over Arnold Allen secured him a featherweight title shot

TORONTO – Movsar Evloev thinks he’s done enough to fight for the UFC featherweight title.

The unbeaten contender picked up another UFC win Saturday when he beat Arnold Allen (19-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) with a unanimous decision on the main card of UFC 297. Evloev (18-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC), now with eight consecutive wins in the division, is confident he’s up next.

“It’s not about finishing somebody or something else,” Evloev said at his UFC 297 post-fight news conference. “I’m 18-0 – that’s no joke. Even if I had no finishes, with 15-0 I beat everybody and everyone knows. Because I’m still undefeated, there’s no way they don’t let me go for the title. (But) if I need to beat somebody else, just give it to me.”
