UFC featherweight contender Movsar Evloev is eager for a shot at the title or to face the UFC's top contender following Alexander Volkanovski's recent win at UFC 314 in Miami. Despite his campaign for a title shot, Evloev has yet to secure one and is now eyeing a chance to compete for the championship. However, Yair Rodriguez's interest in the title could pose a challenge to Evloev's aspirations.

Evloev emphasized that Rodriguez must defeat him first before earning a title shot, citing Rodriguez's previous missed opportunities. Evloev is prepared for a championship fight whenever necessary and is willing to wait if Volkanovski requires more time before defending the title. While Evloev is open to a potential fight in the coming months, he is not willing to delay his career indefinitely for a title opportunity.
