Tap title to read story
Jose Aldo explained that he would cut featherweight contender Movsar Evloev because the fighter’s style is boring and does not sell. Evloev is undefeated in the UFC with ten decision victories, including a majority decision win over Lerone Murphy in March. Aldo said Evloev is ranked first in the division but would not be given a title fight if he were president. Aldo prefers striking‑oriented fighters like Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway who draw larger audiences. The comments came ahead of UFC 333, where Evloev will face Alexander Volkanovski in Abu Dhabi.
