Jean
Silva lately took a dig a Movsar
Evloev for mocking Diego
Lopes.

Topuria lately vacated the featherweight title to maneuver as much as
light-weight. Lopes is now scheduled to battle Alexander
Volkanovski for the vacant title in the principle occasion at UFC
314 on April 12 on the Kaseya Heart in Miami, Florida. This
matchup didn’t go over properly with Movsar
Evloev, who is anticipated to be the subsequent contender at
featherweight. Evloev known as Lopes his “rooster,” predicting
Volkanovski to beat the Brazilian.
“[Alexander Volkanovski] good luck in your subsequent battle,” Evloev
wrote on X. “I do know you’re gonna beat this man. He’s my
rooster.”

Silva, a surging power within the division, hit again at Evloev for his
feedback. “Lord” blamed Evloev’s inactivity for Lopes surpassing
him for the title shot — though he already beat the
Brazilian.
“Brother, you discuss a lot, however the place are your fights? Whilst you’re
sitting round, a man you already beat is about to battle for the
title,” Silva wrote. “Staying undefeated with out motion is simple.
You are simply one other one who talks an excessive amount of and does too
little.”

UFC debut in 2023. Lopes has since racked up 5 consecutive

Dan
Ige, Sodiq
Yusuff and Brian
Ortega in his wake. In the meantime, Evloev has since earned
unanimous determination wins over Arnold
Allen and former bantamweight champ Aljamain
Sterling.
Silva’s rise to stardom has been nothing wanting spectacular
inside a brief time frame. Silva has racked up 4 consecutive
finishes since his UFC debut final yr, even accepting a
light-weight matchup in opposition to Drew Dober on
