Movsar Evloev Hints at Fight With Volkanovski: I Will Be Champion

Movsar Evloev has made it increasingly clear that his next goal is the UFC featherweight title.

Following his recent run of impressive victories, the undefeated Russian contender posted a short but telling message on social media that immediately caught the attention of MMA fans and fueled speculation about a potential championship showdown with Alexander Volkanovski.

“I’m coming back at the end of the summer. I will be champion, Inshallah,” Evloev wrote.

The statement quickly sparked discussion across the MMA world, with many seeing it as a strong hint that the Russian may be closing in on his first UFC title opportunity.

Evloev remains one of the few unbeaten fighters in the featherweight division and has repeatedly stated that he believes he has earned a shot at the belt. With his elite wrestling, relentless pressure, control, and disciplined style inside the cage, he has steadily established himself as one of the most dangerous contenders at 145 pounds.

Standing opposite him is Alexander Volkanovski — one of the most accomplished featherweight champions in UFC history. The Australian has dominated the division for years and continues to present one of the toughest challenges for any challenger because of his experience, pace, and fight IQ.

The stylistic matchup between the two has already become a major talking point among fans and analysts — a highly technical and battle-tested champion against a hungry, undefeated contender with elite grappling.

The UFC has not officially announced the fight, but Evloev’s latest message suggests his return is near — and a title clash may be closer than ever.
