On the evening of June 18, UFC President Dana White officially announced two notable matches of UFC ON ABC 9 at Abu Dhabi, UAE.
In addition to the focal confrontation between the former medium champion Robert Whittaker and the former one -class One Championship – Reinier de Ridder, the audience is also particularly interested in the debut of Talent Aaron Pico in the encounter with the 4 -feather -class candidate – Movsar Evloev. The competition will be held in 5 rounds.
The match between the two was revealed that will take place in May, but later it was back on July 26. Not only that, this pair also left many questions for the audience.
In the announced video, Dana White mentioned an important point: “If Movsar can win, he may be the next opponent to challenge the title of Alexander Volkanovski.”
Movsar Evlev has faced the names in the top group such as Arnold Allen or Aljamain Sterling in the past matches. That is not to mention he has defeated the Diego Lopes belt candidate in the opponent's debut match at UFC.
With 19 wins (9 at UFC) and the 4th position, Movsar Evlev could refuse this match to wait for the stretching capacity. However, Russian boxers have affirmed “Will fight until UFC feels like you deserve the belt.” This may be the reason why he decided to receive such a risky match.
Overview of the current hair rankings, Movsar Evloev is the one who deserves the most compete when Max Holloway, Ilia Topuria has risen, Diego Lopes has just lost the battle at UFC 314. The rematch between the defending champion Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez (#5) also does not excited when the audience is excited when Rodriguez has failed to fail with the scenario of one -sided scenario UFC 290.
The reason why UFC is still suspicious of giving EVLOEV opportunities, probably due to Wrestling, controlled by his objective situations is not really popular with the audience. Even though the Wrestling class of Evlev is no need to argue when using it to disable many different types of competitors.
On the opposite side, Aaron Pico is one of the boxers who debuted with the highest ranking opponent in UFC for many years. Compared to Patricio Freire – the former championship from Bellator has just launched in UFC 314 with the top 4 of Yair Rodriguez hairs, the favor for Pico is even bigger than that.
Pico's skill is also something that makes the audience believe that this match has many risks with Evlev. American boxers possess extremely powerful and speed hand, along with the foundation of a wrestler who played at an international level.
