Evloev's Comments Draw Fire Amid Title Run
The undefeated Russian has stayed quiet on his reasoning, but the timing raises eyebrows as the UFC continues building women's cards. Former bantamweight contender Aspen Ladd recently criticised the promotion's treatment of female athletes, saying the company shows "not much care" for that side of the roster.
Evloev brings a 19-0 record into UFC 333, where he looks to claim featherweight gold. The card takes place in late August with the weigh-ins scheduled for the day prior.
