Volkanovski Says He Will Stop Evloev

Alexander Volkanovski says he can score his first finish since 2023 when he defends his UFC featherweight title against Movsar Evloev on October 24, headlining UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi.

It is Evloev’s first title shot, earned with wins over Aljamain Sterling and Lerone Murphy: “I’m very confident in my skills and the fighter I still am. I think I get my hand raised, and I think I can do it in pretty wild fashion. I believe I can get a finish. I think I can do it inside the five. He’s saying maybe he wants to win the decision.

“I’m saying I’ll finish him inside the five rounds for sure. Great opponent. Great skill. I just really think I’m going to perform, and it’s going to be one of my best performances. A lot of people are going to go say after this fight, ‘Is that the best Volk we’ve ever seen?’ I truly do believe that, I think just purely for the performance I’m going to bring,” Volkanovski.
