According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, the highly anticipated bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev would be perfectly suited for a White House event.
Movsar Evloev recently secured a hard-fought victory over Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC London at the O2 Arena. Despite a close contest, Evloev’s performance earned him the judges’ decision, solidifying his strong claim for a shot at the UFC featherweight championship in his upcoming fight.
Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, known for his willingness to face any challenger, has expressed enthusiasm about defending his title against Evloev.
Rogan envisions this championship clash as a marquee attraction for a potential UFC White House event.
Rogan’s Take on Volkanovski vs Evloev
During his ‘Fight Companion’ podcast, Rogan lauded Evloev’s recent performance. “The Evloev thing was very impressive. The fact that he was able to stand with him was very impressive to me,” Rogan stated, expressing his strong support for the matchup. “I’m into [Volkanovski vs. Evloev]. God, I hope so. I hope they don’t mess him up again. After this? It has to be, or something is terrible in the world. White House lawn, let’s go. Give the man a couple of months off. We’re only in March, it’s in June. Come on, spice that card up, baby.” He also commented on the immense pressure Evloev faces: “The pressure he must be getting to try and finish fights in strikes, and strike with people must be nuts.”
The debate now shifts to whether Movsar Evloev is indeed the rightful next contender for the UFC featherweight championship.
