If Volkanovski wins in UFC 298, Evloev is the next.
If Topuria wins it is very likely that Holloway will have a title shot based on the fact that his only losses in the current division have been against Volkanovski.

Judges went with striking output over grappling the whole night in their decisions and people are acting like it's reasonable to offer Allen at +700-+900 ranges leading up to the end of that fight lol.

Does evloivev even know they’re fighting? I’m positive they just tell him he can sniff as much nuts as he wants, when he gets in the cage

EXACTLY, he didn’t even control him either, Allen got up as soon as his knees hit the mat, only time he was on the bottom when he try to choke him. he fought beautifully, should have got the nod. It is what it is
