Michael Chiesa questions if Evloev will get title shot due to fight cancellations

Michael Chiesa stated he wouldn't be surprised if Diego Lopes receives a title shot instead of Movsar Evloev, citing Evloev's history of fight cancellations. Chiesa noted that Evloev has been scheduled for over 20 fights but has competed in only about 10 of them. According to Chiesa, Evloev has suffered from staph infections multiple times and various injuries, some beyond his control, though Chiesa suggested many issues stem from overtraining and excessive training loads. While Chiesa believes Evloev deserves the title shot, he expressed concern that the UFC might give the opportunity to Lopes instead.
