Michael Chiesa suggests Movsar Evloev's fight cancellations could cost him title shot

Michael Chiesa stated he wouldn't be surprised if Jean Silva receives a title shot instead of Movsar Evloev, citing Evloev's history of fight cancellations. Chiesa noted that Evloev has been scheduled for approximately 20 fights but has only competed in about 10 of them. According to Chiesa, Evloev has dealt with staph infections and injuries, some beyond his control, but many resulting from overtraining and excessive workload. Despite believing Evloev deserves the title shot, Chiesa expressed concern that Silva might receive the opportunity instead.
