Michael Chiesa says Jean Silva may get title shot due to Evloev's history

Michael Chiesa stated he wouldn't be surprised if Jean Silva receives a title shot because Movsar Evloev's fights often fall through. Chiesa explained that Evloev has been scheduled for more than 20 fights but has only competed in approximately 10, citing staph infections, injuries, and issues sometimes beyond Evloev's control. He suggested some problems result from overtraining and excessive physical demands. While Chiesa believes Evloev deserves the title shot, he acknowledged concerns that the UFC might give the opportunity to Silva instead. The comments reflect ongoing questions about matchmaking in the featherweight division.
