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

Michael Chiesa commented that 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 over 20 fights but has only competed in approximately 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 training loads. While Chiesa believes Evloev deserves the title shot, he expressed concern that Silva might receive the opportunity instead.
