Michael Chiesa says Jai Silva may get title shot over Movsar Evloev

Michael Chiesa stated he wouldn't be surprised if Jai 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, with issues including staph infections and injuries. He suggested that some of these problems resulted from overtraining and excessive workload, though many were beyond Evloev's control. While Chiesa believes Evloev deserves the title shot, he expressed concerns that the UFC might give it to Silva instead. Chiesa's comments highlight ongoing uncertainty in the featherweight title picture.
