Michael Chiesa says Jevon Silva could get title shot due to Evloev's history

Michael Chiesa has suggested that Jevon Silva might receive a featherweight title shot instead of Movsar Evloev due to Evloev's history of fight cancellations. Chiesa noted that Evloev has been scheduled for over 20 fights but has competed in only about 10, citing issues including staph infections and injuries. While acknowledging some factors were beyond Evloev's control, Chiesa attributed many cancellations to overtraining and excessive workload. Despite believing Evloev deserves the title shot, Chiesa said he wouldn't be surprised if the UFC gives it to Silva instead. The comments highlight ongoing concerns about Evloev's availability for high-profile matchups.
