Movsar Evloev faces Bellator MMA veteran Aaron Pico in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi.

UFC CEO Dana White says Evloev will most likely get a UFC Featherweight Title shot if he gets past Pico.

“If Movsar can get the victory, he will likely be the next contender for the title against Alexander Volkanovski,” White said in a video posted on X (transcript via Damon Martin of MMA Fighting). “Expect this fight to be an absolute war.”

Evloev is currently sitting at the #4 spot in the UFC Featherweight Division Rankings and he is undefeated as a professional MMA fighter, holding a record of 19-0-0.
