Alexander Volkanovski’s stated preference for Movsar Evloev as his next featherweight title opponent, combined with Evloev’s recent majority-decision victory over Lerone Murphy at UFC London, has driven overwhelming trader consensus toward the undefeated Russian contender. Volkanovski, who defended against Diego Lopes in February, has publicly highlighted Evloev and Murphy as the most deserving while targeting an August or September return. Evloev’s elite wrestling and undefeated record position him as the clear frontrunner in the division’s current landscape. Although the market implies strong probability for this matchup, developments such as an injury, a shift in UFC matchmaking priorities, or standout performances from Jean Silva or Aljamain Sterling could still alter the timeline or opponent selection.
