The management team of Russian star, Movsar Evloev has rejected recent reports their client is set to face potential Octagon signing, Aaron Pico later this year — claiming the unbeaten contender is awaiting the result of this weeekned’s vacant featherweight title fight at UFC 314.
Evloev, the current number four ranked divisional contender, has been out of action since he featured at UFC 310 last December, turning in a unanimous decision win over former bantamweight titleholder, Aljamain Sterling.
With the victory, the former M-1 Global champion turned in his ninth straight win in the Octagon, positioning him for a potential title fight against the victor this weekend’s bout between Alexander Volkanovski, and Diego Lopes.
