Rising featherweight star Jean Silva reprimanded Movsar Evloev for mocking his former rival for UFC 314.
Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes will fight for the title of the Veder-Federgegege in the UFC 314 event in April. Ilia Topuria, after switching off Max Holloway in October, will leave the belt for a full -time move to the lightweight division.
The rapid climb of Lopes to the title comes after recent victories over Brian Ortega, Dan Ige and Sodiq Yusuff. His UFC debut came in the short term against Movsar Evloev on UFC 288, lost due to unanimous decision, but gave Evloev one of his most difficult tests.
Evloev, who recently defeated Aljamain Sterling on UFC 310, is probably the next one for the winner of Volkanovski versus Lopes. The undefeated Russian Juggernaut was not ready to compete at UFC 314 and mocked Lopes as a 'chicken' after the news from the main event broke.
Jean Silva, who knows something about earning star row, defended Lopes against Evloev's taunted on social media.

Jean Silva Slams Movsar Evloev for mocking the Diego Lopes title shot
In a recent message to X, Silva Evloev destroyed for his recent comments.
“Brother, you talk so much, but where are your fights?” Silva tweeted to Evloev. “While you are, a man who is already leaving you is about to fight for the title. Staying unbeaten without action is simple. You are just that too much talks and does too little. “
Volkanovski welcomed a title defense against EVLOEV when he beats Lopes on UFC 314. As far as Silva is concerned, he marches to the top 15 after a whole series of recent victories, including a brutal knockout in UFC Seattle.
Silva will fight for a top 15 spot when he is opposite Bryce Mitchell on UFC 314 and shares a map with Volkanovski and Lopes. A victory can give him a fight with a top 10 -year -old and a step closer to a potential title shot.

After he eliminated Melsik Baghdasaryan, Silva Mitchell, who was central to recent controversies, shouted. Mitchell has not fought since the beating of Kron Gracie at UFC 310.
Silva remains unbeaten in his UFC career after victories over Drew Dober, Charles Jourdain and Westin Wilson. He earned a place on the UFC selection via the Dana White Contender Series in 2023.
After the departure of Holloway and Topuria from the Vederweight division, Silva is part of a new era for the 145-Ponders. Silva and Evloev can be on a collision course in the coming year, depending on how things take place in their career.
