While Aljamain Sterling openly criticizes his position on the UFC 310 preliminary card , Movsar Evloev , his opponent, doesn't seem to see the situation as a problem. Last Monday (2), the Russian made a post on X (formerly Twitter) addressing the issue.
“Guys, my fight is going to be broadcast on ESPN, a lot more people are going to watch my fight than on PPV, I don’t even care if I’m the first fight of the night, I earn the same. All my life I’ve worked hard to earn things, nothing has ever been given to me,” said the athlete.
Guys my fight will be broadcast on ESPN, way more people will watch my fight than on the PPV, I don't even care if I'm the first fight of the night, I get paid the same. All my life I worked hard to earn something nothing was ever given to me

The statement is in line with the thinking not only of Sterling, but also of other figures linked to the sport, such as Matt Brown, who gave his point of view during the program 'The Fighter vs. The Writer', on the North American website MMA Fighting.
Movsar Evloev is undefeated in MMA
Fifth-ranked in the featherweight division (up to 65,7 kg), Movsar Evloev is undefeated, with a record of 18 wins, seven of them by stoppage. Among his defeated opponents is Brazilian Diego Lopes , third in the category. The two faced each other in May 2023, and on that occasion, despite struggling with submission attempts from the jiu-jitsu black belt, he managed to emerge victorious by unanimous decision.
