Undefeated UFC featherweight Movsar Evloev has recently hit back at UFC CEO Dana White following White’s criticism of Evloev’s fight against Arnold Allen at UFC 297. The bout, which took place earlier this year, left fans divided, with some appreciating the high-level skills on display, while others found it less entertaining.
In January, Movsar Evloev secured a unanimous decision victory over Arnold Allen. Despite the technical exchanges and grappling prowess showcased by both fighters, Dana White publicly labeled it “The Most Boring Fight Ever.” His comments sparked debate among MMA enthusiasts, who had varying opinions on the bout’s entertainment value.
Dana White’s Unexpected Distraction
Evloev, in a recent interview on the Badaev Podcast, shed light on an intriguing behind-the-scenes detail. According to Evloev, he received information that Dana White was not fully engaged in watching their fight. Instead, White was reportedly following an American football game on another screen. Evloev humorously remarked,“Maybe he didn’t see my fight at all.”
Movsar Evloev’s Ambitions
Despite White’s criticism, Movsar Evloev remains focused on his championship aspirations. He emphasized that his goal was not to amuse Dana White but to win a title. Evloev’s unbeaten record (18-0) speaks volumes about his skill set, and he continues to climb the featherweight rankings.

Looking ahead, Evloev expressed interest in a featherweight clash with former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Sterling recently made his featherweight debut and impressed with a dominant win over Calvin Kattar. Evloev welcomed the idea of a grappling-heavy matchup, stating, “Two grapplers, the way we grapple, it could be some very fun scrambles.”
While both fighters seem keen on the potential matchup, it remains to be seen whether the UFC will book this exciting clash. Regardless, Movsar Evloev’s determination and focus continue to drive him toward championship glory.
