This waiting is just nonsense. I'm losing interest in the UFC and if Dana isn't going to take the sport seriously anymore, there's no point in watching.
Evloev obviously deserves the title shot at 145, but he's 9-0 with 0 finishes. I honestly think there's a higher chance of him getting cut than getting a title shot. I'm sure the UFC have told him "finish a top 5 opponent, and then you get a title shot".
I still firmly believe the UFC will strip Aspinall of his interim title and do Jones vs Pereira. Unless they land a new PPV deal soon, they will need those 2025 PPV numbers as high as possible.
