Diego Lopez Names Next Title Contender for UFC Featherweight Championship

The former UFC featherweight title contender, **Diego Lopez**, believes that the next opponent for the current UFC featherweight champion, **Alexander Volkanovski**, should be the undefeated Russian fighter **[Movsar Evloev](https://www.mmajunkie.com/tags/30393-movsar-evloev/)**.

«It’s definitely Movsar. The UFC has been sitting on him for a while, and even though his style isn’t appealing to everyone, he has won crucial fights and deserves a title shot. Rodriguez also performed exceptionally well in his last fight. I think the UFC has promised him something. It’s unlikely he would agree to fight a newcomer outside the rankings without any assurances. So, either of them could contend for the title, and whoever doesn’t get the title shot can fight me. I want to compete at the event in Guadalajara, and I need a fight that will make the UFC say, ‘Win this, and you’ll fight for the title,'» Lopez stated, as reported by MMA Junkie.
