Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> hasn\u2019t been guaranteed a title shot despite his win over
\nLerone
\nMurphy<\/a> at
\nUFC London<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Evloev and Murphy (17-1) put their undefeated records on the line
\nin the main event at UFC London on Saturday. Despite getting
\npenalized due to a low blow, Evloev earned a majority decision win
\nover Murphy. While the fight was widely considered a featherweight
\ntitle eliminator, Dana White hasn\u2019t guaranteed the next
\nfeatherweight title shot to Evloev.<\/p>\n

\u201cPossibly, yes,\u201d White said<\/a> about Evloev potentially fighting for the
\ntitle next. \u201cAgain, I\u2019m not even thinking about that; the fight
\njust ended.\u201d<\/p>\n

No Promises<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, fellow contender Jean Silva<\/a>
\nwas also in attendance at UFC London. \u201cLord\u201d previously claimed
\nthat he was flying to London to sign the contract for the next
\ntitle shot against Alexander
\nVolkanovski<\/a>. Silva also walked up to executive Hunter Campbell
\nat UFC London and seemingly handed him a contract<\/a>. White did not outright dismiss
\nthe idea of Silva fighting for the title next. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have to see,\u201d White said. \u201cWhen we announce it, then you\u2019ll
\nknow it\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evloev (20-0) is riding the second-longest winning streak among
\nactive
\nUFC<\/a> fighters with 10 straight victories. Meanwhile, Silva
\n(17-3) is 5-1 in the UFC, with the only loss coming against
\nDiego
\nLopes<\/a>, who has unsuccessfully challenged Volkanovski for the
\ntitle twice. Volkanovski has long been calling Evloev the most
\ndeserving title contender. When Evloev called out Volkanovski after
\nhis UFC London win, the champion didn\u2019t hesitate to accept
\nverbally. <\/p>\n
