Evloev wants to stop Alexander Volkanovski in his first UFC
\ntitle challenge<\/h2>\n

Evloev is looking to win the featherweight title in style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my first title fight,\u201d Evloev told MMA Fighting. \u201cAnd
\nwe\u2019re looking to make it my first finish in the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unbeaten Russian says that while he has defeated champions on
\nthe regional scene, he often didn\u2019t receive credit for those
\nvictories. According to Evloev, his detractors would argue that his
\nopponents were past their prime or coming from a bad camp. He
\ndoesn\u2019t want to hear the same criticism if he dethrones the
\n38-year-old Volkanovski and is eager to face the best version of
\n\u201cThe Great\u201d in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to beat champions before joining the UFC,\u201d Evloev added.
\n\u201cAnd when I beat them, people used to say, \u2018OK, they weren\u2019t that
\ngood like before.\u2019\u2019 I don\u2019t want to hear this [old excuse] again,
\nso I want him to be in his prime, in the best condition, so I can
\nshow my skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
