Alexander Volkanovski says he felt bad as UFC fans booed Movsar
\nEvloev<\/h2>\n

Volkanovski and Evloev squared off at a press conference in Los
\nAngeles during UFC
\n331<\/a> fight week to promote their upcoming title clash. Evloev
\nwas showered with boos while the crowd cheered for Volkanovski
\nthroughout the press conference.<\/p>\n

Volkanovski recently revealed that he felt bad when the crowd booed
\nEvloev. While Volkanovski understands why Evloev\u2019s fighting style
\nmight not appeal to some fans, he noted that the undefeated
\ncontender has paid the price for it. \u201cThe Great\u201d believes Evloev
\nhas long deserved a title shot and has been held back by his lack
\nof finishes in the UFC.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Evloev] took the long road to the title,\u201d Volkanovski said on the
\n\u201cPrecision\u201d podcast. \u201cHe probably deserved it before now, but yeah,
\nthat’s why I’m glad it’s happening. I almost feel bad for the guy.
\nLike, I’m weird. Even when we were doing the press conference,
\neveryone was booing him; I’m feeling bad. The boos are meant to get
\nin his head, and it’s getting more into my head than his, I reckon.
\nI feel bad for the guy. A lot of people don’t like his style, which
\nI guess I can understand in this sport; we know how it can be. But
\nagain, he’s taken the long road. I’m a pretty easy champion to
\nunderstand. If you deserve it, let’s do it, and he does deserve it,
\nso I’m glad it’s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evloev (20-0) has yet to record a finish during his 10-fight UFC
\ntenure, prompting criticism from some fans. Nevertheless,
\nVolkanovski has repeatedly called for a fight with the former
\nM-1
\nGlobal<\/a> champion, and they\u2019re finally set to clash on Oct. 24 at
\nEtihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
