When Ariel Helwani vouched for Movsar Evloev for a title shot after his win at UFC 310

Movsar Evloev and Aljamain Sterling squared off against each other in the preliminary card of UFC 310 in a featherweight showdown. Evloev defeated Sterling in the match and extended his win streak to 19 with nine successive victories in the company.

Ariel Helwani offered his thoughts on The Ariel Helwani Show, where he vouched for Evloev's shot for the featherweight title.

"I've no issues for Movsar Evloev fighting for the belt next, fighting the winner of Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkov, or fighting Diego Lopes. Don't know if he'll if it will shake out that way but you know 19-0. ...9 wins in the UFC and here you have the UFC great Khabib Nurmagomedov backing that stance."
