Undefeated UFC featherweight star Movsar Evloev is set to face former UFC bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling in a three-round featherweight battle at UFC 307 next month. Ahead of their much-awaited battle, 'Funk Master' blatantly accused Evloev of using Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). Despite this, Sterling believes he'd beat the Russian standout, regardless.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, Evloev officially responded to these strong allegations, saying:
"I don't what's the point of this but I don't care. We have doping control here and I'm always clean. I'm happy being in the UFC because I know there is, like good doping control and I can be confident to know that my opponents also does a doping test. So, if you talk without proof, you know, where I'm from, just some girls talk like that. And men don't talk like that. And yeah, I can't wait to beat his a**."

What did Aljamain Sterling say to accuse Movsar Evloev of PEDs?
In a lengthy video uploaded on X late last month, Aljamain Sterling accused Movsar Evloev of doping. The former 135-pound world champion didn't pull any punches when hitting his Russian opponent with some scathing words.
While 'Funk Master' didn't present solid evidence to prove his accusations, he was quite passionate that his words ring true.
Sterling said:
"I would love to get drug tested every single day. But I know my opponent [Evloev] would never do the same because I guarantee you my man is on something. But it's okay. I'm used to fighting guys who've been on gear. It's just one of those things. Like Nate Diaz said, 'They're all on steroids', right?
"So, may the better man win. I know I'm gonna be the cleaner man. I know I'm gonna get it done. I have no doubt in my mind. Even with you cheating. Mentally, it just shows that you're weak. So, it is what it is. Movsar I'm coming for that *ss and I can't wait October 5th it's going down UFC 307."
