In the UFC, there have been many instances where fans felt a title challenger didn’t truly deserve the opportunity. With rumors swirling about a potential fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez, similar sentiments are resurfacing. Team Renato Moicano, known for their clever and humorous takes, expressed their disagreement in a lighthearted way.
The Show Me the Money podcast recently shared a humorous photo of a tortoise perched awkwardly on a tree branch, using it as a metaphor to comment on Yair Rodriguez receiving a title shot. The image, often used to imply something or someone is out of place, suggests Moicano believes Yair’s title opportunity wasn’t entirely earned on merit. The post sparked reactions across the MMA community, with fans interpreting it as a subtle jab at the UFC’s matchmaking decisions.

While the date for the potential rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez is not yet confirmed, many fans have already voiced their disapproval. The matchup hasn’t generated much excitement, with some feeling it lacks the appeal and competitiveness expected at the championship level. For many, the idea of running it back doesn’t feel fresh or necessary, especially given the dominance Volkanovski showed in their first encounter.

Evloev recently acknowledged Volkanovski for attempting to make their fight happen, even though it didn’t materialize. He confirmed that he will be competing in July, while Volkanovski is expected to return in September. Looking ahead, Movsar expressed hope that both of them secure victories in their upcoming bouts. If all goes well, he’s aiming for a potential showdown with the former champion in December, setting the stage for a high-stakes featherweight clash.
Indeed, a fight between Volkanovski and Evloev would bring exciting dynamics to the featherweight division. With Evloev still undefeated, the matchup carries a sense of unpredictability and high stakes. Fans are eager to see how Volkanovski’s experience and striking would match up against Evloev’s relentless grappling and pressure.
