“Well, I've been asking the UFC and telling them I will make that weight very easy,” Figueiredo said. “I've been asking them to say, just make that fight, I want that opportunity. And let's see if his boxing is as good as mine.”

“It needs to happen. If he gives me an opportunity, I go out there and knock him out.”

Movsar Evloev is targeting his first finish inside the Octagon when he faces Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 333 next month:

"This is my first title fight, and we'er looking to make it my first finish in the UFC."

The unbeaten Russian is also hoping to face the 145-pound at his best.

“I’m expecting him to be at this level that when I beat him, nobody will say he’s not like before. He’s still good, but this guy is special.’

"I used to beat champions before UFC and when I beat them, people used to say, ‘OK, they wasn’t that good like before. Maybe they get old or did not have good camps.’ But I don’t want to hear this one again, so I want him to be in his prime, in the best condition, so I can show my skills.”
