Former champion Jose Aldo stated in an interview that he would have released Movsar Evloev from the UFC following the prospect's first professional defeat.

Legendary UFC fighter Jose Aldo has provided a critical assessment of undefeated featherweight contender Movsar Evloev. In a recent interview, the former featherweight champion expressed that if he held decision-making power within the organization, he would have removed the 20-0 fighter from the UFC roster following his first loss. While Aldo did not elaborate on the specific reasoning behind this stance, his comments underscore the high level of scrutiny surrounding Evloev’s standing in the promotion. Evloev, who maintains an unblemished professional record, has frequently been a subject of debate among peers and analysts regarding his fighting style and position in the division. Aldo’s remarks reflect his established, albeit controversial, perspective on the competitive standards he believes should be upheld for fighters at the highest level of the sport. As Evloev continues his path toward potential title contention, such external criticism highlights the pressure and visibility that come with maintaining an undefeated streak in the UFC.
