""If Movsar wins the division just comes to a halt... If you think about Movsar, 11 fights canceled, what is that gonna do? If this guy wins the belt, the belt's just gonna go away... [Volkanovski] is afraid of facing me. What does he want to do? Defend against takedowns for 25 minutes?... Let's just stop all the BS. Let's think straight about it. Let's go in and exchange some strikes. I'll say more: if Volkanovski wins, I'll leave the UFC. That's what I'll say.""
Jean Silva is pushing for a featherweight title shot against Alexander Volkanovski, despite Volkanovski's inclination to defend against Movsar Evloev. Silva attended UFC London and approached UFC executive Hunter Campbell with a contract. Volkanovski believes Silva has not proven himself, citing Silva's loss to Diego Lopes. Silva argues that Evloev's history of fight cancellations would stall the division and expresses a desire for an engaging fight with Volkanovski. He also threatens to leave the UFC if he loses to Volkanovski.
