I think if Ilia does this, he will lose everything. But he has the power to fight at lightweight, and I don't think it's going to be a good fight for Gaethje if they fight. Gaethje's fight [against Pimblett] was so good, but he missed a lot of punches. That's not a good idea with Ilia. If [Ilia] touches [Justin], he'll knock him out, but with Islam, it's not going to happen. Islam is so huge and on another level.

Evloev was scheduled to welcome former Bellator MMA star Aaron Pico to the UFC last August at UFC 319. However, Evloev pulled out of the matchup with hardly over two weeks to go before fight night. Evloev recently revealed that he was forced out of the fight due to coronavirus, the same virus responsible for the worldwide lockdown in 2020-21. Evloev claims he was affected by the virus in Thailand and decided to pull out when even easy exercises made him feel terrible.
