Silva has called for a clash against undefeated contender Movsar
Evloev
, who is in search of an opponent after Aljamain
Sterling
withdrew from their scheduled bout at UFC
307
.“Funkmaster” pulled out of the contest last week due to an
injury suffered in sparring.

Silva has now called out Evloev, although he won’t be able to
replace Sterling at UFC 307. The Brazilian would instead like to
fight Evloev at UFC 309
on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

„Evloev, I know your fight is off and I will accept to fight you
but I cannot fight on [Oct. 5] as the UFC staff and my doctor
Daniel didn’t allow me to fight, but on [Nov. 16], if you agree on
the Jon
Jones
card, I guarantee you will have a war. Let’s go,” Silva
said on Instagram.

Evloev is 8-0 in UFC competition, going the distance in all of his
victories. Meanwhile, Silva has finished his first three Octagon
appearances by knockout or technical knockout. The 27-year-old most
recently made a two-week turnaround from a KO win over Charles
Jourdain
to score a doctor stoppage triumph against Drew Dober in
a lightweight clash.
