Movsar Yevloyev, an undefeated UFC welterweight, said he is ready to fight at the organization's 303rd event, which will take place June 29.
"June 29 at UFC 303 - I'm ready to beat anyone if it leads me to a title fight. While the champion on the world tour shows everyone his championship belt, instead of defending it, I can fight twice and beat two other title challengers," Yevloyev wrote on his social media.
Earlier, Diego Lopez after his victory at UFC 300 asked the organization's management to give him a rematch with Yevloyev.
"I have already asked Dana White to give me a rematch with Movsar Yevloyev at International Fight Week," said Lopez, who lost to Movsar by unanimous decision of the judges.

"Hopefully the UFC will release my loop tape of my reaction to that moment. I naturally screamed when I saw that ending. I had that happen for the first time in my 20-year career. It was an involuntary reaction. I was speechless. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Both of these guys are the epitome of our sport. Incredible class. I am privileged to have been bothered to work this fight," - wrote the judge on his social networks.

Aljamain Sterling, former UFC lightweight champion, said he was ready to end his career if he lost to Kelvin Kattar.
"Would I have ended my career? It depends on how it went down. I think if Kelvin Kattar had kicked my ass, I probably would have been done. But nobody knew about it. I didn't share those feelings with anyone, not even my fiancée. Told her something like, "Well, if I can't beat him, I don't know." But I didn't go into detail about what that really meant. I just said something along the lines of, "We'll see how it ends." That's about how I acted with everybody...".
Earlier this month, reigning UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, who is a Real Madrid fan, posted a joint photo with Barcelona legend Lionel Messi on social media. Today, Topuria once again dedicated the post to the legendary Argentine.
"From a young age, I have always admired Lionel. Messi was one of the people who inspired me a lot. His humility, despite his status as a legend, makes him even greater. And his personality surprised me even more. It was a source of pride for me," Topuria told UFC Espanol.

American MMA fan Obed Ardon commented on the scandalous clash with Armenian lightweight Arman Tsarukyan at the UFC 300 tournament in Las Vegas, USA.
Recall that during his entrance to the bout against Charles Oliveira, Tsarukyan punched a fan who showed him an obscene gesture.
"I'm not going to sue. I didn't even have such a thought. The first thought that came to my mind was, 'I hope I don't get kicked out of the tournament.' I would like to apologize to Arman - I provoked him by giving him the middle finger. I had been drinking all day and was behaving inadequately. It was my first time at a UFC show and it was absolutely incredible. I'm glad the incident wasn't so creepy.
I want to be clear: I didn't push Arman, I didn't insult him, I just showed him the middle finger. I congratulate Arman on an amazing performance and wish him luck in his title fight," Bloody Elbow quoted Ardon as saying.
