The Brazilian will fight former division leader Alexander Volkanovski for the vacant belt at UFC 314 on April 12.
"Without a doubt, the fight with Yevloyev is important for me because he has beaten me in the past. But things are different now. We are both at the top of the division, and maybe he and I will fight for the title. I'm trying to focus my attention on Volkanovski, but after I win the belt, I will ask the UFC to give me a rematch with Yevloev," Sportskeeda quoted Lopez as saying.
