Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo stated that he would cut undefeated contender Movsar Evloev if he were UFC president. Aldo criticized Evloev's fighting style as boring and unmarketable, arguing that the UFC is an entertainment business that prioritizes fan-friendly, exciting fighters over those who rely heavily on decision victories.

Aldo also pushed back against Evloev's past comments questioning former champions' performances after enhanced drug testing. Looking ahead to Saturday's UFC 333 main event in Abu Dhabi, Aldo confirmed he is actively rooting for Alexander Volkanovski to defeat Evloev, even if it allows Volkanovski to surpass his own featherweight title defense record.
