Magomed Ankalaev continues to attend for Alex Pereira battle
Ankalaev just lately referred to as to face Pereira at UFC 308 in October, though that request was rapidly declined by the sunshine heavyweight titleholder. UFC 308 takes place in Abu Dhabi, which might possible be a fan-friendly benefit for Ankalaev.
Ankalaev challenged for the then-vacant UFC mild heavyweight title towards Jan Blachowicz at UFC 282. The battle went to a cut up draw.
After shedding to Pereira by knockout at UFC 295, Procházka earned a press release win towards Aleksandar Rakić at UFC 300. He might probably face Pereira for the belt or in a No. 1 contender battle towards both Hill or Ankalaev.
Pereira’s UFC success is unprecedented. Simply 12 fights into his skilled MMA profession, he’s earned two UFC belts, the quickest to perform that feat.
The previous two-division Glory Kickboxing champion Pereira has gained six of his eight UFC fights by knockout. The one two fights that went the space have been determination victories over Blachowicz and Bruno Silva.
The UFC mild heavyweight title image continues to fascinate, and Pereira appears intent on operating it again with Procházka. Within the meantime, Ankalaev might need to attend not less than a number of extra months earlier than his desired title shot.
