Former vacant light heavyweight title challenger, Magomed Ankalaev has staked his claim for a another title siege with a victory over Johnny Walker in their UFC Vegas 84 this weekend, claiming no other contender at 205 pounds deserves a shot at championship holder, Alex Pereira more than him.
Ankalaev, the current number three ranked light heavyweight contender, most recently featured on the main card of UFC 294 back in October, fighting to an official ‘No Contest’ against the aforementioned, Walker, after landing an illegal knee in the opening round which left the Brazilian unable to continue.
