Magomed Ankalaev called out Alex Pereira ahead of their title tilt at UFC 320.
In March, Ankalaev unseated ‘Poatan’ as the undisputed light heavyweight champion, scoring a unanimous decision victory over the Brazilian bruiser. Now, the Dagestani will look to prove that his win was no fluke when the two run it back this Saturday night in Las Vegas.
While things were mostly quiet in the months leading up to their sequel scrap, things have grown more intense following a run-in at the UFC Performance Institute, where Pereira says Ankalaev tried to “hide” from him.
