Magomed Ankalaev’s manager recently shared his thoughts on what could be next for Ankalaev. The Russian fighter who dethroned Alex Pereira earlier this year at UFC 313 to become the UFC light heavyweight kingpin lost his crown in the title rematch at UFC 320, with ‘Poatan’ securing a round one knockout victory.
After that fight, Ankalaev claimed that he fought the Brazilian with a rib injury, and because of that, he lost in just 80 seconds.
On the other hand, after becoming a two-time UFC light heavyweight kingpin, Pereira now wants to move up and fight Jon Jones.
