Despite claims from his manager that a fight with Alex Pereira is most definitely next, Magomed Ankalaev’s religious practices may be used against him by the Brazilian according to Joe Rogan — who claims the UFC star is likely to utilize the period of Ramadan to his advantage to delay a grudge pairing.
Pereira, the current undisputed light heavyweight champion, has been sidelined since last October, earning himself the LowKick MMA Fighter of the Year award with his third successful defense that annum alone — stopping Khalil Rountree with a bloody finish in the fourth round.
