Former undisputed light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka has hit out at newly crowned champion, Magomed Ankalaev following his UFC 313 title win — after the Russian labelled him a “fraud” and a “terrible” fighter after he called to face him next.

Ankalaev, the newly-minted undisputed champion in the division, returned to action over the weekend at UFC 313, taking home a unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) victory over common-foe, Alex Pereira in the pair’s heated grudge fight.

And landing some considerable control time at the fence despite failing with eleven separate takedowns, Ankalaev narrowly managed to out-point the Brazilian en route to an upset decision win for the former’s loyal fans.
