Streaking light heavyweight challenger, Magomed Ankalaev has staked his claim once more for a title fight with divisional kingpin, Alex Pereira – claiming the Brazilian is just “overrated”, and is rather “lucky” to face the opponents he has thus far during his divisional stint.
Ankalaev, the current number two ranked divisional contender, has been sidelined since he rematched perennial challenger, Johnny Walker back in February, stopping the Brazilian with a stunning knockout win at the UFC Apex facility.
Himself headlining UFC 303 over the course of last weekend, former two-weight champion, Pereira again made light work of former titleholder, Jiri Prochazka, finishing the Czech Republic native with a high-kick knockout win.
