Magomed Ankalaev has stunningly revealed tonight that negotiations are already underway for a rematch with Alex Pereira following their UFC 313 title fight just two nights ago, after previously welcoming the chance to fight the Brazilian again immediately.
Headlining just over the course of the weekend, Russian standout, Ankalaev stopped the dominant title run of Sao Paulo finisher, Pereira in a contentious unanimous decision win in Las Vegas.
Scooping the undisputed light heavyweight crown with a controversial judging (48-47, 48-467, 49-46) victory, Ankalaev’s victory was argued by Brazilian rival, Pereira who questioned beyond control, what damage was inflicted on him by the challenger.
