Newly-minted light heavyweight champion, Magomed Ankalaev has claimed he is skeptical about the chances of actually facing former-foe, Alex Pereira as soon as August — revealing he has his reservations about the UFC star’s desire to fight him again.
Ankalaev, who headlined UFC 313 at the beginning of last month, managed to scoop the undisputed light heavyweight crown at the second time of trying, taking on former two-weight champion, Pereira.
And turning in a controversial victory over the Brazilian knockout star, Russian force, Ankalaev managed to emerge with a dubious unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) victory — landing the divisional belt to boot.
