Magomed Ankalaev will compete for the UFC light heavyweight title for the second time in his career at UFC 313 this weekend, live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. His first attempt was back at UFC 282 when he fought for the vacant belt against Jan Blachowicz. On that occasion, the two men fought to a draw after Ankalaev was forced to wrestle after being beaten across the first two rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. The Russian clocked up 9:22 of control time in the final two rounds, managing to salvage a draw from the jaws of defeat.
