Magomed Ankalaev issues cold warning to Alex Pereira after UFC 303: ‘I’ll send him back to Brazil beltless’

Surging light heavyweight contender, Magomed Ankalaev has once more issued a stark warning to current division champion, Alex Pereira – claiming he will send the knockout artist back to his native Brazil without his title in tow as he vows to knock him out in a future clash.

Ankalaev, who most recently headlined UFC Vegas 84 earlier this year, knocked back Alex Pereira’s compatriot, Johnny Walker to remain the number two ranked contender, landing a second round knockout in the pair’s immediate rematch.

And as for former undisputed middleweight kingpin, Pereira, the current light heavyweight kingpin remained the pacesetter at 205lbs over the weekend at UFC 303, laying waste to former champion, Jiri Prochazka with a devastating second round high-kick knockout win in Las Vegas.
