Issuing multiple call outs to incumbent light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira off the back of the Brazilian’s stunning UFC 303 win at the end of last month, Russian contender, Magomed Ankalaev has vowed to knock out the former before this years’ end.
Ankalaev, the current number two ranked light heavyweight challenger, has been out of action since he landed a knockout victory over Pereira’s countryman, Johnny Walker earlier this year, maintaining his spot within the division’s top-3 rankings.
