Maintaining a rematch with arch-rival, Alex Pereira is likely next, UFC 313 victor, Magomed Ankalaev has claimed he will not allow the Brazilian to see the scorecards this time around — vowing to finish him in an immediate rematch.
Ankalaev, the newly-minted undisputed light heavyweight champion, headlined UFC 313 last weekend against Sao Paulo knockout artist, Pereira, narrowly landing a unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) triumph against the former two-weight champion.
And given the close nature of the pairing in ‘Sin City’, fans and pundits immediately called for a rematch between Ankalaev and Pereira next — with the duo both welcoming the chance to take each other on next.
