Officials have added a trio of bouts to the upcoming UFC Norfolk card, Ankalaev vs. Ion Cutelaba (light heavyweight), Serghei Spivac vs. Marcin Tybura (heavyweight), and Giga Chikadze vs. Mike Davis (featherweight).
After losing in his UFC debut via last-second submission to Paul Craig, Ankalaev (12-1) has rebounded with three consecutive wins against Dalcha Lungiambula, Klidson Abreu, and Marcin Prachnio. His win over Lungiambula at UFC Moscow was capped off by a third-round front kick knockout.
