Sukhrab Magomedov, UFC fighter trainer Magomed Ankalaev told RB Sport that no one should be fighting for a temporary belt in the light heavyweight division.
Previously, Jiri Prochazka and Jamal Hill had declined the championship belt due to injuries.
– How did you take the news that Jamal Hill left the belt due to injury?
“I don’t consider this man a champion at all. They took him upstairs. Maybe it suited them to some degree. There are guys who are much better.
— The same opinion exists about Prochaska.
– It only has non-standard equipment. I don’t know how it feels in the stalls – no one has seen it, it hasn’t been translated.
– Who should fight for the interim belt after Hill vacates it?
– I don’t think so at the moment. There should be contender fights and the winners should fight for the belt. Blachowicz will fight with Pereira, Ankalaev will fight on October 21 – I think after that it will be known who will go to the title fight, – said Magomedov.
Czech fighter Jiri Prochazka is number one in the light heavyweight rankings, Russian Magomed Ankalaev is second.
