The fight between Ankalaev and Walker will headline the UFC Fight Nights 234 tournament, which will take place on January 13 in Las Vegas (USA).
— Magomed is clearly the favorite in this fight. He’s a better fighter, he has good wrestling, good striking technique. I know him, we even managed to train together. He’s a talented and decent guy. I think Ankalaev should win. This is what will happen. Plus, they also have a personal moment, so I think Ankalaev should get a clear and dominant victory. I would bet on a quick victory for Magomed Ankalaev. I wish him that,” Goncharov told .
