Russian promoter Kamil Gadjiev told that light heavyweight Magomed Ankalayev will have one more fight before fighting for the UFC belt.
Ankalaev is ranked third in the light heavyweight rankings and is on a 12-fight unbeaten streak. At the last UFC Vegas 84 tournament, Ankalaev knocked out Brazilian Johnny Walker in the second round and announced his desire to fight for the belt he owns. Alex Pereira .
— Who will fight for the title next: Ankalaev, who has the best streak in the division, or Hill, who relinquished the belt due to injury?
“I’m guessing Hill, because Dana White once made it clear he wasn’t a big fan of Magomed Ankalaev and there’s a feeling a win over Johnny Walker won’t be the final argument for giving him a fight for the title. But after the next victory, if there is one, Dana will no longer have the opportunity to ignore Ankalaev, unless a new superstar appears in this weight. Therefore, I think that the fight will now go to Hill and Ankalaev will be next in line,” Gadzhiev told .
