UFC light heavyweight Bogdan Guskov in a conversation with he named the Russian fighter Magomed Ankalaeva favorite in potential light heavyweight title fight against Brazilian Alexa Pereira .
Ankalaev is ranked second in the heavyweight rankings and is on a 12-fight unbeaten streak. The champion in the Russian weight category was former Brazilian kickboxer Alex Pereira. Previously, Pereira did not rule out a fight with Ankalaev at one of the upcoming tournaments, but after the fight at UFC 300 he said that he would take a short break due to a finger injury .
— Alex Pereira became the champion in your weight category. How do you find it in this status?
– I would be interested in watching him against a wrestler, exactly the one who fights. On drums, of course, he’s one of the best, coming from Glory. His fight with our compatriot Magomed Ankalaev would be very interesting. They’re stepping up this fight now, and it looks like Magomed has said he’s ready to work on his feet, I’d like to see that.
– Whether standing or on the ground, if this fight took place, who do you think would be the favorite?
– Between them? Well, I will of course be biased, Magomed,” Guskov told .
