Athletistic/ Boxing. Russian fighter Mikhail Mokhnatkin has commented on his compatriot Magomed Ankalaev’s prospects of becoming the UFC champion.

“Ankalaev is great, he continues to do everything in his own way. Somehow I had the chance to come and see him in Dagestan. Even then, I felt that sooner or later he would become a champion. I have no doubt that even if they give him a few more fights before leaving for the title, he will move everyone and become the champion”, said Mokhnatkin.

Ankalaev has already won nine fights in a row and sits third in the light heavyweight division. In the last fight, the Russian fighter beat Anthony Smith.
