Former ASA Light Heavyweight Champion Muslim Magomedov would have every chance of winning a potential fight with UFC belt holder, Brazilian Alex Pereira. This opinion was shared by the Russian UFC light heavyweight Magomed Ankalaev .
Magomedov, who sits at No. 1 in the ASA rankings, has 14 MMA wins. Ankalaev is ranked No. 2 in the UFC light heavyweight rankings.
— I highly value Muslim Magomedov as a fighter. He has a kick, he fights, he is very adamant, he can compete, he does not give up his position. I fought with him myself. Muslim has everything to become a UFC champion. Of course, it always depends on his motivation in the fight, his mood and the composure of his head. If we consider him as a fighter, he is definitely in the top 5. Personally, I know how Muslims can fight for a long time. Pereira was not involved in violent fights. A confirmed Muslim, unlike Pereira. He did not fight for the whole round. I am sure that Muslim Magomedov could defeat Pereira, “said Ankalaev, whose words to were provided by the ASA press service.
