Russian UFC fighter Magomed Ankalayev must beat the Brazilian early Alexa Pereiro said head coach of the Universal Fighters club Rasul Magomedaliev.
On Thursday it became known that UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad withdrew from the fight against Kazakhstan’s Shavkat Rakhmonov due to medical reasons. Their showdown was supposed to be the main event of the evening at UFC 310. According to MMA Mania, tournament organizers approached Pereira and offered him a fight with Ankalaev. The tournament will take place on December 7 in Las Vegas.
– Pereira, of course, is afraid of Ankalaev. He is comfortable beating stand-ups and remaining a champion. Dana White also chose suitable opponents for him. But now, whether they like it or not, they have to put Ankalaev with him. They have a five-round fight, but I think it will not last until the end, because Ankalaev will win against him earlier than expected,” Magomedaliev told Vprognoze.ru.
Last weekend, the Russian defeated Austrian fighter of Serbian origin Aleksandar Rakic by unanimous decision at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.
Ankalaev, 32, has 19 wins and one loss in MMA, he also tied a fight and one of his fights was declared invalid. Current light heavyweight champion Pereira has won 12 fights with two defeats.
