Undefeated Russian UFC light heavyweight fighter Magomed Gadzhiyasulov spoke about a potential title fight between Brazilian Alex Pereira and compatriot Magomed Ankalaev.
In his last fight, which took place at UFC Fight Night 234 in January, Ankalaev knocked out Brazilian Johnny Walker in the second round.
“Ankalaev has a very good stance, he feels great on his feet. I think he can hold up to five rounds with Pereira in a stance. He doesn’t rush forward, doesn’t engage in a brawl, he works competently. But if he also tries to translate, Pereira will have big problems,” “Championship” quotes Gadzhiyasulov as saying.
