The head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergey Melikov congratulated the Russian fighter Magomed Ankalaev on the victory over Brazilian Alex Pereir in the main battle of the UFC 313 tournament and invited the president of the promotion to Dane White to visit the region.

Ankalaev defeated Pereyra with a unanimous decision of the judges and became the UFC champion in half -life.

– The whole battle our athlete went forward, forcing Perehra to retreat. The Dagestan inflicted accurate blows, exhausted the opponent at the grid and won a very confident victory.

Just yesterday, he discussed the upcoming fight for Magomed with our other UFC champion Islam Makhachev. We were confident in victory, but understood that the battle would be difficult, given the scale of the opponent – a unique athlete and a successful champion.

Now our region has two champion belts. Thanks to strength, skill and perseverance, contrary to intrigues and a biased attitude! I am sure that the UFC management has long been wondering what the secret of the invincibility of the Dagestanis. It’s time to come and find out everything in place. Perhaps White will be useful to see how our champions grow, what air they breathe and which the khinkal eat.

Magomed, thanks for the pride that we all experienced! I am sure that even more loud victories await us. Once again, I congratulate everyone on this magnificent result, ”Melikov wrote in Telegram channel.

Ankalaev was 32 years old, during his career in MMA he won 20 victories, suffered one defeat and one fight ended. On the account of the 37 -year -old Pereweira 12 wins and three defeats.
