Russian UFC fighter Magomed Ankalaev told why he decided to make fun of the new league champion in the light heavyweight division, Jiri Prochazka.
A fighter from the Czech Republic is fond of oriental culture and associates himself with samurai. “This is what a real samurai looks like,” Ankalaev posted a photo on a horse and signed it accordingly.
– It is necessary. You have to speak. I already have eight wins in a row. Before every fight, they tell me that I will fight for the title. I’m waiting for this moment, but I still haven’t. I want to become a champion, I have the desire, I have the potential, there are good coaches. I think I can do it. I will do it, – Sport24 quotes Ankalaev.
30-year-old Ankalaev won 17 victories in MMA and suffered one defeat.
