The next challenge for Alex Pereira
After Alex Pereira’s second title defense against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303 on two weeks' notice, fight fans are wondering who could possibly fight him next. The only name that looks credible enough to fight Alex Pereira next is Magomed Ankalaev.
Magomed Ankalaev is currently on a 12-fight win streak. After Alex Pereira finished Jiri in round two at UFC 303, Ankalaev challenged Pereira and expressed that he would end the fight on foot and not use his wrestling prowess.
Ankalaev tweeted, "Guys, believe me, everyone, I will knock out Alex Pereira. I do not need to take him down. This guy's chin is gone, but I know he is very dangerous."
Ankalaev is not stopping there; he is constantly trash-talking UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
The Russian light heavyweight tweeted and expressed that he feels like he will knock out Alex Pereira. He even trolled Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill, saying, "I respect you (Alex Pereira), but the reality is you’re still the champion because you haven’t fought me yet. You fought with a fake ninja and a street fighter, both with no chins. If Izzy can KO you, then I will cause 3x damage. I will do it with no wrestling."
Finally, Ankalaev warned Alex Pereira that he would knock him out in under 15 minutes: "I will make a deal. First 15 minutes, no takedowns."
