Top UFC light heavyweight Magomed Ankalaev believes he deserves a title shot more than the former division champion Jamal Hill.

Today, January 14, at the UFC Fight Night 234 tournament in Las Vegas, Ankalaev knocked out Johnny Walker in the second round.

“I think I deserve a title shot more than Jamal Hill because I have ten wins, six by knockout. How many fights does Hill have in total? About eight in total. So I think that I deserve more,” Ankalaev said at a press conference.
