Pereira believes Ankalaev is not in the top 4 UFC light heavyweights

UFC light heavyweight champion Brazilian Alex Pereira listed the four strongest, in his opinion, fighters in the division.

“Hill is not the second best light heavyweight after me. He's fourth. After me come Blachowicz, Prochazka and only then Hill.

Ankalaev? I would like to prove people wrong, because many people say that he will beat me. The moment will come when I will have the opportunity to shut everyone’s mouth about the level of my work on the ground,” Pereira said in an interview with the One Hour MMA YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that Pereira will make his first defense of the light heavyweight title against Jamal Hill, who resigned as champion last summer due to injury. The fight will take place on April 13 in the main event of the UFC 300 anniversary tournament in Las Vegas.
