Former contender for the UFC light heavyweight title Magomed Ankalaev stated that from now on he will fight more aggressively and with an eye on an early victory.
Let us remember that in December last year, Ankalaev missed the opportunity to win the vacant belt at that time - his fight with Jan Blachowicz ended in a draw via split decision. After the fight, promotion head Dana White criticized the Dagestani for an extremely boring performance.
“I watched the fight a couple of times, and there is no doubt that I came out victorious, but I understand that it’s not just about winning. It's about putting on a show. I think we have done a great job and corrected the mistakes that we already had. I’m ready to show exciting fights and not just win, but win ahead of schedule,” MMA Junkie quotes Ankalaev.
Let us remind you that on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Ankalaev will fight with Johnnie Walker.
