Former UFC flyweight title challenger Magomed Ankalaev said he has received an offer to fight champion Alex Pereira at the upcoming UFC 300 event.

"For me, this fight is especially interesting because I was promised that I will meet the winner. I was actually offered to fight Pereira at this tournament, but since we had the holy month of Ramadan, I had to decline.

I've been in this sport for a long time and I don't see any danger from any of them. I don't care at all who wins. I've had different trials, I've had opponents: both comfortable and uncomfortable. The goal is the same - to win the belt," said Ankalaev in an interview with Meta Fight.
