"For me this fight is particularly interesting as I was promised that I would face the winner. I was offered to fight Pereira at all in 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.
Recall that the UFC 300 tournament will take place on the night of April 14 in Las Vegas, USA. In the main event of the event Alex Pereira will defend the belt in the light heavyweight division against the encroachments of former champion Jamal Hill.
