UFC light heavyweight champion Brazilian Alex Pereira has spoken out about a potential fight against Dagestan Magomed Ankalaev, ranked second in the division's official rankings. Previously, the latter has repeatedly urged the promotion's management to assign him a title fight.

"A bout against Ankalaev? This guy is not an easy opponent. Honestly, I have to decide what's best for me in terms of my next fight. I'm here to fight, but I'm not too good at organizational issues," MMA Fighting quotes Pereira as saying.

Recall that on April 13 at the UFC 300 anniversary tournament, Pereira made his first title defense, knocking out Jamal Hill in the opening round.
