UFC welterweight Volkan Ozdemir gave his prediction for a possible bout between the organization's featherweight champion Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
"Jiri Prochazka has a history with Pereira. I don't think the stoppage in their first fight was an early stoppage. I think it's much easier for Pereira to fight Prochazka than it is to fight Magomed Ankalaev. That's Alex's policy, for whom beating Prochazka is easier than beating Ankalaev. The fight with Magomed will be harder. But I think Ancalaev is the next opponent for Pereira. Mohammed is the only one who will use wrestling against Alex. Jiri and Jamal Hill don't have wrestling. Ancalaev has a wrestling pedigree. The only one who tried to wrestle Pereira was Israel Adesanya, but he's a white belt. If Ancalaev uses wrestling, it will be the end for Pereira," Ozdemir said.
