Ancalaev has promised to knockout Pereira

"Alex, congratulations. I'm very impressed. But the boss always says it's a sport of opportunity. And all I need is an opportunity. I don't need a fight to beat you. I'll use my striking technique to test your chin. All the top-five guys are knocked out, I remain the best welterweight on the planet. None of them are up to my level, and now it's my turn to fight the champion. He doesn't fear me as much as other opponents. Trust me, I will knock Alex out. I don't need to take him to the ground. This guy has a weak chin, but he can be very dangerous," Magomed wrote on his social media.
