UFC welterweight division No. 2 ranked Magomed Ankalaev challenged champion Alex Pereira.
"Congratulations, champ. I'm very impressed. Dana White has always said that MMA is a sport of opportunity. I want my chance. I don't need a fight. I believe my punches are enough to check your jaw. I believe I will knock you out.
Two years ago, Pereira said he wasn't ready to fight me. This is the most dangerous opponent for me in the division, and I am the most dangerous opponent for him," wrote Ankalaev in X.
