Dagestan UFC welterweight Magomed Ankalaev commented on rumors of a possible move of the division's current champion Alex Pereira to the heavyweight category.

"I don't know who sees Pereira as a heavyweight. A man who has no fight at all. Who would he fight against in the weights? I just don't understand that. That's one way of looking at it.

On the other hand, I've been a contender for a belt for a long time. Alex came into my division and became champion. And to run away from there without fighting with me - it's not nice of him," - quotes Ankalaev MMA Junkie.
