Magomed Ankalaev has reached out to current UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.
"Alex has six knockouts in the UFC, just like me. He's aware of why he's not fighting me, but a guy who is eighth in the rankings. Let's really focus on your fight. I will do the same," wrote Magomed on his page on social networks.
Recall, his next fight Pereira will hold against Khalil Rountree.
