Rogan explained why Pereira won't fight Ancalaev

Alexandr Ormanji Jan. 6, 2025, 7:40 a.m.

Perennial UFC commentator Joe Rogan gave the reason why Alex Pereira's next opponent won't be Magomed Ankalaev.

"He should have fought Ancalaev. Ancalaev is dangerous as hell, he's the number one contender and he's been on a winning streak for a long time. He has one draw in a fight against Jan Blachowicz, who is a former champion. Ancalaev is on top, and he's been waiting for a title fight for a long time. But he started saying all sorts of de***ing things and Alex didn't like it, so he decided: 'Fuck him - let him wait.' Alex just said he's going to fight in March. Because if Alex fights in March, Magomed won't be able to come out for the fight because of Ramadan. This year Ramadan is from February 28 to March 29, and that's when Alex is going to fight."
