Alexandr Ormanji Jan. 7, 2025, 8:34 a.m.

Ali Abdel-Aziz, the manager of Magomed Ankalaev, made a categorical statement about his ward's fight with UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira.

"Alex Pereira can say anything - this guy is a real killer. He's had three fights in 167 days. Who am I to forbid him from saying what he wants to say? He's having fun and Ancalaev is having fun with him. The only thing that matters is that he and Ancalaev will be locked in a cage. Alex Pereira's next opponent will be Magomed Ankalaev. The UFC can work things out, and if necessary, postpone it. In the UFC, the best fight the best. It's the only league in the world where if you keep winning, you get a title fight."
