Alex Pereira, the UFC bantamweight champion, has announced that he wants to fight Magomed Ankalaev in March.
"At first I said I wanted to take a break, but then I started training again and realized I felt good. I saw clear progress, so I immediately called my managers and said I wanted to fight Ankalaev in March. He keeps saying I'm just a UFC employee and fight whoever they want to fight, so I demanded a fight with him. And I told them when I wanted to fight."
