Brazilian UFC lightweight Renato Moicano spoke out about the upcoming fight between the promotion's light heavyweight division champion, compatriot Alex Pereira, and Dagestan Magomed Ankalaev.
"It's going to be a tough fight for both of them. But I don't think Ancalaev has an advantage because of the fight. I have to be honest - I want Alex to win. I think that's what everybody wants. He's an international star and he brings a lot of money to the UFC. If he loses, my channel and many others risk bankruptcy. Pereira has a cool story of achieving success, it sells. So there are a lot of people interested in him winning," Moicano is quoted by MMA Mania.
Recall that the Pereira - Ancalaev fight will headline the UFC 313 show, which will take place on Sunday night in Las Vegas, USA.
