I feel like an immediate rematch is right after everything I've done for this division in the UFC. When would I like to fight? August.
Ankalaev and Pereira met in the main event of UFC 313, which took place on March 9 in Las Vegas, USA. This bout went the full distance, and Magomed won by unanimous decision, claiming the UFC light heavyweight title.
Ankalaev has 20 wins, one loss, and one draw in mixed martial arts, with one fight ruled a no contest. Pereira's record includes 12 wins and three losses.
