Former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Magomed Ankalaev addressed the division's third-ranked Jamahal Hill on his X account.
Magomed Ankalaev
Jamal Hill time to eat your words. Get ready for Abu Dhabi. You're officially the backup.
Recall, on October 26 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) at UFC 308 Magomed Ankalaev will meet with Austrian Aleksandar Rakic.
Ankalaev last stepped into the octagon in January 2024 at UFC Fight Night 234, defeating Johnny Walker by knockout in the second round. He has 18 wins, one loss and one draw under his belt. One fight has been ruled a no contest.
