Magomed Ankalaev prefers Carlos Ulberg Then with the UFC 320 Victory on “ Yesterday’s News ” Jiri Proper and Khalil Routree
If it was to Magomed Ankalaev, with another victory over Alex Pereira, his next opponent will be Carlos Ulberg – not Jiri Nearuits or Khalil Routree.
The Light UFC Light Truck Champion faces Pereira for the second time this Saturday in the main event of the UFC 320. The competition on the same card is also the former champion Jiri Proper and the recent Challenger Khalil Routree in a high -challenged divisional match that could determine the next challenger.
However, Ulberg has just targeted a spectacular victory in the first round on Dominick Reyes in the main UFC Perth event a week ago. If Ankalaev keeps, authorizing a new challenger makes more sense for the best fighter in the division.
“You know, the guys who fight on the same card as me, Runtree and Nextzka, I am no longer really interested in them,” Ankalaev told MMA who fights against a translator. “These are news from yesterday. They have already been punished by the former champion, the guy I fight now, the guy I beat.
“So, I am not specifically interested, say, the older guys, the older generation. But this new guy, the guy of Ulberg of which you are talking about, I mean, he is interesting. He is on an interesting sequence. He has been undefeated for a little while, and I think that if the UFC wants to stop it, what they will do, it will be a fight against me.
Ankalaev is undefeated in its last 13 fights and has taken shots on social networks for Propzka and Routree.
After his victory over Reyes, Ulberg said he hoped that Ankalaev Bat Pereira for the second time so that he can face the Strié title holder. If this is the case, it is very good by Ankalaev, but ultimately, he is a businessman and will do everything that promotion prefers.
“If they want to make a star of him, if they want to continue to move him forward, continue to make him a big problem in the UFC, they can,” said Ankalaev. “But ultimately, he will have to face me, and it will, most likely, stop this great increase.”
“But I already said, I repeat: I don’t choose my opponents. At any rate [the] The UFC decides, that’s what we are going to do. We will see what’s going on.
