Prochazka (31-5-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) congratulated Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) for his title-winning performance against Alex Pereira in Saturday’s UFC 313 main event, and initially issued “Poatan” a challenge. He then changed his tune and said it’s a better idea to go straight for the title.

Just days following UFC 313, Magomed Ankalaev has revealed that negotiations are already underway to face Alex Pereira in a rematch.

Alex Pereira is no longer the UFC light heavyweight champion after a grinding affair against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313.
