Ismailov said that the UFC put forward a demand to Magomed Ankalaev to develop social networks
Mixed martial arts (MMA) coach Ramazan Ismailov spoke about the demand put forward by the Russian fighter Magomed Ankalaev in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). It is reported by Metaratings.
“The UFC put forward conditions for Ankalaev to develop his social networks, so that he raises the interest of the audience. They need noisy characters, like Conor McGregor, who can turn on the audience, ”Ismailov said.
On December 11, 2022, Ankalaev fought for the UFC light heavyweight title with Pole Jan Blachowicz. The fight lasted five rounds and ended in a draw. The Russian fighter did not agree with the referee’s decision and threatened to leave the promotion. The head of the UFC, Dana White, criticized him for his passivity in the first rounds of the fight.
Before meeting with Blachowicz, Ankalaev won nine consecutive victories in the UFC. In total, the 30-year-old native of Dagestan has 17 wins and one loss in professional MMA.
