Sukhrab Magomedov said that Ankalaev can hold the next fight in October in Abu Dhabi
Sukhrab Magomedov, coach of Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Magomed Ankalaev, spoke about organizing his next fight. The words of the specialist are quoted by Match TV.
“They say in words that in October in Abu Dhabi. But here anything can happen. At first we had a conversation that Walker could be an opponent, then he was changed to someone else, ”Magomedov said, adding that at the moment he cannot guess who Ankalaev will fight next.
On December 11, 2022, Ankalaev fought for the title of champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in light heavyweight 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.
