INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jailton Almeida knows what he wants, and he knows how to ask for it.
The problem has been, he just hasn’t gotten the right answer on that request yet. Still, after a bonus-winning knockout at UFC 311 on Saturday, the Brazilian decided he should call out former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane one more time.
“This is a guy that I’ve called out a couple of times,” Almeida said at the UFC 311 post-fight news conference. “He’s been a guy who’s always been at the top of the rankings, been out there with the interim title. I’ve called him out like three times. So I guess it’s time to fight. I don’t know what I have to. I’m going to have to ask the UFC if I have to buy a ticket to go after him.”
