MIAMI – UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is unfazed by Magomed Ankalaev’s trash talk.
Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) defends his title against Ankalaev (20-1-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) in the UFC 313 main event March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).
Ankalaev had been aggressively campaigning for the matchup, taking numerous shots at Pereira. Once their fight finally became official, Ankalaev continued to warn “Poatan” of what’s to come, but the champion is not interested in playing his game.
