ABU DHABI – Magomed Ankalaev may have finally been granted his title shot after UFC 308.
Unbeaten in his past 13 fights, Ankalaev outpointed Aleksandar Rakic (14-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) to earn a unanimous decision win on Saturday’s main card at Etihad Arena.
Ankalaev (19-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) has been chomping at the bit for his shot at UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, telling him to “stop running” in his post-octagon interview. Dana White was asked about Ankalaev’s performance, and the UFC CEO was impressed.
