LAS VEGAS – Magomed Ankalaev believes he should be up next for a title shot.
The UFC light heavyweight contender is confident he’s done more than Jamahal Hill, who’s considered the No. 1 contender by many, in the race to get a title shot against champion Alex Pereira.
“The math works out,” Ankalaev said at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 234 post-fight press conference. “I’m more deserving of the belt because I have 10 victories, and six of them knockouts. Jamahal Hill has eight fights total in the UFC, so it’s just clear I’m a more deserving contender than Jamahal Hill.”
