Sukhrab Magomedov, coach of UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev, spoke about the upcoming rematch against Alex Pereira at UFC 320.
Sukhrab Magomedov
Pereira can’t surprise with anything. His technique is standard, his strikes are standard. He's an old kickboxer. He has no speed. Alex has a punch, but not the kind that can really knock you out. And I tell everyone, if Magomed opens up he’ll surprise everyone and can even outplay, in pure stand-up a better striker than Alex Pereira.
Their first fight in March 2025 at UFC 313 ended with a unanimous decision victory for Ankalaev. Magomed has a record of 20 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, and 1 no-contest, while Pereira holds 12 wins and 3 losses.
