UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev shared his goals for the future.
Magomed Ankalaev for Sport24
I want to first solve all the questions with the guys who deservedly contend for the belt. Such as Carlos Ulberg. I’ll perform one or two title defenses, and then move to the heavyweight division.
On October 5 in Las Vegas at UFC 320, Ankalaev will have a rematch with Alex Pereira. Their first encounter in March 2025 at UFC 313 ended with Ankalaev winning by unanimous decision. Ankalaev’s record is 20 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, and 1 no contest, while Pereira holds 12 wins and 3 losses.
