Ankalaev has been on a twitter rampage.
Anakalaev vs. Pereira
Majored Ankalaev is coming off of a decision win over Aleksandar Rakic just a week ago at UFC 308. Many believe Ankalaev has long deserved a UFC light heavyweight Championship opportunity since he’s been on a 13 fight unbeaten streak since 2018. Still he hasn’t gotten the chance. Now, Dana White himself has said Ankalaev is next, but when?
Well, UFC 310’s main event was scrapped due to injury, causing Belal Muhammad to pull out of his fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov. Immediately, fans jumped on the opportunity to tell Alex Pereira to step in on short notice like he has multiple times in the past. Alex even teased for UFC to call him after posting a phone emoji in their pull-out announcement post.
Majored Ankalaev has since said that’s ‘fake news’ and Alex doesn’t really want to fight. He’s now continuing to make posts on X targeting Alex and even saying “I promise all my friends I’m going to punish this guy I will knock him out Inshallah” as well as various other tweets such as, “Focus on MMA voodoo is not gonna help you my son”
“I was offered three dates December, February, and March and I agreed to all three dates I have to win by KO I have no problem. It is condition.”, “Willing to fight everyone short notice but with me, he knows he have to be ready he’s not stupid” and “I live in the mountain. This guy lives in Connecticut.”
For the most part, Alex Pereira has stayed quiet on the matter, outside of the phone emoji. It’s only a matter of time for when the fight will be made.
