After capturing UFC gold and becoming the first Russian light heavyweight champion in company history, Magomed Ankalaev is preparing to defend his title. The 32-year-old was long considered a threat to Alex Pereira ‘s title reign as he bulldozed through several contenders on his way to champion status. The pair met back at UFC 313 on March 8, and despite it being a close affair, it was Ankalaev who earned the unanimous decision victory .
