Magomed Ankalaev makes claim regarding possible Alex Pereira rematch

UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev has provided an update on a potential rematch against Alex Pereira.

As we know, Magomed Ankalaev is the king of the light heavyweight division. He earned that title as a result of beating Alex Pereira to claim the belt back at UFC 313. Ever since then, fans have been wondering whether or not we’re going to see these two men run it back for the championship at some point in the future.

However, things took another turn recently when Pereira tweeted his frustration with the UFC – before later claiming that he was hacked. Many have been wondering what exactly the reason was for him being so upset (unless it was an actual hack), but it felt like it would have something to do with his potential rematch against Ankalaev.

In a recent tweet, Ankalaev had a short and sweet message to send to his fans about what’s been going on.

I was offered to Fight Alex international fight week if the man don’t want it let’s move on I’m ready for everyone. I dare you.
