Magomed Ankalaev could get another title shot in 2023

Last December, after UFC welterweight champion Jiří Prochazka was injured and retired from the belt, Russian Magomed Ankalaev was given a great shot at the belt.

However, his title fight with the Pole Jan Blachowicz ended in a draw, and other fighters got a chance for the championship.

Nevertheless, according to his manager Rizvan Magomedov, our athlete can still get a title fight. And, this year.

“Ankalaev is again one step away from the title fight. He needs to fight one fight, show that he is, as the Americans say, a “real deal”, and it is likely that at the end of the year he will be allowed to fight for the title again,” the specialist explained.
