It’s exhausting responsible Pereira if he doesn’t find yourself taking the battle in December. “Poatan” had a 2024 run that noticed him save UFC playing cards by accepting late-notice fights. If he had been to just accept the battle with Ankalaev and win, then he would possibly lock up “Fighter of the Yr” simply when followers thought Ilia Topuria stole it.
Ankalaev is definitely the deserving primary contender. He’s additionally no stranger to title fights, having had a cut up draw towards Jan Blachowicz again in 2022. Whereas White was none too happy about that bout, he informed reporters that he was impressed by Ankalaev’s efforts towards Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 308.
