Magomed Ankalaev is establishing himself as the dominant force in the light heavyweight division, regardless of public opinion.
While he may not reach the same level of fame as Alex Pereira, whom he recently defeated to claim the championship at UFC 313, Ankalaev’s undefeated streak of 14 fights since 2018 speaks for itself. Fans and critics may have to accept his presence in the spotlight.
The response to Ankalaev’s victory has been lukewarm, with their five-round battle lacking standout moments and Pereira’s reign ending quietly. A rematch between the two fighters is a possibility, with hopes for a more exciting showdown.
Despite the mixed reactions, UFC 313’s main event generated a lot of buzz, and you can read some of the most interesting commentary below.
