Magomed Ankalaev Biography
Big Ank

A longtime stalwart of the light heavyweight division, it took an 11-fight winning streak in the UFC for Ankalaev to receive a title shot, and he made good on the opportunity, toppling future Hall of Famer Alex Pereira to win the belt. While Ankalaev lost the title in the rematch, he remains an elite threat at 205 pounds with his well-rounded game.
