Dan Hooker Citing Magomed Ankalaev Hails Dagestani Fighters’ Diplomatic Approach

Hooker praised, “They play the game better than anyone… very respectful with their trash talk. Ankalaev even acknowledged Carlos Ulberg as the rightful next contender. That’s about as wild as they get.” It’s not just him, Dagestani fighters like Khabib and Islam Makhachev also avoid trash talk. Now the champion defends his LHW belt for the first time at UFC 320 against Pereira.
