Fedor Emelianenko Backs Magomed Ankalaev to Regain UFC Light Heavyweight Title

MMA legend Emelianenko expressed confidence that fellow Russian Ankalaev will reclaim UFC gold after losing it against Alex Pereira via KO on 5 October. “I believe he can do it again. He’s very gifted and not loudmouth,” Fedor said. Ankalaev captured the belt in March against Pereira but never defended it before dropping the title in his first scheduled defense.
