Magomed Ankalaev Eyes Heavyweight Move After Two More Light Heavyweight Fights

“I believe maybe two more fights, and I think I’ll move up to heavyweight,” Ankalaev said. The light heavyweight champion, who dethroned Alex Pereira earlier this year, also welcomed a potential clash with new middleweight champ Chimaev if he moves up: “If someone wants to test my weight class, I always say welcome.” Next, he’ll defend his belt in a Pereira rematch this October.
