Magomed Ankalaev Fought Alex Pereira at UFC 320 With a Broken Rib

Earlier, his manager Abdelaziz hinted that Ankalaev entered with a preexisting injury. Now, Journalist Guimaraes, sharing a video of him getting his ribs treated before the rematch, said, “Part of the team tried to prevent him from competing, but the decision was not unanimous.” Pereira’s early body shots worsened the injury, causing a 1st-round KO loss as Pereira reclaimed the title.
