Robert Whittaker Says Magomed Ankalaev May Never Get Another Title Shot

Middleweight Whittaker believes Ankalaev’s brutal light-heavyweight title loss to Pereira at UFC 320 could cost him another championship opportunity. “UFC don’t love the guy to begin with. So he’s going to have to work his way back up through the grinder that is the division,” Whittaker said. The ex-champ suggested Ankalaev’s slow style and marketability issues hurt his title prospects.
