❌ Rakhmonov: Ankalaev is not given a title fight, it is not profitable for the UFC to have five Russian champions
Undefeated Kazakh UFC fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov spoke about the situation of Russian light heavyweight Magomed Ankalaev in the American promotion.
“Ankalaev is good, but for some reason they don’t give him [бой за титул]. The UFC has its own strategy. Do you understand? It is also not convenient for them to have five or six champions from Russia or another country. “This is a global organization, it has its own policy and that is why they do not give it,” Rakhmonov said in an interview with the “MMA Bulletin” YouTube channel.

🔮 Alexander Volkanovski gave a prediction for the Whittaker-Chimaev fight
“I would bet that Whittaker will win. I don’t understand at all how he is the loser in this fight. I don’t deny that Chimaev is a very good fighter, but Robert will be fully prepared for this fight, I assure you. The first round, of course, will be difficult for Whittaker, because Chimaev is always very good at the beginning, but then he will pick up the keys,” Volkanovski said in an interview with the YouTube channel Submission Radio.
