"Magomed Ankalayev He openly said that he wasn't proud of his performance and that he hadn't had the best day, but he asked for a chance at the title. I don't know anyone who has ever gotten an opportunity after admitting their performance wasn't very good. On average, you get two or three denials after winning a fight until you get a title shot. And, if you can get through all this, then you'll be able to compete for the title”, said Sonnen on his official 'YouTube' channel.
With the victory over Marreta in the judges' decision, Ankalaev achieved his eighth consecutive victory in the organization. Furthermore, the Russian also moved up two positions and reached fourth place at 93kg. The champion is the Brazilian Glover Teixeira, who defends the title against Jiri Prochakza in UFC 274.
