"Ankalaev dominantly defeated Pereira on the ground for five rounds to win the light heavyweight title in their first meeting at UFC 313 last year."
"Pereira exacted revenge in their rematch, knocking out Ankalaev in just 80 seconds at UFC 320."
"Prochazka has been stopped in two title fights against Pereira but has rebounded with finishes over Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree."
Jiri Prochazka does not support Magomed Ankalaev's inclusion in the light heavyweight title picture following Ankalaev's recent loss to Alex Pereira. Prochazka asserts that Ankalaev needs to demonstrate his capability to compete at the highest level again. Prochazka is set to fight Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327, while Ankalaev, despite being the only fighter to defeat Pereira at light heavyweight, has been excluded from the title fight. Prochazka has rebounded from his losses to Pereira with notable victories.
