Magomed Ankalaev is pursuing alternative opponents after his preferred matchup for UFC 317 was declined. The event, scheduled for June 28, lacks a main event featuring a title defense. Despite complications surrounding his potential opponent Alex Pereira, Ankalaev remains ready to defend his title. The situation escalated as rumors swirled about Pereira's dissatisfaction with the UFC, which he claimed was due to a hacked account. Ankalaev openly questions Pereira's claims, indicating tension and uncertainty ahead of the upcoming event.
I was offered to fight Alex [at] International Fight Week, if the man don't want it let's move on. I'm ready for everyone. I dare you.
The only thing was hacked. It's Alex's brain. He's not a champion anymore. I'm waiting for you. Don't worry.
