UFC light heavyweight number three, Magomed Ankalaev, spoke about what prevented him from showing a bright performance and winning the vacant UFC championship belt in a confrontation with Jan Blachowicz.
“We did the best we could,” Ankalaev said in an interview with the NNT channel. “The fight was not too bright, but we got our victory. The judges decided not to give it to me and made a draw. I felt that I did everything to get the victory, but the decision was made by the judges, and nothing can be done about it. ”
“You can say that it was the worst camp in my life. I had a lot of injuries, but despite this, we agreed to perform. I think we’ve done enough to raise my hand.”
According to the Russian, the controversial judicial decision only added to his motivation and desire to win the championship belt of the strongest league in the world.
“On the contrary, it woke me up, I have even more desire, and I think that soon we will take this belt. I’m going to rest for a couple of weeks, recover, heal minor injuries, and then return to duty.
Recall that the remaining vacant UFC light heavyweight championship belt will be played in a duel between Glover Teixeira and Jamal Hill, who will head the UFC 283 tournament in Rio de Janeiro on January 21.
