I had a feeling Ankalaev was going to win quickly against Johnny Walker, and now I think his next match is going to be against Alex Pereira.
He improved a lot in last few years but I dont think he is on the same level with Pereira yet, so maybe Dana pairs him with winner of Prochazka vs Rakic first.
One more tune-up fight before Alex Pereira seems right and it will be one of the best fights we will ever have this time because both are strong fighters and we won't know who will gonna win. I hope they will gonna see each other inside the Octagon soon this year since they are the face of UFC nowadays after winning their last fights flawlessly. If only they could actually make it as fast as they can like before, we won't gonna wait for too long for that to happen but they are now following the Boxing way of resting their fighters and giving them enough time to recover and get ready for their next opponent.
