Magomed Ankalaev has sent a frightening message to fans prior to the UFC 313Vet this weekend.
The Russian light-heavyweight Ankalaev is the last major challenger for the light-heavy title of Alex Pereira after wiping out the majority of his top five within a four-fight run of 11 months. It is believed that it can only be neutralized by a top grappler such as Ankalaev.
Pereira has become famous for his slogan 'Chama', but his challenger insists that he will put an end to the meme this weekend.
Magomed Ankalaev sends Chilling Alex Pereira Warning for UFC 313
During the pre-Vecht press conference last night for UFC 313, Magomed Ankalaev succeeded in finally touching each other with Alex Pereira. The Russian has been chased to his title shot for years and was able to come to the belt in Vegas last night.
Ankalaev has been striving for months to Pereira since his last victory made him a clear number one competition. But he was put on the rear by a loud audience that held out every word and showed their love to the champion.
“I would like to say that in this fight I see that everyone is against me,” Ankalaev said to the crowd in a horrifying explanation. “Everyone says” Chama! Chama! Chama! “But guess? Chama -time is over.
“After this Saturday evening, after the fight, you will all love me. The same people who now say that Chama is not going to say Chama now! It is the time of Ankalaev. “
Alex Pereira has had an incredible run as champion of the light-heavyweight
The run that Alex Pereira has made since he switched to light heavyweight is one of the most remarkable in modern UFC history. He sprinted through the middleweight division to a shot at Israel Adesanya in 2022 and won gold within one year of signing the promotion.
However, when he lost his belt in their rematch, 'Patan' decided to go up and challenge for the belt in light heavyweight. After a victory of the razor at the former champion Jan Blachowicz, he continued to Jiri Prochazka, which he displayed in Madison Square Garden in November 2023.

From there, he was fleeing the 205LB division for your life. He stepped up in the short term to save both UFC 300 and UFC 303, first eliminating Jamahal Hill before he won a rematch against Procazka in even more dominant way.
He then defended the Riem against number seven competition Khalil Routree JR on UFC 307 in October, at which point Ankalaev Aleksander Rakic defeated. This was perhaps the most difficult test of Pereira's title so far, only 11 months after his first defense.
