In the search for title challengers, Magomed Ankalayev returned to using his social networks to promote the light heavyweights (up to 93kg). After having clearly avoided responding to a request for Jailton Malhadinho to confront him, the Russian accused Alex Poatán of no longer wanting immediate revenge and sent a message to Dana White and his ally.
"Alex Poatán doesn't want Ank anymore. Let's leave him alone because I don't bully. Fake Ninja (Jiri Prochazka) said he has to go back to school because he can't read. Dana White, Mick Maynard, give me some fish,” Ankalaev wrote on his official X account.

In response to the statement, internet users, mostly Brazilian, joined forces to provoke the Russian and recall the challenge made by Malhadinho. Despite all the action, the current light heavyweight champion continues to express no interest in measuring his strength against the fighter from Bahia in the octagon.

Without commenting on any interest in facing Ankalaev next, Poatan continues to attend extracurricular commitments, indicating that he is not worried about any provocation carried out by his last tormentor. The expectation was that the athletes would face each other in August, but the event of the month has already been filled with Dricus Du Plessis x Khamzat Shimaev.
