Rematch between Poatan x Ankalaev
The rematch between Poatan and Ankalaev takes place seven months after the first fight, held at UFC 313, in March of this year, where the Russian won the belt with a unanimous decision victory.
At the time, the fight was marked by a cautious pace and defensive strategies, which generated criticism, including from UFC president Dana White.
Determined to correct past mistakes, Alex stated that he is confident and focused on returning "much better" for the new challenge. Meanwhile, Ankalaev remains firm and is betting that the fight this time will be even more favorable to him.
