Present in Las Vegas (USA) to carry out the long-awaited rematch at UFC 320, this Saturday (04), Alex Poatán e Magomed Ankalayev continue to experience moments of tension after the episode at the Performance Institute. This time, both fighters were invited to attend the Contender Series that took place on Tuesday night (30) and were relatively close during the event.
A UFC security guard was called to stand by Poatan during the show, but according to footage released by the UFC, the fighters apparently didn't threaten to cause any disturbances during the broadcast. Accompanied by his manager and coach, Ankalaev spoke normally and avoided eye contact with his rival.

In reaction to the published video, internet users were thrilled with the moment starring the athletes who will headline UFC 320.
“The tension is in the air, this is something out of a movie,” said one fan.
“If those guys decide to fight, poor security guard”
“So I ask you, is just one enough?”
In a recent meeting, the fighters used a translator on their cell phones to communicate. At the time, Poatan promised to openly punch the Russian and questioned why his rival didn't maintain a provocative stance in person. The athletes will face off again in the octagon this Saturday (04), in the main fight of UFC 320.
