Magomed Ankalaev , it seems, was pleased with Jiri Prochazka 's defeat at UFC 327, held last Saturday (11). On that occasion, the Czech faced Carlos Ulberg and ended up being knocked out in the first round, in a duel valid for the light heavyweight belt (up to 93 kg), a result that, according to the Russian, makes the 'Samurai' lose credibility in the organization.
In a post on 'X', Ankalaev adopted a provocative tone, stating that Prochazka should no longer mention him unless he was willing to face him, in addition to highlighting that he doesn't see any of the names in the division at his level and congratulating Ulberg on his victory.

"Jiri, never speak of me again. You can only speak of me if you want to fight; none of these guys are on my level. Congratulations, Carlos," wrote Magomed Ankalaev.
In another post, the Russian reinforced his criticism by reminding everyone that the Czech fighter was knocked out in three of his last six fights, indicating that he no longer wants to see him involved in discussions over the light heavyweight belt.
"Prochazka has been knocked out in three of his last six fights. I don't want to hear his name mentioned in the title picture anymore, enough is enough," wrote the former champion.
Jiri will never talk about me again. You only can talk about me if you want to fight none of these guys are my level congratulations, Carlos
