Quick read
Chael Sonnen expressed strong criticism about Magomed Ankalaev not being included in the vacant light heavyweight title fight. Sonnen pointed out that Ankalaev has a 1-1 record against Alex Pereira and is the only fighter in the top contender group who has actually defeated Pereira, yet he wasn't even considered for the championship bout. Sonnen argued that the title fight lacks the most exciting fighter (Roundtree), the most intriguing (Jamal), and the most accomplished (Ankalaev). He stated that the current matchup has such a weak storyline that people aren't even discussing the absence of the right fighters, concluding that both participants in the title fight are the wrong choices.
