Quick read
Chael Sonnen has publicly criticized the UFC's decision to exclude Magomed Ankalaev from the vacant light heavyweight title fight. Sonnen pointed out that Ankalaev has a 1-1 record with Alex Pereira and is the only fighter who has actually beaten Pereira, yet wasn't even considered for the title bout. Sonnen argued that the current title fight lacks compelling storylines and questioned why fighters like Anthony Smith (the most spectacular), Jamahal Hill (the most intriguing), or Ankalaev (the most accomplished) weren't selected. He stated that both current participants are the wrong choices for the championship fight.
