Quick read
Analyst Chael Sonnen expressed strong criticism regarding Magomed Ankalaev not being included in the vacant light heavyweight title fight. Sonnen pointed out that Ankalaev has a 1-1 record with Alex Pereira and is the only fighter in the top tier who has actually defeated Pereira, yet was not even considered for the championship bout. Sonnen questioned why the title fight excludes Anthony Smith, Jamahal Hill, and Ankalaev, arguing that neither Prochazka nor Ulberg are the right participants. He stated the storyline for the current title fight is so weak that no one is even discussing the absence of more deserving contenders.
