Magomed Ankalaev has issued a surprising challenge to Jiri Prochazka following Prochazka's knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327. The Russian light heavyweight contender called the recent fight "good" and extended the callout to the former champion. The timing of Ankalaev's challenge is notable given that Prochazka just suffered a devastating defeat and will likely need recovery time. The post humorously suggests that Ankalaev may have taken control of his social media account from his manager Ali Abdelaziz for this particular callout. Ankalaev is currently ranked in the top five of the light heavyweight division and has been seeking high-profile matchups.
