Magomed Ankalaev challenges Jiri Prochazka to fight

Magomed Ankalaev has surprisingly issued a callout to former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka. The challenge came as unexpected to observers, with some speculating humorously that Ankalaev took control of his own social media account away from his manager Ali Abdelaziz to make the statement. Prochazka is coming off a recent loss to Carlos Ulberg. The matchup between Ankalaev and Prochazka would be a significant light heavyweight contender bout if it comes to fruition.
