Jiri Prochazka has stated that Magomed Ankalaev will need to prove himself worthy of fighting for the championship belt. The former light heavyweight champion's comments come as Ankalaev continues to campaign for a title opportunity. Prochazka himself is scheduled to fight Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 327. The Czech fighter's remarks suggest he does not view Ankalaev as having yet earned a clear path to championship contention. Further details on what Prochazka believes Ankalaev needs to demonstrate were not provided in the post.
