There is a lot on the line when Magomed Ankalaev fights next. The Dagestani light heavyweight has been very vocal about once again getting to fight for the belt, and with a win against Aleksandar Rakic, at UFC 208 in a few weeks, he will almost certainly challenge for the title next.

Many believe that Ankalaev, with his well-rounded game, could be the toughest opponent for Pereira at light heavyweight.
