News Thiago Santos vs Magomed Ankalaev is in the works to headline a UFC Fight Night on March 19

I guess rakic ducked again, after Anthony smith pulled out Rakic vs Ankalaev was the clear fight to make against the Jiri Glover.

At least Ankalaev should rightfully be number one contender over Rakic if he wins this one
 
Damn, with shot knees Thiago has a tough test here...

I do think Ankalaev will stand with him for a while, though, out of pride if nothing else.

Dude like's to prove he can do everything, so...

Ankalaev will piece him on the feet. He’s a lot faster and more technical, plus Thiago doesn’t seem to have the power he once had

It's possible, but the path of least resistance is definitely taking this one down.

But like I say, I do see him standing with Thiago.
 
Dude why? Sometimes I don't like that the UFC keeps former contenders at the top so much. Ankalaev is on the verge of a title shot and Santos has only won one fight since getting his knees destroyed. Let him fight someone a little lower
 
Would have been quality matchmaking a couple years ago. still quality for Ankaev though.
 
Thiago better not try and technical strike with this guy.

He needs to blitz and throw hammers like when used to. It’s his best shot

Ducked? It's obvious now that we're getting Jan vs Rakic in March.
