Magomed Ankalaev, a fighter with only one UFC loss, back in 2018 to Paul Craig, presents a serious threat. This loss is the only one in his professional career, which shows how great a fighter he is.

Ankalaev could be very tricky for Pereira, especially if he decides to use wrestling and grappling, which would be a nightmare for Alex. If Alex manages to defeat this fighter, it would be a huge victory that would move him to the very top. Dana White emphasized that such a success could mean the first place in the "P4P" rankings:

"This is definitely the toughest fight for Alex so far. If he wins, he could be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world," said Dana White.

For Alex, this is an opportunity to show his strength and skill level, and a victory would certainly present an amazing chance for him. But even though this is a big test, Pereira must remain focused and aware that he has a difficult challenge ahead of him.
