Analyst Calls for Ankalaev-Ditcheva Trade Ahead of UFC 320 Rematch
Magomed Ankalaev faces criticism ahead of his UFC 320 rematch with Alex Pereira. Analyst Brendan Schaub has questioned Ankalaev's interview skills and trash talk abilities, suggesting a trade for women's MMA star Dakota Ditcheva could benefit UFC financially.
Schaub believes Ankalaev's strength lies in his fighting prowess, but his interview skills and trash talk abilities are not as impressive. Schaub has proposed a trade: Ankalaev for Ditcheva. The British fighter is a former Muay Thai champion and one of the top flyweights in MMA, known for her striking skills. She is associated with American Top Team. The light heavyweight title rematch between Ankalaev and Pereira is set for October 5th.
Meanwhile, UFC has not commented on Schaub's proposal, focusing instead on the upcoming bout between Ankalaev and Pereira.
Ankalaev's skills in the octagon are undeniable, but Schaub's critique of his interview skills and trash talk has sparked conversation. UFC has not addressed Schaub's suggestion to trade Ankalaev for Ditcheva, keeping the focus on the highly anticipated rematch with Pereira on October 5th.
