“There is no more Chama, we killed it,” Ankalaev said during Thursday’s presser. “Them booing me doesn’t mean they don’t like me. The reason is, I keep beating their favorite fighters and they’re just mad at me. I can’t do nothing about it. The reason he became a champion is because I wasn’t there and now I’m here. I’m going to put a stamp on this on Saturday, beat him again and then all the questions will be answered.”
“For this fight, I’m gonna go Alex Pereira,” former “Poatan” opponent, Israel Adesanya, said on YouTube. “But it’s not gonna be an easy fight, based on the first fight, from what I’ve seen. It’s easier said than done, but I think Alex can do it. I’m gonna go ‘Poatan’ by (decision) in this fight. He’s more motivated. He hasn’t lost that light heavyweight (title) and had that fire, where it’s like, “F—k man, I’ve gotta get this back.’ It’s something different when you want to get back.”
