Magomed Ankalaev wasted no time going after Jiri Prochazka following Prochazka’s first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg in their vacant light heavyweight title fight at UFC 327.
Prochazka was stopped by Ulberg on Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami, and Ankalaev quickly turned the result into a callout, criticizing the former champion and drawing a firm line about future talk.
"Jiri never talk about me again. You only can talk about me if you wanna fight none of these guys are my level congratulation, Carlos," Ankalaev wrote, before doubling down on Prochazka’s recent skid.
"Prochazka been knocked out three of his last six fights. I don’t wanna hear his name anymore in the title picture enough is enough," he added, also taking aim at Prochazka’s approach against Ulberg: "Jiri Prochazka He kept kicking Carlos's legs. He did not show him any mercy. Fake."
Ankalaev, described as a former champion who lost his belt to Alex Pereira at UFC 320, ended his reaction by turning it into a direct challenge.
"@jiri_bjp let’s fight next I dare you to call me out."
