Magomed Ankalaev feels ready for UFC gold. The UFC light heavyweight contender wants his shot at the title following his latest win inside the octagon. Ankalaev (17-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) defeated former title challenger Thiago Santos (22-9 MMA, 14-8 UFC) in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 203 in Las Vegas. The victory over Santos marked Ankalaev’s first main event in the company and also put him on an impressive eight-fight winning streak. And with that experience in his pocket, Ankalaev wants to take a crack at the belt. “It’s completely up to the UFC and my manager, but in my opinion, I deserve the title shot next because I’m on an eight-fight winning streak and some of the fights I finish the guys,” Ankalaev told reporters at the UFCFight Night 203 post-fight press conference
