at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with another title fight in the co-main event.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter beating Pereira via unanimous decision at UFC 313 when they fought earlier this year, Ankalaev is putting his UFC Light-Heavyweight Title on the line in their rematch.<\/span><\/p>\nSince their first fight, both Pereira and Ankalaev have gone back and forth on social media, which made it fairly awkward when the pair crossed paths at the UFC Performance Institute recently.<\/span><\/p>\n‘Poatan’ has revealed that the 205-pound champion was hiding from him at the UFC PI, stating that he was scared to bump into the Brazilian:<\/span><\/p>\n“He was hiding. The guy [Ankalaev] hid in a little room, man. The fact the guy hides in a room because I\u2019m in the same place as him, ah man, he’s a chump. He\u2019s a chump,”<\/span><\/i> Pereira told his YouTube channel.<\/span><\/p>\nAlthough Pereira is confident of winning back the UFC Light-Heavyweight Title at UFC 320, UFC betting sites have listed Ankalaev as the pre-fight favourite to make a successful first defence of his 205-pound belt.<\/p>\n
That being said, ‘Poatan’ is confident that their recent meeting has shown how the champion is afraid of him.<\/p>\n
