Daniel Cormier previews the Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev clash at UFC 313

Alex Pereira will look to defend his title for the fourth time when he takes on Magomed Ankalaev in the main event of UFC 313. The upcoming pay-per-view will take place on March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Daniel Cormier recently claimed that Ankalaev might be Pereira's most challenging test yet in an episode of the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast, saying:

''We all know Pereira has tremendous leg kicking ability. We’re going to see that guy [Ankalaev] that fought round four and five against Blachowicz. Especially as they’re watching their video footage and seeing that Blachowicz was able to hold Pereira down for extended periods of time. Pereira better get home. He needs to get home right now and make sure he’s locked in because he does have the hardest fight of his title reign to this point, I think.” [H/t: MMA Fighting]
