Ankalaev pitches October Abu Dhabi stand‑and‑bang with Costa

After a disciplined win over Bogdan Guskov at UFC Abu Dhabi, Magomed Ankalaev said he’s the No.1 contender but with undisputed champ Carlos Ulberg sidelined by knee surgery, a fight with Paulo Costa could be a smart next step. Costa has aired contract frustrations but signaled openness to big fights, and Ankalaev floated a October showdown in Abu Dhabi if Costa is available, inviting a “stand and bang” clash that could keep the light‑heavyweight division compelling for fans and the UFC alike.
