The final result was another notch in the win column for Ankalaev.<\/p>\n<p>At the post fight press conference, the Russian fighter, Ankalaev, eluded to what should be next for him:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTo be honest, I\u2019m not glad with my performance totally, because I expected him to make an entertaining fight, to strike more, but it is what it is. In my opinion, I deserve the title shot next. Because I am on an eight-fight winning streak and some of the fights I finished the guys, and I feel I&#8217;m ready.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his <a href=\"https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=kE62kSN42a8&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube podcast<\/a>, &#8216;Bad Guy Inc&#8217;, Chael Sonnen had this to say:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Magomed Ankalaev openly says I am not proud of that performance, that was not me at my best, I want a title shot next.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now, I don&#8217;t know anyone who has ever got a title shot after admitting that their performance wasn&#8217;t very good.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Continuing, Sonnen said:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It takes 2-3 times of saying I deserve a title shot, I&#8217;m next for a title shot. He&#8217;s not getting a title shot. If you go back historically, it takes 2-3 times of saying I deserve a title shot, I&#8217;m next for a title shot, 2-3 times of being told no, of dealing with rejection, of telling your same story. You get told no, you get a victory, you get told no, you get a victory, and now you have a platform, of dealing with rejection, of having success and eventually you get a title shot.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So when Magomed Ankalaev says I deserve a title shot right now, I&#8217;ve beaten 8 in a row, he&#8217;s not getting one, but he&#8217;s beginning the conversation. It&#8217;s just a process.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ankalaev is NOT getting a title shot next\u2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kE62kSN42a8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Chael Sonnen that Magomed Ankalaev doesn&#8217;t deserve a title shot next?
