Hill may fight Magomed Ankalaev next

While Hill had called out Jiri Prochazka for his next fight after his win over Teixeira, Prochazka is currently unavailable to fight because of his injury. Prochazka was injured in a training session and has been recovering since. While Prochazka recovers, Hill thinks Magomed Ankalaev is a worthy opponent.

Ankalaev, on the other side, was not happy with the decision he got against Jan Blachowicz. Ankalaev thought the split-draw decision had robbed him of a win.
