New UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev is the type of guy to make a statement without saying anything, as was the case coming out of UFC 313. Ankalaev claimed the 205-pound title from Alex Pereira this past Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Magomed Ankalaev didn't exactly wrestle the UFC light heavyweight title away from Alex Pereira, but he did manage to beat "Poatan" at his own game. Ankalaev is now the 205-pound champion after a surprising unanimous decision from the judges in Las Vegas following a very close five-round fight.

Alex Pereira is no longer the UFC light heavyweight champion after a grinding affair against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313.
