Nobody doubts Magomed Ankalaev's ability to face challenges in the UFC octagon and to overcome them successfully. However, an interview with Nina Drama, the famous UFC journalist, who asks fighters some tricky and hilarious questions, seems to be a hurdle extremely difficult to deal with for the Russian fighter. In a previous conversation with Nina, Magomed was asked whether believes in chivalry - whether he opens doors for his wife, whether he protects her feet by putting his raincoat on the ground so her feet do not get wet when it is raining. Ankalaev's answer upon that question was priceless - ''I would protect her from a tiger or a wolf but I would not protect her feet!'' - upon which Nina Drama started laughing uproariously.
Magomed Ankalaev is headlining the UFC Fight Night event in Abu Dhabi on July 25, 2026 where he will be facing the Uzbek Bogdan Guskov.
