Or maybe not, Ank shows him what actually MMA fight looks like.

He almost got KOd by Khalil, lol. Ank is way more technical and clean compared to Alex

styles makes fights u never know Izzy got outstriked by Sean

​@@Dfgdf91Khalil is a better striker than ank. Ank's defense is not great he just basically walks down opponents.

Ankalaev is fast and accurate, I think this match is very important for him, I think he will fight smart using/mixing wrestling more often and his striking as well.

Honestly, that fourth round. It's easily the best round I've seen. It's simply amazing. It compares very closely to Dustin vs. Islam

Sick burn

Thats what having a high level talent and hard work gives you. Not every fighter though that works really hard becomes successful you still need that exceptional talent.

Yeah doesn't seem to have much power in his right hand.

​@@theinvertedprotagonistcasual lmao he set the punch record with his right, he just uses his left because its the lead hand and easier to land clean with. he also has 60%+ of his pro kickboxing KO's by right hand

Easy win for Alex

No man i believe this time would be something else

the only 2 people who i think can beat him are the ones who are praising him (tom aspinall and jon bones). the last one to underestimate him is called jamahal.

they submit him, like quemuel ottoni

Izzy sent Alex to shadow realm

He has done "nothing" but train grappling and takedown defense. Great take there, buddy

Ankalaev is very opportunistic, and also hard to hit but POATAN is a different animal, there is always a chance but this is such a high level fight

@@trevorfurusa3102Remember to delete your comment after Poatan knocks out Ankalaev

@@Mma-jp9ky How is that correlated to my point? I never said anything about who would win/lose. I’m saying why would you assume that all he has been doing is training is take down defence. Fangirl mentality is immature. Just enjoy the sport my dude, your guy can lose too. He lost 3 rounds to Rountree according to the judges

​@@trevorfurusa3102they are brazilian so stop debating with them. U don't debate fan boys Izzy knocked out him but for his fan boys nobody can touch him

Didn’t you see Alex said jiri was “very good” not warrior?

It's foolish to underestimate Alex.

He has decent striking but he’s not as explosive as Khail and that’s what you need to throw off pereira

Ankalaev is over rated

@@Plaitonic He hasn’t lost in seven years. It’s his grappling that makes him an anomaly for Alex- he has world-class wrestling and submissions.

its too late for ankalaev, poatan has improved takedown defense and grappling a ton, once his takedowns attempts gets defended it's over

Casuals don’t realize that this is actually a nightmare match up for Ank

I think there was a perception that the UFC was keeping Ankalaev away from Pereira. I'm not sure we're really in that sort of territory yet (unlike HW, ahem ahem). That said, it's time for this fight, and I'm here for it. Honestly I am having trouble making a pick, I'm just going to lean back and enjoy it.

Au contraire mon ami, It's "Poatan's "Bigfoot Silva" sized head that is going to become a KO liability.😂

​@@light-qe3gvFrancis yes but illia and aspinal, resort to grappling from time to time... Ilia shot last year against max and Aspinal against volk

@@Mmastrikes205 alex literally got flatlined by the dude who got outstriked by guys like sean, ddp and imavov. He isnt even top 5 strikers

@ and alex shot against izzy, so?

Yeah he does and the first fight with Izzy in mma already proved that. In terms of physical strength and power he always have that advantage for being a really big guy and a giant. He is really a heavweight fighting guys below his actual weight class and size. I hope he goes to HW and face Tom Aspinall where the playing field is equal makes a really interesting fight. No one wanted to see a giant (Alex) fighting smaller guys that just doesnt look right.

In Ank's defense he really should've gotten the nod vs. Jan and he wrestled quite well.

Eh not really. Jiri n Hill both lack fundamentals. It shows how weak the division is that these 2 are on top

​@@BrandonKMMA yeah but Alex faced Jan and more.

​@@ahmadjauhar4562 oh really, why don't you fight them and show ? Jiri and Hill are still 100 times better than the opponents Ankalaev faced . So yes significant difference in the calibre of opponents. Ankalaev spammed straight lefts all fight and barely did any damage to Rakic, Jiri finished Rakic . Johnny Walker is a showpiece there for getting knocked out by everyone, Hill's performance against Walker was much better than Ankalaev. Anthony washed Smith isn't considered by anyone. The only one good opponent Ankalaev ever faced was Jan.

​@@chaithanyagowda3130 jiri blocks punches with his face. You cant blame the other guy for saying he lacks fundamentals. Plus dude is smaller compared to poatan.Hill also makes silly mistakes in fights

U can see jiri wants to smile . He loves the sport 😂

not only that, he had the flu. poatan at 100% is very deadly. i see him flatlining ankalaev within 4 rounds

So you guys must’ve forgotten about Silva 😂

In the middleweight division Poatan loses a lot of weight and this affects his chin.

Yeah man. It's actually Insane how much power Alex generates with his jab.

@@user-vb1bl6qw8b ank is a striker why would he wrestle. Alex literally got flatlined by a mw with zero boxing

@@light-qe3gvget a life bro this is the 3rd time I seen your name in the comments

@@benjichillin5226 that means I spend time researching mma unlike the casuals

​@@light-qe3gv Most of Ankalaev's opponents are sub par strikers/ brawlers with little to no counter abilities, the one time he fought a good striker in Jan who fought with good basics without overextending, although having little counter abilities was still able to nearly get a leg damage finish against Ankalaev and what did the "striker" Ankalaev did? Yeah he shot double legs for the dear life of him. Pereira has good basics, rarely overextends(unless he senses a finish which is always a double edged sword) on his offense, has better precision and accuracy in his offense, better setups and counters for sneaking in his power hook, and more power than Jan. Can Ankalaev put him away? Sure, but so can Alex and he has more of that chance than anyone Ankalaev has ever faced so mixing up is a way more effective strategy in this fight rather than fighting with the ignorant mindset of "A MW put him away on the feet so I definitely will"

@@light-qe3gv dude, how much money did you lose betting against perreira?

Will see

In dream

Ты че несешь? У Анкалаева больше боёв в ufc, чем у Алекса за всю мма карьеру. Анкалаев обладатель пояса другой лиги. Алекс это кикбоксер, вот он действительно переоцененый, и стойка у него кикбоксера а не универсала. Теперь вы увидите как Алекс будет избегать сближения в бою с Анкалаевым😅.

Дана сделал из кикбоксера Алекса бойца мма и подбирал для него бойцов. Из за бразильской фан базы, он работает ради публики.

Exactly

U don't really need khabib or Islam's ground game to dominate pereira ON THE GROUND. Even Izzy looks like khabib on top of Pereira

Причем тут Махачев вообще? Анкалаев это самородок своего рода . Ему не нужны навыки Ислама . Вы заладили со своим Махаче

ankleav can have makachec in the octagon with him. Poatan would smoke them both.

@@mrannymus Alex will ko Magomed. Easy win for Pereira

Yeah because the UFC messed up. Magomed Ankalaev got robbed.

@@GrubKiller436 IMO draw was fair. Jan won 3 rounds 30-27 or more even when Ank got 10-8 in the last 2. Still, it's odd they don't put his most important fight to date regardless of the fiasco.

@@Koraxus Even Jan himself admitted after the fight "give him his belt." These guys are the one in the octagon. They know who won and who didn't. If the judging criteria cannot accurately represent the winner, then it needs to be changed altogether. It makes zero sense to say a draw is fair. Neither fighters thought that fight was a draw.

@@GrubKiller436 He said he needed to rewatch the fight and just wanted to be diplomatic. When he did, he said he won. It was close because his cardio gave up and he looked like a turtle in his back for the last 2 rounds. But the first 3 rounds he was overwhelming Anka.

@@Koraxus Who they are at the end of the fight is the true version of themselves. Jan felt like AT LEAST a loser. If he wanted to be diplomatic, he would've never butt into the Magomed Ankalaev interview after the fight and grab the microphone and say "give the belt to him." He showed his true, raw colors. And you are denying that fact. That is not feeling like you won. That is not even feeling like there was a draw. A draw means nobody gets the belt. He literally said "give him the belt." Meaning it was at least a draw or Ankalaev won. He also said from his own words "I don't know if I lost, but I know I did not win." Sure, you can argue Jan won first three rounds. That doesn't mean the last two round can't outweigh what happened in the first three rounds. Which they did. Since this is "a sport" which you can include your flawed point system in, you can argue there is a draw. But this isn't just a sport. This is a fight. It's not just about scoring points, it's about bashing the other dude's face in, dominating, and knowing and feeling who was the better man that night. Getting dominated isn't just points. It's knowing a guy's better than you. And in that moment, in terms of an actual fight, Jan knew Magomed was better than him.

Ankalev can't resist Alex kicks and punches

Think against jones is tough

Pereira versus Blaydes??? You want to see Alex get wrecked?

​@ApocalypticSignsngl bro ain't no damn curt stopping Chama bro you blowing me.

Santos? Rakic? Smith ? lol what a racist

​@mdm9096 Smith isn't even top 10 lol, and Ank barely beat rakic by decision(one of the most boring high profile lhw fights in recent history).

Also santos was on a three fight loose streak when ank beat him, so i don't really see your point. The only top 10 fighter he has ko'd, tko'd or submitted is Johnny walker and the only top ten fighter he's beaten by decision is rakic lol

True but in this case the level difference is too strong. If alex were a worse striker or ankalaev on of these top level Dagestani...

This is low-tier logic.

Tom can neutralize that and will be a battle of two super-sized ninjas.
