Ankalaev clearly defeated Jan imo...

[StanTheMan]

What? You haven't watched the fight then. The first round Ankalaev had the most significant strikes plus was pressuring Jan more. The second round was clearly Jan's. The third was close, the # significant strikes were even, but Jan had the most impact with the leg kicks, but again, close. The fourth round Ankalaev went in full on takedown and managed to take Jan down, landed several shots to the point that in the last 30 seconds of the round, they were even saying "I don't think the judge will stop yet because it's a championship fight, but that's nasty g&p" ... And in the fifth, he again got the take down and landed more than 14 hard short to Jan's face, almost had him in a submission, and Jan looked totally rocked and barely hanging up...


Like, how were 4th and 5th an Ank snoozer when he pieced Jan in the g&p over and over?? And in the first round, he had 5 higher # sig strikes, plus was the one on the pressure most times? Round 3 was a close round too, with Ankalaev pressuring more, tho the # sig strikes were equal (actually, Ank had one more than Jan), but the leg kicks still did, arguably, more damage... But still, Ankalaev lost only one round clearly, which was round 2. Round 1 it was somewhat close but he had the edge on the stats and on pressure and round 3 was close, too... But rounds 4 and 5 were definitely Ankalaev to the point the last round was the most dominant round from each fighter by far... And it almost had the fight stopped before the bell rung...

These cvnts always talk bollocks. If Big Time is a snoozer, I'd love to know what they think of Poatan after his duck and run performance. LOL

Ankalaev looking like he's on the verge of being finished via low kicks matters in a way that is not reflected in the stats. He clearly won 4 and 5 but 1-3 were all razor close. A margin of 1-5 significant strikes is only huge on Sherdog.

i think Ank won the presidential election in 2016 too.


God, yesterday the "ank is the best lhw champion of all time" and today this shit: this forum is like some 90s teenager girls magazine...

if not for the draw, ank would be on a 13 fight winning streak.

I recall live odds have Ank at -400 before the start of the 5th round where he 10-8 Jan. Notice how Jan landed 1 sig strike in the last two rounds. That’s after crippling Ank’s leg earlier in the fight. And all you hear is the narrative Ank inability of taking leg kicks instead of his toughness and resilience. Those who acknowledged the latter knew he would be champ one day.

Rewatching a fight isn't the same as watching for the first time

I thought it was Anik. Either way you look at the end of the fight where Ank was walking with his hands up and Jan laying there half dead.
