Ankalaev wins again, more convincingly
Round 1 ko for pierraAnkalaev wins again, more convincingly
No. I guarantee if Ank wins it won't be easier than the first fight. But I'm calling right now, round one KO by AlexBig Ank via decision or possibly round 2 or 3 KO/TKO.

Alex had Norovirus. It's not the same. Alex Pereira is the silent killer in those underground cards whose pattern to domination is getting clearer now. I'm frustrated because I want to see it already but Alex has gone through the fire already. He is strongly rumored to have fought 4x since March. Look at Alex's clothes saying Kayla Harrison. The job is done.Perhaps, it is not as easy, which is why I am also split between decision and KO/TKO. That is my prediction. Feel free to disagree. I predicted in the first fight that Big Ank was going to win. I am predicting again, Big Ank will win. Anklaev is in his prime, much younger, much faster. His striking simply put Poatan in the zone where he has never been especially on the back foot. He will send Poatan into retirement.
I mean, it's Alex stone faced again. And don't forget, he and Illia share similar things. From the patterns I'm seeing, my bet is on round 2 or round 3 KO by Alex via flying knee or head kick and then he'll call JJ by besting the winner of Gane vs Aspinall. Likely Tom. As Tom is apprehensive about Alex... My bet is round 4 KO vs Tom. It's not coincidence that some places are giving Alex Pereira as the goat already

Yes, because the job is doneYeah, whatever. Excuses and more excuses. The guy was dancing with women just days before. He was fooling around with Nina drama just before the fight kicking her in the a** while laughing. He was grappling with Texeira a little while before the fight. The guy was partying up the whole time and I commented on it before the fight.
But, yeah sure he had all of those excuses after the fight to disrespect Big Ank's win. Fact is, no one has ever been able to put Pereira on the back foot. He is used to pressuring his opponent and marching forward. Big Ank is the first one who negated that pressure especially with the takedown threat. I am sure you must be hoping now that Pereira was able to defend takedowns, he would be able to march forward on a much younger, hungrier, faster and just as big/strong as him? Absolutely no way.
It might potentially be a bit more competitive, but Big Ank will end up getting a decision or KO/TKO Pereira in later rounds.
Sorry... It's not the UFC 's wish... Alex is a different kind of beast. You will be all blown out by the outcome and it's gonna be nastyAnkalaev embarrasses Pereira again. UFC's dreams of Pereira at HW as champion vanish. Fans whine it was close fight.
No it won't. There's a reason for all the hesitance on Tom. Alex is the real assassin. Tom is no match for Alex in any kind of way, shape and form the same way Jiri was not ...Huh? Tom submits Pereira before Alex can even figure out how to deal with Aspinall. It will be so one sided, it won't even be funny.
Highly unlikelyRound 1 ko for pierra
This is a deeply unhinged hot takeTom is no match for Alex in any kind of way, shape and form the same way Jiri was not ...
Yes, and how unlikely it may be, Alex isn't reasonable. He is going on a tear again. He is 38 with the shape of a 30 yo. There's a reason Tom is saying he's close to the end. Alex is chill. He has one final opponent in Jones. Alex Pereira has been doing some crazy shitHighly unlikely
Ankalaev is in his prime and has never been knocked out. Pereira is closing in on 40.
