Better striker Ankalaev or Roundtree??? Who do you guys think?

[Kertol]

Roundtree arguably won 2 rounds against Alex on the feet even dropping him. Quite reasonable to say Ankalaev is even a better striker than Roundtree.

Ankalaev would knock Rountree's ass out.

 

[Momentosis]

Completely different styles and Pereira fought a game plan to build up damage over time against Khalil.

It's always funny whenever people try to squeeze these types of threads in between a bunch of crazy new fight announcements.

More dangerous Rountree by far
Ankalaev significantly a better fighter.

There might be a Moldovan guy who disagrees with your first point.

R3 is much better

He wrestled him. Well with gnp.

If Ankalaev had no TD threat, he would get shredded in standup. I don't buy that this guy is such a great striker, he got lit up by Jan.

Rountree didn't drop Poatan wtf are you smoking

 

[Chagaev]

They both fought Cutelaba a few months distance from eachother. Sure, Rountree got better in the last few years, but still.

Ankalaev doesn't really have much in the way of big KO wins to support this.

He couldn't even hurt his opponent in his last fight despite outclassing him.... a guy coming off a KO loss to Jiri ...

 

[Karate Kid]

ankalaev easily and im glad to see a disliked ank get more recognition than rountree who is rated a bit too highly by most relatively speaking.

Jan hung with both Pereira and ultra prime Izzy in the stand-up, he's one of the better strikers in MMA!

 

[CieloLuce]

The styles are completely different. One them point fights and looks to utilize their technique to create openings.

Khalil uses athleticism, and raw power to get a finish.

Jan Obliterated Reyes, Who beat jones up on the feet. So If Jan can do ONE thing well, it's striking

True, but lets not act like he didn't spend most those fights like a D1 wrestler. It's mma so he does what he does, but he doesn't really like to stand unless he has a clear advantage there.

I still think the biggest part of his game is like Ankalaev where he threatens on the ground while striking, so I wouldn't say he'd be a top pure striker.

Maybe not the cleanest or most definitive, but he didn't drop to one knee for the troops like Covington.
