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

[WoozyFailGuy]

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.

Good boxer but his kicking game is beyond basic.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Rountrees striking is savage, I feel he's improved a hell of a lot even since he KOd Saki.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

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

Poatan slipped getting too high up on his tippy toes, wasn't hurt, just got hit with a shot at the same time.

His knee never touched the ground, not a KD, as the stats will tell you.

Spot on

More dangerous but a worse fighter is a bit of a contradiction.

he did say it hurt him, it wasnt a slip.
he also said that kick hurt him too, that if he hadn't moved back to absorb the kick he would be down. He recover fast as fuck if not finished, Adesanya 1 he looked gone at the end of the first, went back and won round 2

Derrick Lewis is the most dangerous man in HW, there's bunch HWs who are better fighters than him,
Strickland poses "no danger" in a fight, yet he was champion and is a top fighter in the division

The danger would still have to come down to how many times I would be expected to lose to either one

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Rountree more raw power, Ankalaev more control/technique

 

[HHJ]

Difficult to say who wins, hopefully we get to see it someday!

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

ankalaev is better, rountree is fast but gasses quick, ank can keep up a consistent pace for 3 rounds or 5 rounds and is more measured with his strikes, he shut out rakic on the feet

How is he more dangerous than Aspinal?

He said he felt it when asked if he was legitimately hurt at the post fight press conference. Whatever that means

I think he was genuinely confusticated by that hit

I don't know what that word means but I think he was stunned by it as well. Unlike jiri who I don't think ever actually hurt Pereira despite what Joe Rogan says

He was probably the only guy i seen that consistently back Poatan up. He forced Poatan to the cage more than anyone else I seen in the first fight.

Poatan respected his pressure and knew jiri was dangerous. Doesn't mean he was ever rocked or stunned

he got briefly rocked and his legs looked wobbly in the early part of round 2, recovered quick though

Have seen the fight several times already and nah. I see no visible evidence he was rocked so unless he comes out as says himself that he then that's my opinion. It's like all those people claiming khabib was rocked in all those fights too

Jan is a great Striker

As if Jan is not a great striker. Jan outstruck Izzy.
