Media Bragging Rights: Pereira vs Ankalaev- Who wins and how?

[gentel]

This can only be determined by how effective Ankalaevs wrestling , if existent, is.

He's not another Khabib just because he's from Dagestan but he still has more wrestling skill than anyone else at LHW. He was getting the takedowns on Jan and smashing him R4 and R5, just his fight IQ was so low that he waited until then to wrestle

 

[DecisionSplit]

I'll be the one guy to predict draw. Just because Ank drew with Jan. And there is the option for no contest because of the high number of eye poke fouls.

 

[vry pwrful]

Alex left hook 1 minute left in round 1

 

[RoseHDCovington]

Ankles wins by 3rd round finish. Sub or tko (I think tko gnp).

I could see it on the feet too but GnP 3rd. (Maybe 4th)

Pereira via decision…

Ankalaev is a tough guy and has shown he has what it takes to go 25 minutes, but I don’t think he beats Pereira.

 

[BowserJr]

Heart says Alex by KO
Brain says Ank by decision or late TKO

 

[BullyKutta]

I think Alex puts him out.

I don't remember who Ankalaev fought last time, but I DO remember it being an underwhelming affair. Ankalaev REALLY needs to lean on grappling if he's going to get the job done, but he needs to close the distance first.

If it were anyone else, I'd favor Ankalaev, but Alex is a gorilla. He just needs to land once.

Poor Ankalaev's legs are going to be hamburger if this happens.

For his sake, he probably takes LESS damage with an early TKO.

Alex has proven me wrong every single time. His power is as lethal as prime Rumble.

 

[forsh]

All I gotta say is that Ankalaev had better wrestle his ass off. By the way....how the hell is Pereria the betting underdog? That makes no sense at all.

 

[orca]

No chance.

he could mount him and gnp him with strikes

 

[RichardHarrow]

he could mount him and gnp him with strikes

Here’s to hoping !

 

[pick999]

Alex by ko 1st round

 

[RoseHDCovington]

he could mount him and gnp him with strikes

That's my guess. 3rd round.

Rakic. Yes it was underwhelming.

 

[Kertol]

Ankalaev wins by KO

 

[Contempt]

Going with Poatan by round 3 or 4 KO stoppage.

I think Ank might give him problems early on, but if Alex weathers that storm he eventually finds his range and clobbers him.

I think this is the most likely outcome... after a LOT of brutal leg kicks.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

I feel like Alex will land that KO shot. But it's so hard to say with his grappling if he'll just get gimped.

Likewise, Ank's striking is really good too. Could def land a big shot while Alex is worried about staying vertical.

I'll go Poatan by KO, but I wouldnt bet on it.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Not happy ank tko round 4 ground and pound. Hopefully Alex left hook

 

[omawho402]

Magomed TKO punches ground and pound.
