How does a rematch go between Alex and this new guy ?

[Mcnugget]

I think basically ank used the threat of the takedown to win the standup battle.

It looked liek Alex didn’t really throw any of his full power or extend himself all the way either power lead hook things (hook punches)

So I think in a rematch what would happen is ank would immediately use his wrestling right off the bat. (Knowing th at Alex will have watched the footage and realize he should’ve been more aggressive)

What do you guys think

Ank wins again. Pereira cries again

 

[SamuraiBro]

Honestly pretty similar I reckon. Maybe a bit more activity from Alex on the feet and a little less takedown attempts by Ank. Split decision win.

 

[FrankDux]

The exact same way. Maybe a TKO if Alex isn't saved by the bell this time.

Big Ank said it. Poatan turned into a counter striker from a striker. It's up to Poatan if he walks forward, or backward, which stops the other fighter being able to work

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Could be like Shogun/Machida 2. Or maybe Shogun/Forrest 2.

 

[colorles]

He's not a "new guy". The only people that think that are people that have been watching mma for only a year or two and jumped on the Pereira bandwagon.

For that matter, no 32 year old man is a "new guy". If a tree falls in the woods and nobody heard it, it still fell.

Ank wins again. Pereira cries again

Pereira fans cry again and then claim they were never his fans.

Ankalaev wins but more clearly this time, I think he will be more confident in his striking since he rocked alex and didn't ever get hurt in the fight. You could see that ankalaev was a bit wary in round 1 and trying to feel things out which is why alex won the round by having more volume. In a rematch I think he starts the pressure from round 1 and wins clear 49-46

Poatan's chin is gone

If that was 15 seconds, not 5, he was getting Johnny Walker'd from the master of combat

I hope they do rematch, and if they do, you will see a completely different Poatan.
From jump Perriera looked like shit.

Not his first loss, he'll be back dusting fools in no time. Maybe take the weight more seriously next time instead of having to kill himself to make weight, and be the aggressor from the 1st bell.

If he gets KO'd, he gets KO'd, but laying back and counter striking isn't the way.

That said... there are a lot of miles on the old odometer... maybe it's enough.

 

[ElLunico]

Pereira gets KOed. Ank was much faster than him. If Pereira opens up more he gets clipped and KOed

 

[Mcnugget]

Pereira gets KOed. Ank was much faster than him. If Pereira opens up more he gets clipped and KOed

What do you mean

 

[JBJ was here]

Largely depends on whether Poatan has just plain gotten old, was poorly prepared for the first fight, or some combination of the two. If Poatan's just slowing down from age then the most likely result is a boring, uninspiring, but more convincing decision win for Ankalaev in the rematch. If something went wrong with Poatan's camp that can be fixed then the rematch is most likely a solid-to-dominant victory for Poatan. That said, I think it's likely that Poatan's largely wearing down from age but could be a chunk better prepared for a rematch, which is probably a worst case scenario resulting in a boring, uninspiring, and completely unconvincing decision win for one fighter or the other.
