In a pure striking match, Pereira would murder Ank

Ank looked better on the feet and I might believe this if Perreira did literally anything all fight. Also, even if he is worried about the takedown you can still strike freely for the minute of a round because the bell will save you. But he did nothing whatsoever.
 
People don't understand how good Ank actually is. He consistently fought against dangerous guys IN THEIR FACE pressuring. All thorough his fights he never feared such fire fight, if anything he excels in it. What you saw against Poatan was simply what he did against other opponents, he fearlessly took on the challenge and went into dangerous guys face while all the other guys were fearful against Poatan.
 
But they are saying Ank is the superior striker🤣

Poatan was worried about the takedowns

Now that he saw it is not a big thing, expect a brutal KO in the rematch
Why do you feel the need to make a "They" thread.
Nobody of any credibility is saying Ank is the better striker in a pure striking match.
Just like nobody of any credibility would say Alex stopped the TDs so he would clearly win in a pure grappling match.

Alex vs Ankaelev wasn't a striking match and it wasn't a grappling match. It was an MMA match.

If you think Alex won't need to worry about the TDs in a rematch you are dumb. That would be about as smart as Ank not worrying about Alex's striking since he couldn't KO him.
 
There's not a man alive at his weight that could beat prime Conor (his training up to the Floyd fight) at a pure striking match. His boxing at that point was too good for any kickboxer to deal with, and his kicking game too much for any boxer to deal with. People say Petrosyan but there's no way since he mainly boxes.
 
let's see fam let mandem become pro Strikers pon di slap stage mirror pon di wall who di realest of dem all 🗿🪞🦉

 
Had no idea Pereira and Ankalaev fought. Good to see Ankalaev win.

Imagine what the UFC would look like if they didn't focus on signing stand and bang Contender Series cans and also went after the best wrestlers/grapplers in the world....
