Jiri Prochazka says Magomed Ankalaev was clearly compromised at #UFC320

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Jiri Prochazka noticed something off with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320.

Prochazka (32-5) was in attendance when Ankalaev (20-2) put his light heavyweight title on the line in a rematch against Alex Pereira at UFC 320. Pereira walked Ankalaev down, dropped him, and finished the contest with elbows and punches in just 80 seconds.



Prochazka noticed an entirely different Ankalaev than the one who dominated Pereira over five rounds to win the title at UFC 313 this past March.

“I saw him [pushing] himself back, a little step back. I saw he’s not right, something’s wrong,” Prochazka told MMA Fighting. “He was so careful, not like last time [when he was] going forward, up and down, changing levels, self-confidence. He was a totally different person there.”

In the aftermath of UFC 320, Ankalaev’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, claimed that the fighter was not in his best shape. Videos have since surfaced of Ankalaev’s undergoing treatment for a rib injury just 20 days ahead of UFC 320. Ankalaev's team reportedly wanted him to pull out of the fight, but the Dagestani was adamant about defending his title. Ankalaev was undefeated in 14 straight outings before his loss to Pereira.

[Rampage_Jackson]

Compromised by fear of aggressive Alex taking charge of the fight.

Chama

 

[Unheralded Truth]

The guy just didn't expect that kind of pressure, got startled. Simple as.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Jiri may be correct, but playing devil's advocate, what if Alex's running across the cage and throwing bombs at Ank immediately is what threw his whole rhythm off?

To me, it looked like Poatans pressure and non stop attack is what made Ank look "off."

 

[Söze Aldo]

Funny how everyone thought Jiri was the compromised one that night, for 2 rounds at least.

 

[HNIC215]

This forum isn't ready for the truth.

They want their hero to shine but their hero is human -> who also made excuses after his loss lol

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Big Ank was injured.

Run it back.

Threw him off in the beginning, then landed that cracking right what hurt him so bad he’d rather turtle up than keep fighting.

There wasn’t much to analyze since it was over so quickly

 

[MEAN357]

Poatan was compromised in the first fight went 5 rounds

Ank folded in under 2 minutes.

Dude chose to go out there, no excuses.

 

[josh345]

I mean everyone comes into fights injured lol. It could also be a combo of both Alex surprising him and him having a lapse of judgement moving back. The fight only lasted like a freaking minute so it's hard to draw any conclusions on how he "looked"

 

[Neck&Neck]

Rubber match for all the marbles

 

[bng]

MAGAmeds "Schrodinger cat" Unclelier'ev being in super position simultaneously being able to train grappling and have ribs broken
UncleLier'ev quote: "I'm 100% ready"

I will recommend mr. UncleLier'ev first to work on his mental health, he very possibly could be a literal schizo
-or-
If Ankalaev is right, then he bypassed lots of pre-fight filters and sport is heavily corrupted to the point of tens years of imprisonment for all participants

That's most likely the correct answer, Ankalaev probably wasn't ready for a straight up firefight in the first seconds of the fight.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

That's most likely the correct answer, Ankalaev probably wasn't ready for a straight up firefight in the first seconds of the fight.

Ank always starts slow, hes a counter puncher so he needs to get his distance and reads first. Last fight he lost the first round too

 

[Thy]

Prolly shouldn't have become compromised then.

3-1 is good enough for me, especially when he’s beaten 6 ufc champs and finished 5 of them.

Izzy tried and failed at LHW while Pereira did not.

 

[Southpoor97]

I’m a perreira fan but this is so childish. He was clearly injured.

People in one breath say Poatan was injured for the first fight but Ank wasn’t injured for the second

 

[chinarice]

My goodness, people dont even try to hide their double standards. Lol

 

[Young Calf Kick]

He was compromised by Poatan’s fists.

 

[tasticles]

My goodness, people dont even try to hide their double standards. Lol

No, im getting to where i cant stomach jiri.
