Media Movsar Evloev: Magomed Ankalaev Can Beat Alex Pereira Without Wrestling

Movsar taking a page out of Bruce Lee's book.

Yeah Ankalaev, just throw away your clearest path to victory and eat heavy shots and barely escape sub attempts until you figure out your only way to win is to just hug the dude for the next 12 minutes and 48 seconds. Do it the Movsar way.

 

[Iroh]

Lol! I take it that wasn't intended?

 

[drphil]

I kind of agree.
He can Def ko him standing, but he still needs to threaten with wrestling to catch Alex tho.

That being said war Alex!

I predict that Ank will start to panic wrestle in the middle of the first round when he gets clipped by one of those kicks or left hooks.

His haters think his striking suck and his fans think his wrestling is great.
Both wrong

****under the right circunstances

Yea, he'll feel that first kick and that'll be enough to change whatever game plan he had.

Yep. Some of these opinions really makes you wonder if these people have ever actually seen the guy fight. He’s hardly a wrestler and I don’t believe he is as outgunned on the feet as many make it seem.

Start thread. Instantly ruin it by posting a bunch of gifs and music videos. Standard.

Pretty sure Roundtree hits harder than Ank and is better striker. Pereria was sick an still led Roundtree . Round tree wasn't able to wobble Alex n his hit him flush a few times even got a kd but Pereria bounced right back basic alloy unfazed.

 

[krelianx]

He can, but it's a pretty iffy bet. He is a lot stronger and bigger, that's for sure.

 

[Steve Fox]

Most Sherbros could TKO/KO Walker.

Hearing Pereria actually talk pre fight and all the humble stuff- sounds like he doesn't care as much anymore . I am a huge fan but I honestly do t think his heads in this and big head douche is goung to win.. ank would maybe be most insufferable champ ever. At least Conor brought the funny either intentional or unintentional.

Are you saying Ank is bigger and stronger than Pereria?

I see people bringing it up but Poatan have always talked that way, even on his MW stint. Maybe in english it feels different, but the way he talks about being a fighter has always been the same. Something akin too "I've already won in life to be here, that's the fighting game, everybody is beatable, including me. We train to perform the best we can and accept the result as it comes, no fighter goes undefeated unless he stop fighting.. but then he's no longer a fighter".

That being said.. as someone who also wants Poatan to keep winning I'm pretty nervous about this fight

Wise Movsar

Implementing no wrestling whatsoever? 1% chance.

Alex is too durable at 205 . He barley reacted to the flash knock down of Khalil and barley reacted to the head kick.

Ank has fast hands but he isn't exactly a power puncher. And this is disregarding from the obvious stand up skill disparity between the two.
