Pereira VS Ankalaev [POLL]

[JoeRowe]

1, 3, 5 for sure.

Confused how you can score the 5th round to Ank.

It was a close fight and obviously a stinker, but its up to Alex to counter someone who shows up to point fight.

Yeah Alex landed the telling shots in rd 5, stuffed all the takedowns. Rd 3 was closer imo

 

[josh345]

One of the worst ufcs ever? Why the fuck didn't Alex let his hands go? The guy hits harder than Francis nganaou. He didn't throw shit.

 

[moosaev]

Terrible decision. Didn’t do anything to deserve that win

There was only 1 guy who was visibly hurt, on the back foot, confused, defensive, under pressure. Poatan didn’t do anything to deserve this fight.

 

[sdpdude9]

Poll being 50/50 when one is massively popular and the other is rather disliked says it’s probably the less liked fighter.

 

[fortheo]

Ankalaev by a pubic hair. Poatan fought like a neutered dog and deserved to lose.

 

[treelo]

I thought Alex won but I have to watch it again.

watch it without commentary, the amount of ball sucking going on from the commentators was sickening

at the very worst a 3-2 fight, no problem with the 4-1 scorecard at all

 

[CrimsonFan]

If that was the gameplan, well throw that gameplan in the trash and time again team Alex.

 

[Ares Black]

Alex 3 2, Ank fought as expected and still couldn't get a single takedown

Ankalaev landed better strikes than Pereira

 

[alchemy]

And Ank did enough to win it?

Yes. More control and more aggression is important. Just defending the takedown and not showing any tangible offence in response isn't enough to win the fight.

R1 Mag
R2 Mag
R3 Mag
R4 Mag
R5 Alex

 

[MDoza]

Ankalaev 2, 3, 4


Pereira was rocked from that initial flurry in round 2, and didn’t recover till Round 5.

Aside from the headkick that didn’t land as much as DC was trying to sell, Poatan landed what, a jab, and some leg kicks?

The commentary was ridiculously biased

 

[BowserJr]

Comes down to round 3. I gave it to Ank but could see judges clubbing it cuz it was close

Round 2 was the most clear and Ank won that.

 

[fizzlehiss]

2,3,4 Ank is very accurate. Surprised how quality these judges were in scoring that.

 

[Brom Bones]

Round by round I gave it to Alex, but I'm fine with the results because Ank won the fight in totality.

 

[Objectively Correct]

you’re wearing the Chama goggles. Watch both fighters, not just Pereira. He lost pretty cleanly.

how did you score round 3 for ank, can you explain from your pov? just curious

 

[MDoza]

And Ank did enough to win it?

He rocked him several times..

Alex was saved by the bell.

 

[Ares Black]

1,3,5 Alex, every other score is literally retarded, bigly robbery.

No

 

[Rorschachxx]

Terrible decision. Didn’t do anything to deserve that win

Asking honestly and respectfully here - what did Pereira do in your eyes to deserve the win?

 

[Killhippies]

A tiny bit towards Poatan, but a draw to be honest, a couple rounds that really did not go either way for either.
