Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira - Who wins this fight if it happens?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

This is the fight that should be next for both men, who do you got?

 

[tritestill]

Magomed and then he beats Hill

 

[LeBron]

What’s stopping Poatan from drilling take down defense day and night for 12 weeks? All he has to do is keep it standing and he wins.

 

[Shay Brennan]

Ankalaev can win and even make it look easy.
But, I can definitely see Poatan winning due to leg kicks.

The key for Ankalaev is to grapple early insted of late like in the Jan fight.
If Jiri was able to take down and controll Poatan, then Anakalev can have even more success there.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

Ankalaev by boring decision

 

[Noraaq]

Ank wins 8/10 times. Poatan only has a punchers chance.

 

[HHJ]

50/50 fight. Im curious to see how the leg kicks go.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

I believe if Alex doesn't win, and the fight does not end in a draw, then Alex will lose the fight

 

[sonhow]

Ank has more ways. Grappling and even striking. We have seen Alex take shots. His defense isnt unbreakable.

I'll root for Alex.

He probably trains it a lot. Glover is a solid guy to train with. Dude ran through a lot of LHW's due to his excellent grappling.

 

[Striker Fox]

Seems like it's going to be complete domination for Ankalaev unless he completely gasses out after the 1st round like Blachowicz did in Salt Lake.

Pereira leg kicks and hook can obviously makes any fight interesting tho

 

[Phrozenspite]

If magomed fights smart he'll win... But given the way he fought his last title attempt he's going to sleep

 

[Contempt]

I want Poatan to win but realistically... Ankalaev just has more ways to win and MUCH more grappling experience than Alex.

 

[Striker Fox]

I want Poatan to win

Part of me wants him to lose just so we can see him move up to fight Gane at HW before it's too late and he's past his prime

This. I don’t think the striking is even though. He might find some success through low kicks, even Walker cracked him a few times.

War Alex.

Is your avatar Otacon in Metal Gear? The part when you’re surrounded by cloaked soldiers in a lift? Classic.

Yeah even striking maybe too much. But I wouldnt be shocked if Ank knocked him out.

Yup. Av didnt fit quite like I intended but it amused me more this way. Like the guy is peeking from a box and shouting.

Poatan Rd. 3 KO.

He really should stay at LHW hahaha

 

[Nobru]

My bet is Poatan will KO him. A few leg kicks cripple Ank who will eat a bomb sooner or later
If they fight 10 times tho, Ank probably wins like 6

Hmm picking Anka if he stays smart and keeps taking down Alex but Alex has great striking and his leg kicks are different from other fighters'. He does not show when he's about to kick but we did see Anka check leg kicks today.

But thwn yet again Anka is a great counter striker
