Media Alex Pereira wants Ankalaev next

[Blastbeat]

Poatan wants all the smoke. Ank is a great matchup to see the extent of Alex's MMA skills.
i can see him timing one of Ank's takedowns with one of his flying or standing knees and knocking him out.
however, Ankalaev is an extremely good wrestler so i can see it being 5 rounds of blanketing.

Periera would get lay and prayed

he hasn't fought a single fighter with the wrestling that Ankalaev possesses

But you should never underestimate the lack of fight IQ from Ankalaev. He's makes some really bone headed decisions.

I’d be surprised if they’re able to make this fight at UFC 301. Ank probably needs more time to prepare.

If it does happen, Alex leg kicks Ank into remembering he can wrestle.

Pereira is a fucking badass for picking the toughest opponents even if they're not the most marketable ones.

This is the best fight to make in my opinion. If Pereria can pull it off, that would silence all doubt. As a fan, I’d be nervous about Ank suffocating him for a dominant decision, sub or tko tho, not gonna lie.
