"Ankalaev is not a wrestler" were the comforting words to cover the fears of Pereira's fans at the possibility that Pereira would be finished off on the ground.
Did talbot loose last fight at 311, was thinking he did when watching this, like a reminder but still, come bk from errors, we see, remember when nganou got handled by stipe, rematch wiped him out, take down defence was better, and finished stipe, barriers appear, learning curves.
@markfox2043 yeah eventually he’ll develop but for now he’s not there and with already losing once this year having him on a list of prospect to take off above the rest is kinda ironic
"Ankalaev is not a wrestler" were the comforting words to cover the fears of Pereira's fans at the possibility that Pereira would be finished off on the ground.
Extremely strange seeing the people trying to write off Ankalaev. I'm not making my pick yet, but to act like it's Pereira's easiest fight ever is just ignorant. He spent the entire first round against Blachowicz flat on his back, and even Adesanya managed to have wrestling success against him. Ank's not a primary grappler, but I'm confident he's the best grappler Pereira's ever faced, and that's a big problem.
He's not a wrestler but he IS a Dagestani that can take one training camp to brush up his wrestling and that could definitely be enough to finish Alex, just saying. Training with Glover isn't going to make him as good as grappler as Glover.
everybody be talking about Ankalaev but im just here to support Mah goat Taira . Mark my words, once he improves his striking he will become a p4p goat.
The crazy momentum within fights and competition and intensity within them over the last 6 years has been INCREASINGLY sick. 2025 is gonna be a banger year for fights, AGAIN.
no it won't be because strongman-competition-winners (such as hafthor bjornsson and brian shaw) are not allowed to participate in mma because they can't cut to 265 while jerrell miller (330 lbs) is allowed to compete in boxing
So much noise about Ankalaev having good wrestling. I get that he’s from Dagestan and prefers to strike, but name one fight where he rag dolled his opponent with wrestling like Khabib, Khamzat, and Islam does.
you're right but i'm upset that strongman-competition-winners are not allowed to compete in the ufc at least against each other at open weight; who wouldn't want to see hafthor bjornsson vs brian shaw in mma when they both were in their prime; surely, tom aspinall can't beat hafthor bjornsson with his "techniques"
Big Ank is such a paradox. Great striker who can also wrestle really well, drew with Jan, KO power. But it's like he's tailor made for Pereira (doesn't check leg kicks well, doesn't like to wrestle) partly because he'd choose to be by staying on the feet and yet at the same time I can see him getting some kind of sudden finish on Pereira. Rooting for Pereira but not sleeping on Ank's threat.
He can’t check kicks his legs are gonna be gone, the same way Alex broke down Khalil, he’ll do the same with ank, he’s a veteran and ppl sleep on his fight iq, the only threat to Alex I can see is Jan
Well I don't know about "dominate" for Talbot considering he already lost in 2025. He is good but dominate in 2025 for me would mean "unbeaten" in 2025.
because both fought at 170 and 185 but holland remained fighting in both divisions whereas buckley decided to stick to 170; similarly, khamzat fought in two divisions and missed an opportunity to fight for the 170 lb belt (especially since edwards was not an active champion)
"Ankalaev is not a wrestler" were the comforting words to cover the fears of Pereira's fans at the possibility that Pereira would be finished off on the ground.
i h*te to admit it but it's true; can you help sign the strongman-competition-winners to the ufc to compete at open weight?; thanks in advance for your help, bradah
no he's not; he hit downed opponent in the first johny walker fight and then hit the groin in the rematch; such a classy guy representing his belief system well
Bro...look at how slow Ankalaev strikes....and people think he will beat Alex Pereira? PLEASE make the odds go in Ankly's favor so i can place my first bet for the first time in my life and get a bag. Ankly will fold to Pereira's leg kicks (which are harder than Jan's) and he has only ONE SUBMISSION. He is not going to win this unless he goes to a decision
Turdkalaev is decent enough on the feet, good power, good defense. If he has to, he can probably hold Alex down for a boring decision. I haven’t looked at the odds but probably like -175 Turdkalaev Alex beats him pure striking obviously, but I see Akvalaev doing a lot of lay and pray
Pereira is a world class striker but has shit groud game. If he went to a split decision with jan, ankalaev will be more than enough to keep him down. Izzy took him down and kept him there ffs
They must have put this video together earlier than last weekend because so many are talking about Tablot's losing his first fight. I can't say I find Tatsura Taira, splitting the guy's knee to pieces, beautiful like Bisping and Cruz were saying.
@@FirstNameLastName-lu5nr he didn't look good in his last fight. no take downs/wretling and very low striking output. You need to do something to get into the top 10 (and yes I know he is a good wrestler but if you dont use it then what good is it)
@@monatheformerferalcat I agree, but it seems like his striking is at least good enough to supplement his wrestling. To me, he is trying to prove he can strike so he is avoiding bullying ppl with wrestling
I'm pretty sure Hafthor Bjornsson is the baddest dude on the planet; the UFC bosses won't give him a chance to prove it because he can't cut to 265 lbs
I can pretty confidently say the hype is NOT real. He's just not good enough. Brendson Ribeiro bloodied him up and that fight was a 50/50 all the way through. Just two inexperienced low level guys swinging for the bleachers until one landed. He's young and has a few more years until he reaches his athletic prime, but I'm pretty confident he's not built for ranked opposition until then.
This is a weird list. How are you putting prospects that are still unranked on the same tier as People Like Ankalaev who is fighting for a title in like a month from now? Ank isn't a prospect he's been a top contender for years
"Ankalaev is not a wrestler" were the comforting words to cover the fears of Pereira's fans at the possibility that Pereira would be finished off on the ground.
