I think Pereira will Ko Ankalaev since apparently he wants only striking.
Pereira is a beast on striking and have a frightening power
The only chance for Ankalaev is going on ground.
None know the level on ground of Pereira, he probably not bad but does he has the lvl for conter the struggle of Ankalaev?

What you opinion about this? ^_^

Alex got taken down and held down a couple times by Izzy. Izzy got taken down at will by Jan. Alex defended takedowns very well against Jan and Jiri. I don't think Alex ground game is very good, but his takedown defense has really improved since middleweight. I'll be rooting for Alex, but I wouldn't count ankalaev out by any means.

I would have given Ankalaev a better chance on the feet until seeing Pereira eat some bombs from Roundtree. Clearly his chin is better without the severe cut that he went through to make MW.

I'm not convinced Ankalaev has wrestling chops to keep Pereira down long enough for it to outweigh the ridiculous power he will have to deal with on the feet. I can see Pereira chopping at Ankalaev's legs and eventually catching him with something big as he moves forward.

Should have just done Almeida vs Pereira, at least you know Almeida is shooting the double leg immediately and we'd see if Pereira can manage it

*If Almeida avoided the flying knee 😂

Ankalaev has a chance but Pereira is the man

I wouldnt count him out due to Glover Teixeira being his coach but then again Ankalaev probably has been doing grappling since he was a little baby....

The real question is , does Ankalaev have the level to keep Pereira on the ground and submit him.
Because i don't think Ankalaev can knock Pereira on the standing and on the ground.
