Dec 11, 2022 · Jan said he agreed ankalaev won, but jan also said he didn’t know moments ago. I feel like as is, Jan would say let texiera fight ankalaev, then jan fights winner. However I can see Jan requesting the rematch. Who knew, Jiri not wanting …

Apr 15, 2024 · Magomed statically speaking is not a good wrestler outside of his TDD which is still inflated due to Magomed never fighting a good wrestler himself. BTW my criteria for a good wrestler is very high, so when I say wrestler I mean a REAL wrestler like Rashad Evans, Phil Davis, DC, Jon Jones etc. Magomed TD accuracy is extremely low

Glover Teixeira wanted Magomed Ankalaev in Brazil after Jiri Prochazka’s injury, feels ‘disrespected’ by UFC

Jan 14, 2024 · It's fucking crazy how despite being one of the longest fighters in the history of the UFC he still can't use a fucking jab, or even a quick right hand to control the distance, dude has to rely on lunging leg kicks and spinning shit when he's got like 7 inches on his competition, 5'9 DC could land his jab better against Dudes like Stipe and Jon Jones than this guy who has a …

Aug 1, 2022 · Stats do not tell the full story at all, Ankalaev has great ground control and GNP, Gaethje has neither.

Santos also got clipped twice in R1 from counters, which I think made him also very cautious.

Oct 24, 2022 · Ankalaev has a reasonable chance to beat any of the last 3 champs (Jan, Glover, and Jiri). If he doesn’t tap here he probably gets a ranked opponent in 2019 or early 2020 instead of 2021 and doesn’t have to deal with fighting Ion twice.

Apr 15, 2024 · Ankalaev is a striker first, who learned grappling after. He prefers striking and uses grappling in plan B. There are no actual wrestlers in this division currently, almeida should cut weight and go to LHW, but he is dumb.
