There’s no way Ankalaev will only strike Pereira 😂😂
He should wrestle it's MMA
True.....yan said he wants to test his striking against pereira.he went for take down straight away
@@razraj3373Alex also said he want to test and show case his wrestling against Ankalaev. Will see if Alex will shoot
Ankalaev will use he's wrestling to win 😅
He'll do the smart and wrestle, remember Mr Cuckchado said he was going to do a striking masterclass against MVP, in the end he attempted BJJ.
lmao. Ank said Alex can't call himself champion because he hasn't faced him? Who has Ank beat? No chin Johnny Walker? 😂 Alex already has 4 wins over lhw champions. Only time Ank fought a lhw champ he came up short and couldn't get the win. The ego is massive for a guy who only gets wins over cans.
You're a bit harsh by saying cans, but, your main point is correct. Alex is a worthy champ. No question about it. If Ank wants to trade with him, he's not getting out of the second round.
Well he is not ..bwcuse he have ti face Anka..why Alex is running away from him ?????
@@cherkayskadiga5597 When was the fight offered to Alex and he refused ? Come on, man ! A guy who is ready to fight Heavyweights like Jones and Aspinall would never be scared of Ankalaev. Alex is 37. Knowing that the clock is ticking, he wants to be as quickly as possible the first 3 weight-class champ in history before getting too old. I don't think he can achieve it because of his average wrestling, but, in his shoes, I would give it a try to.
@@rouhoullahdiomande3970 he refused to fight him in Saudi arabia..so stop yp7r bullssssht
@rouhoullahdiomande3970 he will never fight Jones he knows 1000% he will loose .. come on ..in his 3rf fight with Izzy he was out cold end of the round..go watch it..they just let him fight lol
Yep. ZERO chance he doesn't shoot for a takedown faster than Jan did. He talks a big game, and says he'd only strike with Alex, but everyone know that's a lie.
We will see
Y He will probably shit him self and doing straight up wresting in all the rounds😂
Its a smart mind game wrestlers like to play against strikers I wish strikers would do the same by claiming they'll shoot for a takedown, make these wrestlers waste practice time doing takedown defense
Casual.
@@TheImSourceHow so?
He's gotta shoot for his life if he has a chance of winning. Jan was able to get him hobbling all over the place early. Now imagine how brutal Pereira's leg kicks will be.
Ankalaev is a southpaw. Alex leg kicks will be harder to land on a southpaw
@@keyboardwarrior6591Yeah but his left hook will be more accessible than fighting an Orthodox.
If you could avoid Pereira leg kick damage just by being southpaw, he should have never been champ.
@@keyboardwarrior6591 right never faced a Southpaw on his nearly 100 fights in Combat sports
why are you comparing a southpaw to orthodox, most fight fans kill me
Chimaev 2.0🤡😂
What a casual y are,we know westerns are just Muslims haters,ankalaev has an elite striking and wrestling,every Dagestani who reached the title fight has won it , go watch women tennis mma is not for casuals like you
Reminds me of hill when he was talking big before getting knocked out
Exactly man it’s unbearable to listen to.
To not accept the possibility that either man could be knocked out against a proven/decorated champion is just horse shit
@@nyashnader1He will probably get knocked out quicker than Hill. lol
@@jxknight1980 average casual comment
Hes not hill at all, polar opposite. MAG has a better chance with his wrestling.
@@yungnguyen82they both tapped to the same bum and hills striking is better and ank is claiming he will stand
Ankalaev can control all rounds, but leg kicks are dangerous
And his boxing not on level of alex peiera
Who the F is this guy
Check his fights, he’s ganna sleep ur boy periera
@@georgeankalov checked them, years ago actually, tapped like 🐔 against a Scottish loser, beat precisely 0 top 5 contenders and had such a shameful display the one time he fought for the title that Dana made Hill vs Glover instead of a rematch 😂😂
@davidstephenson164..that's cause most in his division were ducking him clown! We'll see! And btw, Free Palestine!!!
@@davidstephenson164your profile pic says enough about you
@Legendary070 haha agree
If Alex is easy fight then what about Johnny Walker? 😂
Walker was just a tune up fight ✊
Did you get answers
He literally smoked Johnny Walker
brodie got koed by him what are u on
Chama!!!
My boy Ankalev doing interviews in the dark cause he didn't adopt the dark he was born in it, let it mold him, by the timw he saw light it was nothing but BLIDNESS!!
Yeah, this guy is never fighting Alex at this point.
Dagestanis are brazilian kryptonite.
Bruh. Ankalaev has 0 submission wins and got submitted by Paul Craig 😂.
A dagestani haircut doesn't mean you're another Khabib... like shut up Bruh fr.
@@noideaa every kids in dagestan learns how to wrestling in early age than switch up to another sport when they grow up.
Wrestling has no submission game you casual, ankalaev could hold 0 ground game pereira for 5 rounds it doesnt matter.
Dagestanis are brazillian kryptonite.
@@noideaa paul craig is a best with submissions in his prime tho, he beat jamahal
@@TimothyRonaldo who said wrestling is about submissions?
All I'm saying is Ankalaev ground game is overrated asf, he couldn't even takedown Jan (who's a Striker) not to mention how he got fucked by some legkicks in that fight 😂
Ankalaev is overrated, he is no huge threat for Alex.
@@TimothyRonaldo Also
Just because they're Dagestani doesn't mean you can't get knocked out by a striker. Whittaker Slept one of em, Rozenstruik did the same and I think Strickland ko'd an inbred too. Ankalaev won't be any different 😂
Talking about testing his stand up just like Alex's past victims.
Alex should not accept the fight in Abu Dhabi, there’s enemy territory for him
If he doesn't he is never fighting Anka. That mf only wants to fight there
@@dilarch. they can fight in USA or even in Brazil, but for this muslim Russians Adu Dhabi is like home and since Ankalaev is the challenger, his manager can’t dictate the terms.
@@dilarch. Ankalaev says he will fight Alex anywhere. Listen to his interviews, he says he will fight Alex in Vegas, New York, anywhere, any time.
@@alandemaio3043Islam just fought Dustin in the US, and fought Volk in Australia for his first title defense.
Location don’t matter, Alex fans only use it as an excuse
@@alandemaio3043 Alex dares to fight anywhere, while Ankalaev only wants to fight in Abu Dhabi, he's just a cowardly fighter who likes to be picky about his territory 🤡🤣🤣
Khabib: send location
Anlkev: wait i am sending u the date and the location.
Jan is pretty well rounded and had a good game plan against Pereira but still lost
tbf that fight was close as hell, pereira barely won cuz jan was gassed out in the third round
It's tricky because if Ank does his usual and stands most if not the whole time, his legs could be utterly butchered as bad if not worse than with Jan or he could be KO'd. He'll have the power and ability to KO Pereira as well but even against Walker his legs were being chopped before he knocked him out. If he does decide to grapple it could be a whole different story but Ank seems to only grapple when absolutely forced and by then Pereira could have already taken him out.
Anklaev could barely walk vs Jan. Imagine what pereira gonna do to his legs. Hes gonna get kneed into another dimension when he goes for the take down
Perera going to need to learn wrestling real fast
0 submission wins and got tapped out by Paul Craig.😂 Yeah a huge wrestling threat for Pereira for sure.
This is as bad when Chris Weidman said can give Bone Jones a run for his money 😂Lol 😂😂
Ankalaev is an amazing fighter...
He is the most complete fighter in Light heavyweight division..
most haters just talking shit about this guy
Magomed underestimating alex his come leaps and bounds continuously training on his ground game
If he doesn’t wrestle Alex and gets KOed people will still talk down on Alex not being tested in the wrestling and that no true wrestler has tested him and that he’s just fighting strikers
Has this guy fought Jiri or Hill?
I agree if anlkalaev look so arogant, if he dont do that dana never give alex for him. I want see anklaev vs alex
If he actually stands with Alex then the fight's not making it out of the 1st round.
Rewatched his fights against Jan, Jhonny and Thiago Santos... if he dosnt wrestle heavy he's gonna get chinned easily, his right arm is always low and got tagged by a left hook multiple times from all of 3 dont need to say he cant get caught against Pereira and he has probably the weakest calfs in LHW history.
You are such an EXPERT wow
This guy hasn't even fought a top contender in LHW, and his legs were almost paralyzed by Jan's leg kick.
Alex could have his legs crushed worse than Jan did, before his fate like Jiri and Hill 😂😂
Magovedov will be the new champ snm
ANKALAEV BEATS PEREIRA, REMEMBER THIS Statement!!
Ank is really going to get a title shot by beating Johnny Walker. What a joke.
He beat the former champ in Jan and was robbed and now he’s gonna smash Alex, everyone knows it
Let's go Magomed, let's kick Alex's ass 👊
Magomed is a bum.. Who has he even beaten???? Alex fiishes this caveman
Caveman ankalaev is Chimaev 2.0
First round finished by Anka Alex is history ..his last fight ever
nah he will hug alex like jan did
@@yudhirgautam1645 bro let's see what happens. How can I contact with you? Let's talk after Magomed get the sh*t out of Alex in the octagon :)
He has to change his whole style if he wanna win he can't just push him and stand infront of him
Haha easy fight I have a feeling this isn't gonna age well 😂😂
People that talk the most shit are the first ones to get laid out!!!! Facts 🎉
Poatan is the best 💪💪
Alex is in real trouble I believe this fight won’t go as people think. Magomed is from Dagestan even Islam warned Alex
just because bro is from dagestan doesn’t mean anything, look what happened to aliskerov recently. ank isn’t dangerous on the ground he just smudges people against the canvas. i don’t see him submitting or stopping alex, which means more time on the feet for pereira to turn his lights off
Do you expect Islam to say something negative against one of his cousins? 😐
@@chummygryphon28 bro Ikram fought Robert 1 week notice wtf. Ank isn’t the best wrestler in the ufc but he is far better than Alex and could outgrapple him with ease
I wouldn't call it easy!
🔥🔥🙏
Ok bom!
Alexs gonna destroy those legs/calfs. If jan can destroy ankalaevs legs , then this isgonna be easy work
These Brazilians, they are always struggling with Dagistanis they always get beaten up
you missed your chance to beat last year when he first move up he was fat and had concussion
Everyone thinks Ankalaev will get destroyed😂... its mma could be a close fight as well anything can happen
Why do all these idiots say they will KO Alex?
Literally the hardest way for any of them to win and never happens lol
Whats wrong with them lol
Chama 💪
Another KO for poatan 😂
The endboss. Ankalaev will maul Perreira
Who is this guy
Bruh lol
Abu Dhabi
It will be similar to islam vs charels
I’m Chechen but I’m rooting for Ankalaev 🇷🇺🦅
bro boring
Islamic migga next chimaev 2.0 CHAMA 🔥
do ur black magic in dark wrld
@@AITech-2023 Islamic migga gonna do namaz in purgatory
I love Alex but i dont see how he beats Magomed
Magomed is a joke bro 😂😂
Thats because you are a noob, ankalaev is weak against the calf kicks and doesnt submit people, he is gonna get ko
Ankalaev sucks
🤣🤣🤣
ALLAHU AKBAR? 😂😂
Easy work
