Jul 31, 2022 · I looked it up yesterday, and the country of Dagestan has about the population of the Portland metro area. If you live around here and know the area, it’s like Khabib and Islam live out toward Gresham and Magomed lives in like Beaverton. What a weird country.

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

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

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 …

Mar 13, 2022 · Ankalaev is a counter striker, very defense oriented and fights conservatively. Seemed like he never wanted to engage Santos even when Santos was against the fence for most of the fight. From his last fight Ankalaev is happy with a decision win. 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.

People are underestimating Ankalaev as well as Hill. Jiri's striking technique isnt quite as good, and yet he was having success on the feet against Alex. You could tell Alex did not like that LHW power, but when he backed up Jiri recklessly charged in and left openings. Ankalaev and Hill won't make the same mistake.

Aug 1, 2022 · Stats do not tell the full story at all, Ankalaev has great ground control and GNP, Gaethje has neither. Ankalaev simply doesn't like to use his wrestling since his striking gets it done just fine. Gaethje will have people shooting TDs on him all day long as he's a rookie on the mat. Fighters do not want to take Ankalaev down.

Dec 11, 2022 · I don't agree. Main event result wasn't reasonable and people are just ok with it because Jan is a fan favorite especially here on reddit while Ankalaev is a wrestler they don't know. Paddy decision is also absurd. Worst night of judging in years.
