This was a very good performance by him considering ankalaev was supposed to be the next big thing. But jan from 2020 would kill ankalaev man.

I really wanted to see him vs Jiri but that won't happen for a while now obviously.

@@LukosCelestou yea even jiri falls down with only just one calf kick from alex and immediately became Wrestler show how nasty those kicks were i think neither hills nor walker can stand and bang with alex they need to rely on wrestling
Pereira is a different level of striker. He can both check and counter leg kicks pretty well. I think Jan didn't liked the idea of exchanging with Pereira and tried a heavy wrestling game plan, that almost worked.
i mean Pereira almost checked all of Adesanyas kicks in first fight. Just rewatch it and you will notice how his leg bends when he checks. Jan and his team definitely knew that and avoided the plan

@@Creativeetea and doing nothing with it, you better pray Ankalaev fights in the muslim states because if not the ref wont save him from getting flatlined
Given the voodoo curse that seems to haunt Ankalaev's career I wonder if they will even get to fight before Alex retires; Ankalaev fights once or twice per year in general and he's locked in yet another rematch due bizarre circumstances.
How anyone thinks Ankalaev won this fight is beyond me. He had control time doing zero damage for 1 round and a half, meanwhile Jan spent 3 rounds destroying Ankalaev on the feet and turning his legs into mincemeat.
Many people including media members thought Ankalaev won and maybe you were so biased or a casual that in 4th and 5th round Jan also landed nothing significant so Ankalaev won that rounds because of control time and damage too Jan landed only one strike in Rd 4 and none in Rd 5 lol and was closed to getting finished in Rd 5.
Those were nasty as F. Ton of respect how Ankalaev still managed to come back somehow and outwrestle him being that compromised, I thought it was a done deal.
Every Dagestani’s tactic: cling on to dear life when wobbled or hurt and do absolutely nothing while on top until the fight is over and somehow score points.
Blachowicz should be the champ still. Didn't think he fought his best fight in this fight but was still winning the majority of the fight. I thought he also had better exchanges with Alex Pereira before he gassed out due to his wrestle heavy game plan. And the glover fight. Got wobbled with a hook gave his tapped out. Not much to say about that.
There is literally no reason Jan didn't win this fight. I guess theres two keys to "winning" any fight and they are: A) Be Russian B) Be a Superstar The decisions get wilder and wilder as the years go by.
Jan could've taken this game to his side but for some reason he decided to maintain distance and not closing him down immediately after the kick that dismantled Ankalaev.
ankalaev is a counter puncher and got some serious power in his hands, he's also a good grappler, closing distance makes you vulnerable to counter and takedown threat, that's why jan had to be cautious and prefer to maintain the distance.
Everybody seems to be certain that if Ank and Poatan fought, Magomed would dog walk him on that ground and wrestlef*ck him to death. But if Jan tore his legs up like that, what horrific damage could Alex create from kicking range at distance? He could turn Ankalaev to a cripple before the man even has a notion to shoot, n/m an actual opportunity to do so. I want to see that fight though, styles make matchups. Would be a tight addition to UFC 300. Or Aspinall vs. Pereira...I may actually want to see that one more at the present time 😅🔥🔥🔥
You really think he was going to beat Pereira at a striking battle? At leg kicks no less? Nah bro Jan did the right thing by trying to wrestle. Maybe should've waited until Pereira was a little more tired, and shouldn't have wasted ALL of his energy doing that though. He sacrificed the 2nd and 3rd round just to win the 1st
he knows how good Alex is at checking leg kicks after 2 fights with Izzy, so he did the right decision not to spam leg kicks vs Alex, instead he tried to wrestle
Bruh Jan straight up got beat in the leg kick battle vs Alex and people will still try to discredit it as if Rakic/Ank didn't get their legs fried trying to go toe to toe with Jan.
Jans somewhat blocked kicks affected him this bad, we all saw what pereiras 2 kick did to YIRI, imagine how will Ankalev win against pereira ,known for his "no telegraph devastating" kick.😊😊 3 kicks and ankalev goes to wrestling,same with yan blahovich, turned to wrestling.
