I gotta assume they wanted Ankalaev in Abu Dhabi (maybe his request or theirs) but needed Pereira to headline Utah so it just worked out this way.
Jan must be injured bad. Seems like he’s been gone for a couple of years.
Still one of the most questionable title fights of all time either way, but it beats the champ sitting out.
Was that goatfucker Uncle Laev doing his stupid Ramadan shit or something? If not why give it to Khalil? Considering how the odds will be, there is decent money on Khalil having a punchers chance.
I think that this one is easy money for Alex. Roundtree isn’t a threat on the ground for him and isn’t on his level in striking.
This looks like a gimme fight but its very high risk for Poatan
It would be high risk if Alex was just a power puncher that goes out and bangs but he’s the furthest thing from it. He’s patient and breaks guys down with legs kicks and walks them directly into his shots. Jiri is the most dangerous guycat 205 besides Alex and Alex destroyed him in the rematch. I’ll be really surprised if Alex doesn’t finish this fight in the first round without taking damage. Anything can happen but that’s how I see it
Yes, Alex is definitely the favorite and superior technically
But Rountree has that speed and power which could be an equalizer … but Alex wins 9/10 times
About time Ankalaev gets a shot at it again, as long as he wins the next one. Never made sense to me how he draws for the belt(I think he won that fight) and then doesn’t get a shot at it for like 3yrs again
How tall is this Rountree?
says 6 1. for what that’s worth. i would’ve thought 5 10. but guys never lie about that.
WAR Pereira.
A fighter vs B fighter
and still they sometimes go to decision
I want KR to win so badly, can he yes, will he…no
