Let’s keep in mind his struggle with Jan Blachowicz. He was in a position to cease takedowns, get again to his toes. Confirmed quite a lot of enhancements in his takedown protection towards a stable wrestler. Most likely not so good as Ankalaev.”

All that kind of stuff. On the toes; Ankalaev, nice fighter. Southpaw. Does some nice issues. Can look very efficient on his toes, however Pereira is insanely good on the toes. I believe it’s going to be arduous to wager towards Alex Pereira with simply how issues are going to be. That inside leg kick. I don’t know in the event you keep in mind with Jan Blachowicz and Ankalaev, [Jan] was in a position to make a large number of Ankalaev’s lead leg.
