Gaethje probably won’t be able to put a coherent sentence together in 10 years, but damn this man can bang :ohlawd:

"would you like fries with that?"

Why have people been talking about Ankalaev like he's a sure bet to dethrone Pereira.

He's not a wrestler, he's a striker. They think because he's Dagestani he's a wrestler.


GUILTY.

I hadn’t thought about that tbh. He really isn’t some world class grappler, he’s primarily a striker.

I do think, however, that he’s a better grappler than Pereira. Now, whether that grappling advantage will actually be a factor in this fight or not, still remains to be seen.

for whatever he is, vegas gave him a lot of respect the way they set those odds.

and alex took in tons of money all week and the line barely moved.

it wont be up to vegas inside the cage, but i never seen a dominant champ get disrespected so hard by a guy who isn't really known for much.

Rountree, Hill, and Jiri all wanted to stand and bang. Ankalaev is the first guy since Blachowicz that has made it clear that he’s going to grapple. I don’t think anybody sees Ankalaev as a great wrestler, they just think he’s better at it than Pereira.
