Alex Poatan x Ankalaev: OFighter Pinions
DRICUS DU PLESSIS – Bet on Alex Poatan
Former medium-champion Du Plessis believes that the Brazilian will correct the errors of the first combat and recover the belt.
“The exchange was never the problem, the problem is that it was suffocated. It will not be difficult to escape the clinch this time. I bet on Alex Pereira,” he told the site Full Send.
Dustin Poirier – Bet on Alex Poatan
Former dispute to the light and retired belt, Poirier sees Poatan with good chances of giving the change.
“Alex wants to recover the title, show that he was not himself in the last fight. He is very dangerous and cannot waste this opportunity. I believe he wins by knockout,” he told the site Nice junkie.
Tom Aspinall – Bet on Magomed Ankalaev
Current heavyweight champion Aspinall highlighted Ankalaev’s wrestling as a determining factor.
“The clashes were quite favorable to Alex until facing Magomed Ankalaev. Only the threat of falls already makes him a complicated opponent. Even without forcing much in the first duel, the Russian style is difficult for Pereira,” he said to TNT Sports UK.
Poatan responde a Aspinall
Poatan countered aspinall’s comment, which suggested that the Brazilian would have received UFC “special treatment”, with struggles adjusted to his style until the first combat with Ankalaev.
The former champion rejected the criticism and stressed his career in MMA, remembering that he built his way from kickboxing.
“I came from kickboxing, with no experience in wrestling or MMA, and look what I did. We’re talking about the highest level. If you put any fighter against me in my category, there is no favoritism. So I can’t understand this comment,” said the Brazilian during the media day do UFC 320.
