GDT: UFC 282: Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev/Bellator 289: Stots vs. Sabatello

[I am not exposed]

This is a fascinating fight.

 

[pistolpete11]

Ankalaev might be in trouble. That leg is f***ed and there's still 3 more rounds.

 

[Avs_19]

Jan is doing better than I expected and whatever is going on with that leg is evening the odds even more.

 

[Killahpunk]

Jan should keep these leg kicks going.

 

[m9]

Slow but interesting first two rounds. Jan looks great through two with the inside low kicks, but not much else going on.

 

[m9]

Ankalaev looks great when he's countering but he's bad at initiating. Cannot seem to get proper range.

He needs to get aggressive though as his legs are getting chewed up.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I know it changes the perception of a close round... but I hate the aspect that a late take down with absolutely no damage can steal you a round

 

[Avs_19]

Strange round. I want to say Jan because of the leg damage but Ankalaev still did some good work.

 

[pistolpete11]

29-28 Jan

 

[Tobias Kahun]

38-38

 

[pistolpete11]

38-38, but the momentum is with Ankalaev. Gets another takedown and it's over.

 

[Avs_19]

Likely even but could be 3-1 for Ankalaev too.

Jan looks gassed.

 

[m9]

Interesting fight in terms of tactics and because the stakes are so high here. But other than that, this has been a pretty tame bout through 4.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

what the hell was that

 

[pistolpete11]

WTF happened?

 

[h2]

Boring fight. Not impressed by either.

 

[Killahpunk]

Anakalaev taking advantage of the take downs and avoiding those leg kicks.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Its over

 

[m9]

Kind of funny that this didn't seem to be Ankalaev's strategy at all until he got hurt and then they found out its much more effective than their first strategy.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

These takedowns won't mean much though right?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

has jan ever trained getting up?

 

[I am not exposed]

has jan ever trained getting up?

He lost meekly to Glover this way.

 

[pistolpete11]

Kind of funny that this didn't seem to be Ankalaev's strategy at all until he got hurt and then they found out its much more effective than their first strategy.

It seemed to be his corner's strategy.

 

[m9]

Ankalaev is great and he did the expected here, but this is a pathetic last 10-15 minutes from Jan.

 

[h2]

Extremely boring last two rounds. Don’t care who wins.
