Zakhabi: “Pereyra could have awarded the victory in two rounds, but Ankalaev would have won anyway”
Firas Zakhabi, a coach of the former champion of the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) Georges Saint -Pierre, appreciated the victory of Russian Magomed Ankalaev over Alex Pereyira in the UFC title battle.
On the night of March 9, at the UFC 313 tournament in Las Vegas, Ankalaev defeated Alex Pereir with a unanimous decision of the judges and became a heavyweight champion.
– Ankalaev stunned Pereir in the second round. After that, Alex became too careful, although it was a clear mistake. This surprised us all. He tried to predict what Ankalaev would do, but Ankalaev was more unpredictable than Pereira. The judges could give Pereyre the first and, possibly, the third round, but Ankalaev would still win in total, ”Zahabi quotes MMAJUNKIE.
Ankalaev won 20 victories during his career, suffered one defeat and one fight ended.
