UFC 320: Ankalaev vs. Pereira predictions

BetMGM: Ankalaev will win again

Anatoly Pimentel writes: "I predict that Ankalaev will win again by unanimous decision against Pereira in this championship rematch because he will impose his grappling more urgently and earlier compared to the first fight. I never expected both of them to thrive in each other’s game in their first meeting, with Ankalev landing more significant strikes and Pereira successfully defending all the takedown attempts by the Russian."

Doc Sports: Magomed Ankalaev
