Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Ankalaev to win – 2.09.
Magomed has a counter-attacking style, usually catching his opponents working second. However, in his last fight, Maga was constantly putting pressure on Thiago Santos. So, adjusting to any opponent is not a problem for Ankalaev.
Smith is a dangerous threat in every aspect. Heavy punching, good jiu-jitsu skills and, most importantly, he has a lot of experience in performing at a high level. Definitely, Magomed needs to work in a cautious manner and not go for hard exchanges. He must use his technique and skill. We believe that if Ankalaev works in his usual way he will win by the judges’ decision.
Magomed Ankalaev has a winning streak of eight fights in the UFC. One more win will put him in contention for the title and there is no doubt about that. The fighter is 30 years old and has a record of 16 wins and one loss. His only defeat came in his league debut when he surrendered with one second left in the fight. As it was, he took his opponents apart completely. In his last fight, Magomed defeated Thiago Santos.
Anthony Smith is a 34-year-old American fighter, incredibly skilled and dangerous in all aspects. He has 52 fights under his belt, a record of 36 wins and 16 losses. He is now on a three-fight winning streak, winning each fight already in the first round. It should be noted, that Smith had already been in contention for the title three years before when he lost by points to Jon Jones.
In his last three fights, Magomed Ankalaev has reached the judges’ decision. We offer to bet on “Fight To Go The Distance – Yes” with odds of 1.81.
