Ankalaev is technically more interesting, but his functionality gives the impression that he should have practiced more. One gets the feeling that Ankalaev is way too cautious. Despite that, his technique, sensibility, and distance are impressive.
Johnny Walker
Walker is a fascinating character. He was expected to become a champion when he joined the UFC. Something went wrong, and he suffered four losses. Then Johnny improved and defeated some top fighters. TV makes everybody big, while Walker is actually enormous. So, he might feel uncomfortable and unconventional in his movements, but still quite dangerous. Although Walker has had knockout losses and sometimes can't take a punch, he's improving in the process and is a very inconvenient opponent for Magomed.
Expert Betting Tips
Walker's wrestling isn't as dangerous as it seems, but we're paying attention to him in standing. Ankalaev's camp will take it into account. He has a higher fight IQ, and his stamina shouldn't be a problem. So, we expect a tough fight with a complete three rounds. The judges will decide the fight from here on, and Ankalaev might be their choice.
