Many fans were waiting for a moment that will never come. They were waiting for a moment that they had become air -conditioned – by granite knuckles and shin Alex Perera – To expect, and yet, ticking by seconds and minutes. So, accustomed to looking at “Paont”, they live up to my “stone hands” monicors And crushing opponents like a pestle in a mortar, instead saw the sand slip through his title defense glasses. Magomed Anklev,
And in fact, each time from Anklev had a grain on a grain on a grain on a grain, until the reality was not disputed (or should be): Russian Light-Havivite had only excluded PereraA unanimous decision is valid by victory. The 49–46 scorecard was the best, while two 48–47s flatter Perera; And yet, there were some fans who opposed Perera.
Really, Brazil Was not especially Closed on Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena at March night: Not closer to landout shot, and Anklev does not have enough to curb the fake-live lead by Russian. Perera impressed neutralizing Anklev’s wrestling, and yet, to surprise those who profiled the tainth as ‘just another wrestler’, Anklev won the legs on the feet.
It is not necessary to have a surprise. While 33-year-old Anklev does not have a striking lineage of his kickboxing-champion rival, he is also not an all-out grapler who estimated some based on his background-despite the opposite evidence. Therefore, although Perera failed Anklev’s wrestling, the challenger’s well -round game proved to be sufficient to put him one step ahead of the champion, which lost the situation over the 205LB division by the end of the night.
There was a sombre shift within a part of the MMA fanbase, and a significant change in the sports scenario. Perera was a magnificent champion in the cage, by re -adding aristocratic fighters to the shapes trapped on the canvas, and out of it a recreational, a recreational, bends into a meme culture and displays an unexpected feeling.
Like Brazil, Anklev has a decrease in English, yet despite this language obstruction, there is no similar ability to connect with a comprehensive fan. Furthermore, Anklev is not a stranger for a stagnation, but he has not proved himself that they are able to emphasize them with the same stability or population.
Therefore, Ankalev was a controversial for many fans likely to take Perera’s throne. And for those impure fans, UFC 320 cannot offer a reprive,
Anklev and Perera returns to T-Mobile Arena on Saturday Well, the word “wrestling” cannot be, yet Anklev’s coach feels that such a strategy will be the best chance of Perera’s victory, as he The latest example of unexpected needle rejected Brazil’s power Between the fighters and their teams.
“Alex Clinic will go to wrestling,” coach Sukhrab Magomedov claimed. “Why? Because in the stand-up, nothing will work for him. Alex Perera, there is nothing with which he can surprise us. He can’t surprise his work in the stand-up, he cannot certainly surprise in wrestling. He cannot surprise anything.
Then the kicker came. “The powerful punch? Alex has a punch, but not the kind that can actually exclude you.”
It was a jib that was after that Parira’s own excavation on Anklev, when rivals faced Last week at the UFC Performance Institute in Vegas. “I never said anything; he spoke,” Perera said through a translator. “Now he comes out from somewhere and we are face to face, you are a coward.”
These latest exchange comes after the decline from March, when Perera Indicated on an injury that almost motivated him to withdrawWhile coach Magomidov suggested that Brazil was “smooth” (To make yourself difficult).
“It seemed to me that Perera was some kind of substance on him. Sweat did not flow from his body, it raised up. [Ankalaev] Later said that he smells as if he was some ointment and sticky. ,
Perera denied allegationsSnipping: “I like [Ankalaev’s coach is] Trying to make an excuse to justify the fact that he trained a man to take me down, but the man was filled at 12 Techdown. You mess up and you try to make excuses to justify it. You should ask if we put Vaseline on the mat too? ,
This needle has helped to increase the expectation for some extent rematch, yet the promotion has not equalized the previous Perera outing. And any protest on one side, coach Magomedov really has a point? Are Perera’s skills at least, now 38 with Brazil?
Results and performance, preventing their loss to Anklev, do not suggest. Between November 2023 and October 2024, he won the 205LB belt through a knockout and maintained it three times in the same way. In that run, he stopped former-champion Jiri Prachzka twice, another former champion in Jamhal Hill, and the game Khalil Routery Junior.
Anklev and his team cannot afford the decency. Perera’s power does not discriminate, regardless of the caliber of his enemies. Still no one can help, but it feels that Anklev may have Perera’s number, and that – as far as the poton is. main It is worried – its number may increase.
