We saw these two clash some two and a half months ago, leaving the spectators shocked and appalled with the way things ended. As many remember, this was a no-contest due to Ankalaev’s illegal knee. Walker first nagged about the Russian’s move, and when the judge in the octagon stopped the fight, he wanted to continue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the past three years, Ankalaev has established himself as a force to be reckoned with, consistently proving his mettle at the top of the division. Many still contend that in his questionable draw against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 282, Ankalaev truly deserved the victory and the title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ankalaev possesses incredible versatility, with the Russian knowing how to hurt the rivals via striking and wrestling. Meanwhile, his ability to execute takedowns is superb, while his defensive prowess is nothing short of extraordinary, and we saw that in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
