Fight Result – Ankalaev to win
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.
