UFC middleweight contender gives his prediction on Alex Pereira vs. Magomed Ankalaev
UFC middleweight contender Bo Nickal took to his YouTube channel to share predictions for the much-awaited clash between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
Nickal stated that Ankalaev does not possess good wrestling skills as people believe, citing his loss to Paul Craig in his UFC debut. Picking Pereira as the winner, he said:
"I don't think his wrestling is that good. He wrestled with Paul Craig, and Paul Craig was taking him down, and Paul Craig was reversing him. So, I mean, obviously, Craig ended up submitting him but I feel like (I'm) not impressed with his ground game, his grappling. He's going to have to strike with him at some point, and I think Pereira will knock him out. Like, he just, that's just the reality of the situation."
