The absolute best thing about this man is he doesn't run around gloating after the win. He just calmly appreciates his victory.
facts
He also has a big, thick, veiny hog
@@abjordan4726 celebratign a win after a long hard training camp is not gloating, your making a false comparison
Kinda like Fedor, he just does a fist bump and keeps on walking
absolutely
I felt that front kick through my screen!!
brutal.
🤣
One of my favorite fighter. So talented and cold blooded. Really wish him the best
That leg kick up the middle outta nowhere was nasty
was not even close to a leg kick
😂😂😂 its called a front kick. They are always nasty. Check out Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva front kicking Vitor Beltor in the face
Not a leg kick at all
@@in33d2floss7 how tf did that comment get 31 likes
I thought why is Kevin Holland fighting in light heavyweight
This dude makes no mistakes.
He did make a few mistakes again Thiago Santos but I am sure he fixed them over camp
Unless you don't count getting caught in Paul Craig's triangle.
True
Fat girls are tighter
@@goosebread4560 really?
Been following Ankalaev since ACB days he is a beast tabarakAllah
What an absolute beast with pure knockout power. And you have a casual like MMA Guru saying in his channel this is going to be a Dagestani snoozefest 😂😂
bisping too, he thinks magomed can’t win unless he gets a takedown 😂 doesn’t realize he’s a striker with power and high skill.
@@gynonipples7300 and faster hand speed than jan
dont take trolls to seriously, mma guru belongs under a bridge
Does mma guru not like the ground game cuz his legs don't work 🤔
Well, we've got two great counter punchers with filthy ko power and a title on the line. It is very probable it will be a technical slow-paced fight
1st check hook was so clean omg
Absolute beast.
That front kick KO I'll never forget watching that one 💥
😂😂😂😂😂
That first KO is crazy as f
This fight with jan is underrated, someone is definitely going out.
Probably will be Jan
@@forg0tin397 yep
Probably will be Jan. :(
Either someone is going out or it'll turn into a forgettable decision.
Agreed with y'all about Jan. The dude honestly never really impressed. Sure, he got the belt with that Reyes win, but damn has that lost it's luster recently. (Edit) Oh shit, I just remembered he clobbered Rockhold. That was so awesome and so necessary. So I dig Jan for doing that for humanity.
He have grappling and great knock out power.... Man he is true beast... His fighting is on another level ✨
Wow, serious power, he doesn't lough at all after the finish...!!!
Jan is definitely the best opponent he’s fought so far, can’t wait!!
Petr in another weight
@@Flash_5790 lmao what??
@@Flash_5790 he meant "Jan blachowicz" and I think you're thinking "petr yan"
It's such a shame that Jon Jones is no longer at LHW, Magomed would have been the best fighter he has ever faced, don't you think? And one of the best things about him is how he behaves after the fights, he gets that huge adrenaline rush like every other fighter but he somehow suppresses it immediately, no screaming, no celebrations, he doesn't even smile. That's a man with full control over his mind and I don't see him losing any time soon.
Ankalaev is not better than DC. DC was holding both LHW and HW belts at the same time
What a beast, the best light heavyweight on the planet imo. Very clean and complete skillset. Jan, Glover, and Jiri are not going to beat this guy.
Agreed
Khamzat woukd take him tbh
@@mukhammedkhankarkhanov8853 Khamzat scared of Costa lol
@@quas3728 who the fuckk is costa , fking casual
@@mukhammedkhankarkhanov8853 ahahahahahhahahahaha khamzat Is scared to fight the top middleweights. Ankalaev is gonna eat him alive. Do your homeworks, casual
this seemingly kind man is actually deadly
Uncrowned champ
Both his right n left hand punches are deadly, n he deserves more n more respect for his simple win celebration.
Анкалаев Магомед еще одно явления уникальное из Дагестана, новая звезда в мире единоборств, ММА‼👍❗ так держать. Как человек как горец 👍👍🔥 нравственен безумно, молодец.
Man is a bad Humble Guy all props to him.
his GnP is vicious
Magomed Ankalaev is an absolute SNIPER (my God)
hope Ankalev wins, and Jiri returns soon. Ankalev vs Jiri will be lit
he's for real, X man in the house
Next champ right here. Should be able to keep the pressure on Jan and get that belt. The guy is an exciting fighter and can finish with the best of em. But unless he gets some English flowing the ufc is gonna have a hard time marketing him, unfortunately.
Unless Khabib gets behind him, itll propel his name
They said the same about Anderson Silva. Sometimes your talents speak for themselves
@@merkins87 and Anderson was almost a dud until ol Chael came along. I do feel your talent should speak for itself but unfortunately it doesn't work like that here.
Charles Oliveira never learnt English seemed to do well during his stint
@@syed9986 the box office does not agree with your statement good sir
Glad he’s in the division to bring that spectacle like Jiri, although I think Jiri would lose against this dude even if he was healthy
Ankalaev 🔥🔥🔥
1:49 didn't know Ankalaev had great english.
That combination in first Ko is epic
That kick was just another level. Idk how that man was still standing!
Looked like he was on his way down but the kick caught him while moving forward so he stayed on his feet longer than expected
@@RustyrSpoons00 Probably , because that kick was harder than Michael Chandler
@@zeeshanraw yeah, that was a crushing front kick
The referees allowed many of those brutal finishes to go on to long
Alibulatovich Ankalaev is a beast!!!
Him and Blachowicz gonna be a banger for sure
These mountain guys just build diff.
The KO power dudes have a LHW is insane makes Jon Jones run just that much more impressive imo
Casual 🤣
@@sauviksarkar1895 Don’t talk about yourself like that
@@LifeOfScenario so u think this guy can beat jones in his prime 🤣🤣bruh..how high are u
@@sauviksarkar1895 Well if you actually passed the 1st grade and read what the comment said. He never even mentioned anything of Ankalaev can beat Jones. He was actually praising Jon Jones by saying how powerful these dudes at LHW are makes Jon Jones unbeaten streak so impressive cause he beat all these guys in great fashion. Reading is fundamental buddy and reading comprehension is a basic skill, learn it.
@@LifeOfScenario 🤦♂️🙆😅my bad bro..i read it as the ko power of ankalev makes jones run
This guy's gonna be light heavyweight champion for a long time
I agree with this statement Supreme leader
@@Comraderussian7 thank you comrade
until he fights paul craig again and taps? 😂
until jiri returns
@@CloudianMH craig was getting starched all 3 rounds
That front kick... 😮😮
Magomed "He not even smile" Ankalaev
He will smile when he has the belt.
Scary, scary man.
This guy is scary.
Beast 🔥
That front kick was insane..
That front kick omg. oww
bravo!!
Dude got bomb in his hand💥💯
He is light weight champion in the eyes of fans. No matter ufc accept him or not.
1:16 "WHAT F***ING KNOCKOUT FOR ANKALAEV"
What a front-kick knockout*
A silent killer 🔥
Insane
Magomed top. Strong💪💪 👍💚🙏
He is a BEAST
Absolute beast of a man
This man has combo knockouts
Magomed ankalaev❤
Nice👍👏
Просто пушка
Alex vs Magomed will be a great fight
"There is no question anymore"
This is who I can't wait to see
Man I really want to sign up in the UFC
مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ
I'd love to see the chaos between Ankalaev & Jiri
BEAST good luck bro
MMA Dynasty the best MMA podcast on KZhead I’m telling you guys
100% deserves the Jan fight.
fuck he does, where is paul craigs push? paul is on a win streak after beating this guy but they just ignore it because ufc is not about wins mattering.
And New Magomed Ankalaev!Easy Win!))))
My new favourite fighter
I think this fight will be more interesting than the rematch Jiri vs Glover. I like Jan but I see him as underdog!
Ankalav is the new champion
U should worry about his kick, damn it's scary 😲🔥
I ❤ UFC
The front kick to that boy...yikes
D E V I S T A T I N G Punches
Анкалаев красавчик
Interessante como Ankalaev espera o momento certo para dar o contra golpe fatal. agora que mão pesada é essa meu amigo kkk
Champ 🔥
Hes soo fast
🏆 Incoming
Wtf was ion doing. Dude loaded up, left himself open, and didn’t even commit
This dude just lands the most punishing shots over and over and destroys the opponents. Just by watching this highlight my money is with this guy, Blackowich is talking about this title opportunity as an early Christmas gift as if he already won.
Maşallah
Dangerous!
All in on him after watching this 🫡🤣
actually I did not know he was this good
he has some really fast kicks for a light heavyweight
Killer
Magomed let's go
Ankhalaev the best
I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched him put Cutelaba to sleep
UFC doesn’t even have him in the running
He is like a lion frm south Africa
New UFC Light Heavyweight Champion- Magomed Ankalaev. Will have that belt until he retires.
This man is very deadly but why he is not so popular liglke other mma figter..many of his takedown is like spkit second boom the opponent down
Holy Hell😱😱
hopefully Polish power triumphs on saturday. However, Ankalaev is no joke and has great technique
Polish power has been rusty
@@chegogovorish2184unfortunately yes and he will likely lose but I just want to see a good fight.
Dagestan power
Jan blachowicz might be one of the finest striker ever in ufc but this fight is also close interms of the striking department too...if the fight stays on the feet it will be hella close but i m sure magomed will mix in some wrestling in between just to keep Jan guessing...i think it will be a one sided fight showing the level's of Ankalaev
New Champ ! InchAllah
And New!!!!!!!!!!! 👑
