Pereira vs. Ankalaev Best Bets For UFC 313, Saturday, 3/8

  • Alex Pereira: Coming off his dominant kickboxing career and impressive UFC title run, Pereira brings a striking style that has knocked out top-tier competitors. His power in the stand-up game, along with his ability to finish fights early, makes him a dangerous fighter. However, Pereira has yet to fully prove himself in the grappling department against top-tier opponents like Ankalaev.
     
  • Magomed Ankalaev: Known for his well-rounded skill set, Ankalaev is a master of controlling the pace of the fight. With solid striking, wrestling, and an impressive fight IQ, Ankalaev is a fighter who knows how to exploit weaknesses in his opponents. His versatility and ability to mix things up could give him an edge against Pereira’s striking.

 

 

 

UFC 313 Predictions & Picks: Saturday, March 8th

Alex Pereira By KO (+150 at DraftKings)

Pereira’s knockout power is undeniable, if he wants to win this fight he is going to have to land clean powerful strikes, and I don’t think that Ankalaev is going to be able to hold up under the pressure.

Curtis Blaydes By KO (+110 at DraftKings)

Blaydes has a clear wrestling advantage, but unlike a lot of wrestlers, Blaydes never attempts to win his fights by submission. He’s the best wrestler in the Heavyweight division, and against an opponent making his UFC debut he should be able to get the fight where he wants and dominate.

Joshua Van KO In Round 3 (+1200 at DraftKings)

This is a longshot, but it makes sense for the price. Van is the better striker and has better cardio, but his opponent Rei has the wrestling advantage so early on in the fight he is going to have to fight off the takedowns.

By the time the third round comes around, Rei is likely going to be fighting on fumes, and the third round is Van’s best round.
