Magomed Ankalayev in all respects he is stronger than the Brazilian Johnny Walker, but the upcoming fight will not be easy for the Russian, because he regularly encounters difficulties in important fights, the head of AMC Fight Nights told Kamil Gadzhiev.
The fight between Ankalaev and Walker will headline the UFC Fight Nights 234 tournament, which will take place on January 13 in Las Vegas (USA).
– This fight will not be easy for Ankalaev. Yes, Magomed is stronger in all aspects, but he regularly struggles in very important fights. Apparently there is a question of psychology here. Show less than possible. This is where annoying errors sometimes occur.
There is also a question of mentality here. Foreigners historically have an easier attitude towards everything. To victories and defeats. Russians are structured differently. Therefore, I think Ankalaev is now psychologically bloated and exhausted. This could play a cruel joke on him. So let’s prepare for the fight to be difficult,” Gadjiev told .
Last October, Ankalaev met Walker at UFC 294, but the fight was declared a draw due to an illegal strike by the Russian in the first round. Third number one in the UFC light heavyweight rankings, Ankalaev has 17 wins, losses and draws. Walker had 21 victories and suffered seven defeats.
