I got a quick question

I hope there is someone with more knowledge on the subject. This event is anounced,and everyone is talking about how Ankalaev is going to take down Alex and how he is this Elite wrestler…. Where did that all come from,cause I did a quick search,didn’t spend hours on it but a good 10 mins, I can’t find where this idea that Ankalaev is an amazing wrestler came from,no wrestling background,no competitions,from what I saw in past ufc events his focus is kickboxing, I don’t doubt that he can wrestle but an “Elite wrestler” is crazy. All of the videos of him wrestling are normal drills that any UFC fighter does including Perreira. Not a better striker than Alex,he is a prime target for leg kicks,I don’t understand why he is the favourite in this fight. (Btw im not some crazy Alex fan,but just a bit confused on the subject) submitted by /u/uhhnahhhhhh [link] [comments]
