Buckley has eaten some monstrous shots and had such little reactions at times that commentators almost miss it.
Buckley will get hit but it's not a foregone conclusion that he will get knocked out. He's also 7 years younger and faster and more explosive than Curtis and has more tools with kicks and some decent wrestling vs just boxing. Curtis has 100% TDD in the UFC which is a very misleading stat if you watch his PFL fights. It's a good stylistic matchup for Curtis in that Buckley will enter into his range and engage him on Curtis terms but that doesn't mean Curtis should be favored imo. It just means there is some uncertainty on the outcome.

Cameron Saaiman, DEC
This fight is so sick!!! Koslow has been running thru Florida regional scene forever with his slick ass BJJ, haven't seen his boxing in awhile.

Vinicious has perfect chin up in the air leaning head back with arms down defence that I love to see. He is getting KTFO soon. Also have not seen any of his other fights I can remember but I am now going to study with interest because looking at that one fight I will predict he gasses out after 7 mins and then will slow down and get clipped.
I think there is a very very good chance Da Silva knocks this guy into next week. So this will be my first tape study of the week and maybe a big underdog play.
Thanks!

Man you should stick to some other sport like lawn bowls or croquet. You obviously don't understand anything about MMA.
Retire please.

Dude just doesn't wrestle, his TD accuracy is like 30% and he shoots once every blue moon. Ankalev is only going to shoot on Jan if he gets caught and needs to recover.

I'm not saying he will spam takedowns on Jan, but if he needs to he can definitely get takedowns

the main reason why you can't recall him intensively and continuously wrestling in his ufc career off the top of your head is because these well rounded caucasus fighters have a ********ly huge ego, they want to beat their opponents AT their games
so if they're fighting a westerner who's known to be a striker, they'll make it a point to outstrike them, if they're fighting a westerner who's known to be a high level grappler, they'll make it a point to outgrapple them
some very obvious example of this are:
ankalaev deciding to grapple with insanely high level bjj player paul craig
ankalaev making it a point to knock out cutelaba
khabib making it a point to outstrike conor mcgregor
khabib staying on the feet with poirier
arman tsarukyan making it a point to outgrapple joel alvarez who's also a very high level bjj player
islam making it a point to submit charles
and the list goes on and on and on, make no mistake ankalaev WILL outwrestle jan pretty easily especially if you look what 50 year old glover did to jan in his last fight and how easily he controlled him and submitted him

if you look a bit further into the matchup, cutelaba unironically had a fairly bit of success landing that right multiple times on ankalaev in their 2nd fight. if cutelaba can touch you up with his right hand then jan is going to commit war crimes on you with his right hand.
having said that, jan by tko isn't a crazy outcome, not very highly probable but still very much so on the table - ankalaev by submission or gnp tko in my opinion is the most probable outcome
ankalaev doesn't really finish dudes on the ground but when you're in a 5 round fight while only having trained for a 3 round fight, you'll most likely look to put the other guy out in the first 3 to avoid your cardio failing you miserably in the championship rounds
