UFC 320 en Las Vegas: Ankalaev retoma la revancha contra Pereira
UFC 320 deslumbró en T‑Mobile Arena, con Ankalaev defendiendo su título ante Pereira y una cartelera de doble campeonato que marcó un hito en el MMA.
When you think of dominant forces in modern MMA, Magomed Ankalaev, un luchador ruso de peso pesado con un récord impecable y un estilo de combate imparable. Also known as "The Eagle", he combines technical precision with relentless pressure, making him one of the most feared fighters in the UFC’s heavyweight division. Unlike many who rely on raw power, Ankalaev wins with strategy, timing, and an almost surgical ability to control the pace of a fight. His background in combat sambo and wrestling gives him a unique edge—few can match his takedown defense or his ground-and-pound efficiency.
What sets him apart isn’t just his record—it’s how he handles pressure. In a division full of power hitters and flashy strikers, Ankalaev stays calm, picks his moments, and breaks opponents down slowly. He doesn’t need to knock you out in the first round; he just needs to survive the first five minutes and then take over. His wins over top contenders like Johnny Walker and Alexander Volkov weren’t flukes—they were demonstrations of elite-level discipline. And while fans debate who the next UFC heavyweight champion will be, many agree: if Ankalaev stays healthy, the belt is his for the taking.
His influence goes beyond the octagon. Young fighters in Russia and across Europe now train specifically to emulate his movement, his footwork, his ability to turn defense into offense. Coaches use his fights as case studies in patience and control. Even outside the UFC, his name is becoming a benchmark for what a modern heavyweight should look like: strong, smart, and unflappable.
Below you’ll find articles that touch on his fights, his training, and how he’s reshaping the expectations for what a champion in MMA can be. From breakdowns of his most decisive victories to how he handles the mental side of the sport, these stories give you the full picture—not just the highlights.
