Winner: Alex Pereira
Confidence Score: 85Both fighters demonstrate exceptional prowess, but Alex Pereira stands out due to his striking expertise and momentum carried from his championship status and recent victories. Pereira's 63% significant strikes accuracy and a remarkable reach advantage coupled with his knockout power provide him the tools to dictate the pace of the fight against Ankalaev. On the contrary, while Ankalaev has strong mixed martial arts foundations, his primary reliance on striking might not severly challenge Pereira’s seasoned kickboxing background. Thus, Pereira's tactical skillset and recent form make him the likely victor.
