Poatan rematches Ankalaev at UFC 320
In the first confrontation between the two, held in UFC 313On March 8th of this year, Poatan had a solid performance defending against takedowns. The Russian made 12 attempts over the five rounds, none of which were successful. The Brazilian remained standing the entire time, using a firm base and well-adjusted defensive clinches.
Despite his resistance in his takedown attempts, the final result was not favorable to the São Paulo native. Ankalaev won by unanimous decision after employing a strategy centered on pressure against the fence, a flurry of strikes in the clinch, and positional dominance, even without effectively taking the fight to the ground.
