Tom Apinall, UFC interim heavyweight champion, commented on Magomed Ankalaev's win over Alex Pereira.

"I still have no idea of Pereira's level of wrestling, but I believe he's wary of being on the ground. He's definitely good at defending against translations, but I don't think Ancalaev really tried to take him down.

There were a couple real attempts. Ancalaev had 10 or 11 attempts, but only had two or three takedowns. The rest of the time he tried to wear him down in grappling, wrestling against the cage. Ancalaev had the perfect plan," said Aspinall.
