Pick principal: Magomed Ankalaev beats Bogdan Guskov.
Trust: 4/5.
Explanation: Ankalaev has many more tools to control a long combat. It can compete with Guskov in the distance, but his decisive advantage is in mixing the striking with leg entrances, pressure against the cage and control from above. Guskov retains a real threat for its power and ability to find completion, especially during the first rounds, although it accepts this combat at short notice and faces for the first time a five-way test rounds To a rival that's hard to mess up. Ankalaev should avoid unnecessary exchanges at the beginning and have work done by Guskov in each clinch. If you overcome the initial danger, you should extend your advantage as you avance combat.
Suggestions: Ankalaev ML only for short combination. Alternative: Ankalaev by KO/TKO or decision over 1.5 rounds are also interesting if Guskov adopts a prudent start.
Quota cut ML: Under 1.20 not have sufficient value in simple; it would be usable in combination until approximately 1.25.
