I saw at the press conference after the fight and Ankalaev challenged Pereira to fight for the belt. I think it's natural that Ankalaev would want a title shot as he is currently on a 12 win streak, being the longest winstreak of any active fighter in LHW currently. And he said that he would fight standing and that reminded me of what Blachowiz said when he fought Adesanya before where Jan said he would fight standing but in the end when he saw Adesanya's striking ability he chose to use his wrestling. I think Ankalaev is worthy of a title shot in his next fight.

His camp and even Ankalaev would surely want a shot at the belt they want now but for sure Dana White and the UFC have some plans for Alex Pereira, this is what I think, Alex Pereira has been the cash cow right now because Israel Adesanya unexpectedly lost to Sean Strickland which is not in the plan for the UFC, because the real Cash cow was Adesanya and now it is Pereira, they are making Pereira big, and for sure 1 more fight for Ankalaev and then the UFC will promise the title shot,

I didn't think he got lucky. I think he actually did the hard work and he was able to earn the belt. Now there is a catch. People will tell me that if he actually earned the belt, he should be able to defend the belt successfully, but I think it is going to be hard for him for sure.

I don't know if DDP will knock him out or not. But I think this is a hard fight for Strickland and I won't be surprised if he actually gets knocked out by Du Plessis. But it is also not going to be a surprise for me if Strickland can actually win this fight.

What I am trying to say is that this fight is going to be 50-50 for both of the fighters. And I also think that in this fight, timing is going to be everything.

Du Plessis is ginormous if you look at him and compare him to Strickland he looks like a buffer, but for sure Sean Strickland's defense is unparallel It is really effective against Adesanya, and for sure Israel Adesanya will be on long hiatus because of that lost, Sean Strickland really did get into his head from all those trash talks he has said to Adesanya while in the fight Adesanya can not do a thing he was really frustrated on what has happened he was really pissed in himself and for sure he doesn't really know why his punch isn't making through to Strickland, for sure Strickland's trash talking works in pissing Izzy, for sure right now he is enjoying his time Vlogging in his channel,
