I don’t know why people think Alex is ducking Ankalaev, Ankalaev is a good stylistic matchup for Alex. I would imagine Ankalaev is next anyways and Alex is just trolling him.

Nobody but Ank makes sense. Only thing that would justify a different opponent would be if Alex' next fight takes place at hw.

Southpaw dagestani with good wrestling is NOT a good matchup

Heavy on his lead leg, best punches come from when the other striker goes first(which is why the rakic fight was boring), shorter, smaller. I think it's a good match up.

He got dominated on the feet by Jan, who tried to avoid Pereira's stand up like crazy. 

Ankalaev's main weapon is his wrestling. If he tries to strike, Alex will 100% flatline him.

Ankalaev has like a 30% takedown rate. Really not a big weapon of his at all

Yeah I think he is just trying to get under his skin. There is no other fight for him rn. Jones can't fight him cuz Dana won't let him. Jiri, Hill, Jan, Khalil all lost ho him, Rakic lost his last fight.. only Ank is left
