Résumé du résultat
Magomed Ankalaev made a methodical and calculated return to the win column against late-replacement Bogdan Guskov. For the first four rounds, Ankalaev utilized a highly patient game plan, managing distance perfectly with kicks and repeatedly snapping side kicks into Guskov's midsection to halt any forward momentum. Guskov simply had no answers for the technical striking on the outside. In the fifth round, Ankalaev shifted gears and initiated grappling exchanges. After securing a takedown, he shrugged off a desperate choke attempt from Guskov, took top position, and began raining down heavy ground-and-pound. The relentless punishment forced referee Marc Goddard to step in and wave off the fight at 2:41 of the final round, granting Ankalaev an emphatic TKO victory.
Aperçu du combat
Ankalaev enters this fight as a former UFC light heavyweight champion who captured the belt from Alex Pereira in March 2025 before losing it via first-round TKO in the October 2025 rematch — a result that raised real questions about his durability under pressure. Guskov steps in on less than two weeks' notice replacing the injured Khalil Rountree Jr., bringing an unblemished finishing record across all 18 of his professional wins and 13 first-round stoppages, making him one of the most dangerous short-notice replacements the division has seen.
Clés de la victoire
Magomed Ankalaev
- Establish wrestling early to remove Guskov's knockout threat and control pace from the clinch
- Maintain strict distance management and force Guskov to miss before landing sharp counters
- Drag the fight into the championship rounds where Guskov has no tested track record
Bogdan Guskov
- Cut the cage relentlessly and smother Ankalaev's counter-striking rhythm with forward pressure
- Look for the early finish — his best form lives in the first round and short-notice prep favors aggression over a game plan
- Force scrambles and transitions where his finishing instincts can override Ankalaev's technical discipline
