Blachowicz vs Ankalaev UFC 282 Prediction
Ankalaev and Blachowicz both are well rounded light heavyweights who prefer to keep things standing up but are also capable of both defending and earning takedowns in the grappling game.
Statistically, Blachowicz is the more productive grappler out of the two with a higher takedown average and takedown success rate per UFC Stats.
Ankalaev is historically better at defending takedowns than Blachowicz, holding a very impressive 86% takedown defense rate throughout his UFC career. He also holds a win over one of the few fighters to beat Blachowicz inside the Octagon, holding a recent win over Thiago Santos after their headline fight at UFC Fight Night this March.
Holder of the second longest win streak in UFC light heavyweight history, Ankalaev should earn victory over the aging Blachowicz to increase the streak to 10 in a row. Expect a decision victory for Ankalaev after a hard-fought battle between two of the best in the world in their weight class in a perfect fight to round out 2022 in the UFC.
