Round 1 – Great first round! Both had moments in the round, but Fiziev got a takedown and the better of the exchanges. Fiziev has swelling in his right eye and appears to have injured his toe.

Round 3 – Pereira did a good job coming back after being hurt badly last round. He might have done enough to pull out the round.
Round 4 – Pereira’s takedown defense is on full display in this round. Ankalaev spent most of the round grappling and controlling Pereira on the fence, which was a great round for the Challenger.
Round 5 – Pereira controlled the offense and landed the better shots. Ankalaev unsuccessfully attempted another takedown but controlled the champion against the cage in the last minute. It was a very close fight!
