if anything anev had the biggest moments
0:02
like the just not just pushing Up Up
0:05
Against the Cage but I felt like his
0:07
striking was Landing better too just
0:09
because P had to respect the takeown so
0:12
much he was pushing him back yeah he was
0:15
uh F majority of the fight yeah up until
0:18
I think it was the fifth round where per
0:20
that was his round and that's when he
0:21
started coming forward and starting like
0:24
really making his presence known in the
0:26
Octagon yeah it still didn't feel like
0:28
anything got through clean though like
0:31
uh the leg kicks were doing work uh
0:34
that's what a lot of people expected him
0:37
to just double down on the leg kicks uh
0:41
really taking his tire the wind or the
0:43
air out of his tires but he wasn't able
0:46
to find it as well as Yan blakovich was
0:49
when he fought anv so it was kind of
0:52
surprising that P looked so out of sorts
0:55
and he was being pushed back like you
0:57
were saying the entire time and he
0:59
couldn't really find the clean shot or
1:01
his counters and the thing that
1:03
impressed me about anv is that he used
1:06
the takedown and he fainted it hard in
1:08
order to land strikes up top he did like
1:11
there were maybe two exchanges where it
1:13
looked like he hurt and rocked p and I
1:16
felt like the same didn't happen on
1:18
padaa side he was moving and he was
1:20
dictating but he wasn't dropping ancle
1:23
or making it really obvious that he
1:24
landed nice no it was I mean it was a
1:27
competitive fight I thought it was a
1:28
close fight um I I don't think it was a
1:31
robbery I think that anev had a really
1:34
smart game plan and he did exactly what
1:36
he needed to do to take Pera out of his
1:41
comfort zone which is you know
1:43
pressuring coming forward um
