vs Cody Gibson clear UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs Guskov Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 19, 2026
Plain win statement ("I'm going to take"); the only hedge ("probably") lands on the finish method, not the win, so the grade is not demoted.
A UFC newcomer riding a 5-0 run, graded a good striker and a good-to-solid grappler. His board and the analyst's own words both lean on combos, shot selection and knees on the feet, with takedowns, trips, position work and a varied choke arsenal on the mat. The analyst frames him as the better grappler of the two and expects that submission threat to be the deciding factor. No weaknesses were voiced for him.
