It is not surprising that Ankalaev tried to take the initiative from the very beginning of the fight and bit his opponent. He managed to hit Walker a few times, but not hard enough to end the fight early. After the first round, everything was still possible.
Everything changed after a short break. Dagestanis attacked more and more strongly and after 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the second round they reached the goal. First, he hit the Brazilian with a powerful hook, after which he fell to the floor in a flash. On the ground, Ankalaev added another blow and the referee immediately stopped the fight.
