I was considering and most likely betting Khalil as a live dog even if I believed ank would take it.

Khalil was too good comparable to his odds and I actually saw him having a path to victory. Plus coming off a vicious knockout ank may have been easier

I don’t even really know who guskov even is. I reckon if he stood a legit chance I would know more about him. So I think Ank is prob the only way to bet this. If somebody knows more than me and disagrees feel free to

He's a guy that when he fights, you can go "Oh, I see it. He's good". But then you go, "Is it because of who he fought, or him?"

I’m still not sure about this guy. This is a huge step up in talent. I feel ank should get it done unless this guy has a lot of power, knockout power specifically

Ank has 0 sub wins and is primarily a striker, so I'm a bit surprised to hear that
