Krylov vs. Ankalaev: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Krylov 27-7 | Ankalaev 14-1
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
Since arriving at the UFC level, Krylov has alternated wins and losses in his four fights. He has a win by submission over Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 236, so he has the tools to win on any night. He has losses to Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira, which are certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. While that’s all well and good, Ankalaev enters on a three-bout KO/TKO streak, including back-to-back round-1 stoppages against Ion Cutelaba. Roll with ANKALAEV BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (-125) on the 5-way line.

Over/Under (O/U)
Play NO (-200): “WILL THE FIGHT GO THE DISTANCE?” While risking two times your potential return is a little more than I like to spend, it’s a good bet we’ll get a finish between these two. UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-155) is a slightly better value.
In addition, roll with ANKALAEV TO WIN ROUND 1 (+225) for a chance to more than double up. Each of his past two fights haven’t lasted past the first round.
