10 Crazy UFC Fights You Must Watch In February

4. Magomed Ankalaev Vs. Nikita Krylov - UFC Fight Night 186

If you're one of the many people who like to supplement their MMA viewing with a cheeky bet on the side, then we've got one for you that simply can't go wrong. All you need to do is bet that this fight will not go the distance. Why? Well, because Nikita Krylov and Magomed Ankalaev are fight-finishing machines who very rarely go to decision.

Dagestani striker, Anklaev, has nine knockouts out to his name, including a sensational, yet brutal knockout over Ion Cutelaba at UFC 254. Krylov has 26 wins to his name and he's managed to finish 25 of them via knockout or submission.

While Krylov does have a noticeable weakness in terms of submission defence, if you look at his opponent's style of fighting, being taken down isn't something he'll have to worry about too much.

What both men will have to worry about though is the fact they're likely to be on the end of a highlight reel finish.
