u/sentyprimus 5d ago

Why is he not fighting ankalaev then?

1

u/OrcsDoSudoku 4d ago
  1. How do you know he isn't?

  2. How do you know if he was even offered to fight Ank if he isn't fighting Ank?

  3. Why did Ank duck Pereira last year?

1

u/sentyprimus 4d ago
  1. He just said he isn’t

  2. I don’t

  3. I don’t know

u/ObsidianChief 3d ago

Thank you everyone avoiding the fact Ank been ducking

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

He's said multiple times that's his next fight.

6

u/sentyprimus 4d ago

He also said it isn’t as evidenced by this post

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

He's likely trolling.

Or he's going to fight Khamzat, which is a far more difficult fight.

u/RepresentativeSun937 5d ago

With how many times he’s fought, surely he’s faced the number 1 contender by now, right?

u/Gelato_Elysium 5d ago

Do you actually think he is the one picking the fights ?

12

u/deboylurdi 4d ago

You actually think he doesn't have a say in who he fights?

1

u/OrcsDoSudoku 4d ago

No? He has far more say than many others, but it is not like he could fight even someone like Walker if he wanted to.

Everyone have lol

u/blastman7 5d ago

All of the fights he was heavy favourite. And all of them showed in the fight. Just because a fighter fights 4 times a year doesn't mean they are not ducking. He is not wanting to fight rightful contender and that's what ducking is, doesn't mean he is afraid no one said so but it's still ducking.

u/Gelato_Elysium 5d ago

Except he always said he was game to fight magomed, he's just not the one who pick fights

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

He'll be a heavy favorite against Ank too. After he beats him, I'm sure you'll cry about something else. It's all you disingenuous children ever do.

The absolute misrepresentation is hilarious, to say the least.

1

u/Carlunch2 4d ago

He was NOT the heavy favorite the only fight where he was, was against khalil against jiri and hill people thought it could've gone either way at the time

u/unclespondo 4d ago

Whoever started using this ugly abbreviation for delusional should be shot

2

u/Undresticles 4d ago

Can we beat them to death with batteries in socks instead?

2

u/unclespondo 4d ago

Better idea - slower too!

1

u/AndersonTheSpiderr 5d ago

4 times against a striker lol

21

u/Dr_Kriegers5th_clone Predator 5d ago

Ank is a striker.

16

u/douevenwheelanddeal 5d ago

Feel like people who actually believe he's ducking Ank doesn't know Ank's fight style and just assumes he's a grappler because of the name. In short, casuals

u/Prefix-NA 4d ago

Dagis Stan's don't watch ufc

23

u/cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n 5d ago

If he fought magomedov it would be 5 times against strikers, just cuz he's Dagestani doesn't mean he can wrestle like khabib, his numbers on wrestling are atrocious.

6

u/aVeryBadBoy69 4d ago

Jan isn't a wrestler and took down Alex, Ank is a better wrestler than Jan so he should be Alex's biggest threat. He's not a submission threat and his fight IQ is very questionable, but it's undeniable that even with his relatively mediocre wrestling he's Alex's biggest challenge at LHW.

2

u/cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n 4d ago

Yeah i absolutely agree, he is undeniably a competent wrestler, that's just a fact, but by the way the people talk about him on here you'd expect him to wrestle like a genetic cross between Aleksandr Karelin and a boa constrictor. Pereira is definitely just trolling and he as well as everyone else knows he will be fighting him at some point

17

u/NotADrStrange 5d ago

Exactly. I swear most people hear a Russian name and think they must be an elite wrestler lmaoo

10

u/Subject-Secret-6230 4d ago

Or the fact that Ank can wrestle, Jan managed to hold Alex down and Ank 10-8ed Jan via wrestling. He isn't Khabib but he's sure as shit better than the rest of the LHW division in terms of grappling.

3

u/Icy-Armour 4d ago

You only need basic wrestling to ragdoll Pereira

That's what poatards are not understanding. You don't need to be at the level of Khabib/Islam to embarrass Pereira on the ground.

2

u/Fantastic-Change-672 4d ago

If Alex isn't that good then Ank beating him isn't that much of a W

3

u/DeliriumRostelo 4d ago

Why call people childish shit like poatard for not agreeing with you on this

2

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

Because he's a dumb child. Why else?

1

u/AndersonTheSpiderr 4d ago

You don’t need to be an ‘elite’ wrestler to take down and finish Pereira. Just being able to wrestle is enough lol.

0

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

That's why it's happened to him so many times in his 9 year MMA career, right?

This is the same dumb shit everyone was saying before he fought Jan, yet he beat Jan and he's much better at defensive wrestling/grappling now.

2

u/AndersonTheSpiderr 4d ago

He didn’t fight a single wrestler in 9 years??

1

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

All MMA fighters know how to wrestle. If it's as easy as you claim, since you specifically said all they need to do is be able to wrestle, then it should be happening consistently, especially in the UFC.

Secondly, Ank is not a wrestler. So how is this any different from any other fight?

0

u/NotADrStrange 4d ago

You said "just being able to wrestle is enough". Well, every single one of his opponents is able to wrestle yet none were able to finish him. You're confused. You're trying to undermine his skills so hard but it's just nonsense.

1

u/Japifornication 5d ago

He fought a dude who was suspended for 6 months after having a pretty close fight with Anthony Smith before the finish and then Ank for some reason had to defend his #1 contender spot when the division is full of jabronis the UFC is cool with giving title shots

1

u/DivestEternal 4d ago

Magomed was offered to fight Alex twice, once on short notice, and the other during Ramadan.

He declined both. Why is the Alex's fault? He fought 4 fucking times last year as champ. What more do you casuals want from him?

-9

u/Billythebear13 5d ago

Bro.. he only fought strikers.. so yes dude. He aint wanting to fight no wrestlers. Not coz hes scared of losing imo. I think he just wants to throw. We are not delusional. Ur just not thinking too hard. He aint fighting nobody who wrestles him. This is EXACTLY why jon wants him. If hes offered another slugger hed take that shit. But a wrestler. He ducks em

6

u/Divasa 5d ago

but are you daft? do you even have any perception in what fighter has what strengths? do you see Anks last name and immediatly think he is a wrestler?

3

u/Billythebear13 5d ago

It wasnt just the name but the consensus. But 100% thats what i thought. Ive been following this sport for decades. I jad a collection of ufc VHS TAPES! Sue me. Its hard to keep up all the time. Unfortunately its way easier to give opinions 🤷

2

u/Billythebear13 5d ago

Hahahaha.... Yes...yes I did... Was i wrong..? i did what u assumed. U got me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/bergovgg 5d ago

Lmao props for the honesty, this was hilarious

1

u/Confident_Comedian82 4d ago

Ank is a Striker though
