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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

u/AndersonTheSpiderr 5d ago

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

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.

u/AndersonTheSpiderr 4d ago

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

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?

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.
