If you're a Jiri fan you should thank Goddard. You're boy was about to get slept hard.excellent, fuck goddard
Another fight where Alex Pereira's wrestling will not get tested.. Huge disappointment. Should be Ankalaev next.
Scaredy catThe ugly, boring, Ankalaev thinks "he" can dictate terms to the crowd-pleasing Champ-Champion ... and so ruined his own chances.
No one to blame but himself.
Ank won't fight until the end of the year and wants Abu Dhabi, where he last got away with a NC for a clearer DQ.I thought Belal... I mean Ankalaev was promised the next title shot.
Ank has one win in his last three fights.Anyone want to lay out an argument as to why Ankalaev even deserves a title shot? Something other than he's a grappler, when he's really just a striker with low IQ.
Fun fact, Ankalaev has 0 submission wins in his entire career and has 10 KO victories.
He has fought Jan, Smith , Volkan, Krylov and Walker x2 in the rankings...Ankalaev will clean out the division before getting a chance lol. This is so stupid.
18-1-1-(1) What a weird record haha. 1-1-(1) in his last 3 when it should have been a DQ loss anywhere else than one of the most corrupt local cards we have ever seen.Ank has one win in his last three fights.
What more could he possibly do to earn that title shot?
( on the date and location he chose)
Jan is out for double shoulder surgery. he's not coming back for a while..He has fought Jan, Smith , Volkan, Krylov and Walker x2 in the rankings...
He has 9 guys he could still fight including the champ and you could easily redo Jan vs Ank but the UFC is too scared to put that turd sandwhich on again.
I am moderately confident he will fight before Ank again to be honest. I wasn't aware of that though.Jan is out for double shoulder surgery. he's not coming back for a while..
Lol hey man as you said, we don't know shit about shit until contracts are signed.@13Seconds thought so too.
Lol hey man as you said, we don't know shit about shit until contracts are signed.
What we do know is that Ankalaev called to fight at the end of the year. Pereira wants to fight sooner to stay active.
I hope the UFC can solve this and meet their requests in the middle. Ank doesn't call the shots and it's crazy to demand the champion to wait for the challenger. In the end, i think Pereira/Ankalaev is happening next. Or i hope so.
yes and since getting that title shot and blowing it he has done less than jiri there is a strong argument for either, of course, everyone wants to see someone with a strong ground game fight poatanAlso, he DID get a title shot and he blew it.
