Rumored Alex Pereira Fighting in March?; Rogan Says Poatan using Ramadan return date to mess w/ Ankalaev

[Unheralded Truth]

Watch Chimaev accept the fight despite being used to welterweight, probably saying he's got an appetite to kill!
As Donald lets him in he won't care about no ramadan, it's deemed OK to skip for the sake of travels after all.

Assuming this source is true, then that's suspicious that Pereira fights in the 1 month that ramadan is observed, could have easily fought in April and got the Ankalaev fight over with.

Ofc. The champ should wait for some challenger's religious bs. Fuck off.

 

[Lycandroid]

didn't this also happen last year ?

then who do you think he should fight? Because there's literally no one left, I hope you don't say reyes

Whoever mans up. Apollo fought Rocky and got humbled.

Pereira offering Ank a title shot during Ramadan is like a girl on her period teasing sex. You know it’s not going to happen.

Timing sucks for Ank but what are you gonna do. Given who is available and the schedule they need Alex for that Vegas PPV and if Ank cant take it due to Ramadan you have to go with someone else.

Gotta be Ulberg then.

Ankalaev only wants to fight on his terms. I'm sick of these Dagestani inbreds.

 

[CC27]

Why should Alex, the champion, have to wait until the challenger is ready?

It also isnt even on Alex its the UFC too, they have a schedule to keep and need fights. Given who is available Alex is the one that can headline Vegas.

Really no other options. BW, LW, and MW already booked, Belal isnt ready yet, Jones/Tom shit is getting figured out, Topuria isnt fighting til April, May. No other real option to headline a big Vegas PPV, its Alex and its March and if you cant go the next guy up will.

Conor McGregor disagrees!

Whoever doesn't need to take 3 months off out of the year to intermittent fast.

This is the most masterful duck I've seen in quite awhile.

Doesn't work that way Ramadan in MMA terms is more like 10- 12 weeks

 

[RockyLockridge]

It would be possible since he could just train in the night and during the weeks leading up to the fight he wouldn't be tired if the fight took place in April. Belal and Khamzat fought during Ramadan and just trained during the night

He could, but he simply doesn't want it bad enough

It doesn't matter really just give it to whomever is highest ranked off a win. Maybe jiri Vs hill winner gets it

 

[Sycho Sid]

Poatan is not the one scheduling fights, you guys know that right? The UFC holds cards, and they need champs to defend on those cards. Bigger cards require more popular champs. So if they have a big card in March, and Poatan is the only one available, he is going to fight.

 

[bng]

whoever is now blaming goatan for ducking MAGA-meds peacefulmuslimaev should get permanently banned if its not some really funny trolling or a solid joke

not to bring this up further but every girl I've with always wanted to do it on the rag. Said it relieved cramps or some shit but that shit is nasty.
call me gay for not wanting it, idc.

 

[Preston broadus]

Good strategy. If ankalaev takes the fight during Ramadan it'll give Alex the advantage...if ankalaev follows Ramadan rules.

To me it's no different than cutting weight or using any legal advantage that's available.

The game is the game.

With that being said, who the fuck is he going to fight? Anthony Smith? Lol
