Alex Pereira Responds to Ankalaev, Addresses Past Battles with Alcoholism

[Hymen Crusher]

Ank is selling the fight. It's working. More excited for this fight then I have been for a fight in a while.

 

[Chagaev]

yea they kinda have no idea how hard it is to overcome alcohol addiction(being haram in the first place) but most of these guys are fake humble so no surprise

It's hard, but it's a choice to drink and you're making that choice repeatedly until you become an alcoholic.

It's something you do to yourself and nobody should walk on eggshells about it. Taking responsibility is important for long term recovery.

Imagine if Alex said Ank was only breaking his Ramadan fast because he loves bacon too much. That would be very classless and mean. But Alex is a champion in life.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Imagine accidentally bumping into a drunk Alex in a bar back then.

Drunk Alex with lowered inhibitions?



Chama.

I think we can all learn a thing or two from Alex. How we can all make changes and renew our lives

Ankalaev is coming off like an ass. On top of that I don't think Alex can be psychologically harmed with trash talk. Fight is 50/50 but i don't know why Magomedov needs to run his mouth. He has a title fight. Now it's harder to root for him

Alex will murder this clown and it wont be nearly aa close as some think. Just another fight

Ankalaev is an awful human being

He would fit in well on these forums.

Almost at a year of sobriety right now.

Can't guarantee I won't drink again as I love booze, but it feels good to detox for a bit.

Kudos to Poatan for staying strong willed.

Congrats, man. Not easy.

If Alex really has a problem with alcohol, that's awesome he overcame it, but it seems like he's putting himself in positions to relapse and go the Conor route of staying fucked up 24/7.

He would fit in well on these forums.

Ankalaev should be ashamed of himself for saying that about someone who suffers from alcoholism, it’s just in very poor taste
