Media Alex Pereira threatens to ‘make it a little bit harder’ for Magomed Ankalaev to fight him after ‘disrespectful’ comments

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Interesting!

But if Ankalaev wins next weekend, I don't see how the UFC or Perreira can stall that fight.

It’s another Belal situation, if they Magomed wins with ease he’s next, what are they gonna do give Jiri or Hill another shot give Ulberg a shot

“I don’t have nobody in my mind,” he said. “The organization came with Khalil [Rountree] last time, and it was a surprise for me too. I don’t really choose opponents.”

“Some people say Ankalaev, but I’m going to be honest with you,” Pereira continued. “Him and his manager have been talking a lot of crap, saying that I don’t want to fight, this and that. The reality is the organization don’t want him to fight because he’s boring. People don’t like to watch him fight. He’s not a guy that sells pay-per-views... It’s not up to me, it’s the organization. The organization don’t want to make the fight.”

“But now? Because they keep saying that disrespecting, maybe I’ll make it a little bit even harder for them to fight me.”

“Poatan” insists he wasn’t the one refusing to fight Ankalaev, but he may now after all the disrespect from the Russian fighter and his manager.

Screw that pointy nose cartoon looking hot tuber, I hope he gets beat this weekend. He's boring imo.

Never bought into the Pereira is ducking Ankalaev claims but man this makes me think otherwise. If you feel disrespected by a fighter you fight him and knock him out. This I will try to avoid you cause you hurt my feelings is weak sauce!

Nah, i would do the same, it’s the biggest fu you can give someone. To just fight everyone else instead and let them rot without any opportunity of a title.

He didn't say he wouldn't fight him, he'd said he would might make it more difficult if he kept talking shit about him. Alex is a warrior and has proven this many times. He isn't afraid of anyone.

He also expressed he wanted to fight Jon Jones before. Jones > Ankalaev.

Also, I'm not your brother.

And yes, his team is probably stupid.

so brother
again you acknowledge the fact that ank and his team are idiots
because they refuse a lifechanging purse fighting poatan?
the ultimate goal in their career win or lose?

instead they trade their big payday and the title
fighting a nobody high risk low reward?

also isnt that obvious he expressed that he would fight jones than ankalaev?

theres someone trying to prevent ank from fighting poatan

dude if jones said he would rather fight fighter x than fighter z
you weirdos would say duck already

he already expressed that he would rather fight anyone not name ankalaev
thats a REAL DUCK IMO

Apparently, they felt they needed to clarify that they were not your brother even though people just use it casually lmao

 

[Ramon Antonio]

I'm not your brother, pal

I’m not your pal, buddy!

I’m not your pal, buddy!

Go figure, fighters don't actually decide who they fight for a multi-billion dollar organization.

 

[chardog]

Pereira bless

 

[Nobru]

its all money

he will fight Magomed in his mistery land if the paycheck is right and a HW belt is next

 

[Alpha_T83]

Pretty easy for Pereira to do so. Ankalaev hasn't fought* during Ramadan or in the months following Ramadan since 2017. Pereira just has to schedule his next fight in March/April and Ankalaev won't be able to fight him.

It’s another Belal situation, if they Magomed wins with ease he’s next, what are they gonna do give Jiri or Hill another shot give Ulberg a shot

Only thing that they can do is offer the fight to Ankalaev in March or early April during Ramadan and he will say no, they can give it to Ulberg.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Ank KO'd his last two opponents, they aren't keeping him away from the title because he is boring. They are keeping him away because they want to protect their cash cow.

His last two opponents were walker and Jan. He didn't KO jan

It's a bit more interesting than that. Ulberg is fighting ozdemir this upcoming November.... Title shot could go to either but I think volkan can't fight in the states. So if ulberg wins it'll go to him. If volkan is wins it's a maybe, if the fight is in Brazil or something.

Then there is the winner of krylov Vs murzakonov winner of that I could see getting a title fight should ulberg lose and the fight be in vegas

 

[RockyLockridge]

If you 'never bought into' it, you're wilfully ignorant.

It has been clear the whole time.

Only one to turn down the fight is ankalaev

And I think he will beat Oezdemir. He's be on a pretty good 7 fight win streak. Krylov doesn't have a long streak, but it's solid with good names, Gustaffson, Spann, Oezdemir.
