Media Alex Periera says it’s the UFC that doesn’t want Ankalaev fight

[AldoStillGoat]

Do you believe this? Or is Alex hiding behind the UFC and ducking Ankalaev?

 

[Khaosan]

Ankalaev sucks, Poatan via flying armbar.

 

[Buckland]

I don't think Alex would avoid anyone, but it's not a good quote from him. Just say you're willing to fight anyone.

 

[blaseblase]

I doubt Pereira is the type of guy to pick his fights, but doesn't seem like the UFC has a lot of confidence that he is the best fighter in the world.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

If I’m Alex I would say UFC be damned, I want to fight Ankalaev….

He’s the “he’s holding me back” guy in a fight.

 

[Pechan]

Its pretty obvious, Alex doesn't make the fights.

Alex isn't the ducking type. The people blaming him are either butthurt neckbeards or NCAA fanboys

Those are the only two possibilities? lol

No I dont think Alex is ducking Ank at all.

UFC clearly hates Ank but he doesnt lose so they have to look shitty by constantly finding excuses not to give him a shot.

I’ve always said it’s promotional ducking. They know Ankalaev is a threat to their star. I don’t think Pereira himself gives a fuck, he’ll fight anybody.

Two most likely ones, IMO

 

[Goutfather]

he’s right tho

Yeah but Alex is a superstar, he could easily force the UFC’s hand.

It's not on him to care.

 

[tritestill]

Takes two for this duck to happen, both have to be congruent.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

It's not on him to care.

The fans wanna know the truth. Truth is he’s a paper champ.

How so?

 

[PrideNverDies]

UFC should rematch Ank with Paul Craig or Jan again lol

 

[Jon!]

Yes 100 %.

They gave Ank a title shot it was utter shite.

He knows the UFC is entertainment by now and did nothing entertaining. He's being punished.

It’s undeniable at this point the UFC is protecting Alex
