Ank may be champ for a long time

[pamirec]

And other than him getting injured in the Jan fight, he hasnt really takin a beating this whole time.

There are a bunch of fighters that UFC avoided putting him against, but i can def see him having a good chance to beat them all. People doubt him cos he's not flashy but really.. hes a better striker than alot of these guys.

Yeah and teh UFC did their best to protect Poatan from him it was really obvious. Offered the ts in Ramadan, hoping he’d either reject or accept, but still fast, which would give Poatan extra advantage. For Ank it was clear: either a ts in Ramadan or no ts in 2025 at all.

Nah uber hydrated Abu Dhabi Ankalaev slumps Poatan in the rematch.

Actually the longer rehydration time might benefit Pereira even more as he seems to be the bigger man and cuts more.

Bro is gonna be one of the most boring inactive champs ever, hope you neckbeards are happy.

I could see it. Pereira is very good and has a chance in the rematch, but if Pereira loses the rematch I don't see who beats Ankalaev. He's obviously cleaned out the division minus Jiri, and I just don't see Jiri beating him either.

Yep. A Blachowiz rematch would be good if he beats Ulberg and another top fighter.

 

[Gregoire1]

Ulberg will smash him.

Anthony Smith is coming for that belt.
