Ank will be Koed stiff and blame Ramadan

[Preston broadus]

If he follows Islamic protocol he's fucked. He might not even make it to the fight. Cut weight, weigh in, and don't hydrate afterwards. He might not even be alive past the afternoon.

 

[CasualBot]

Yes. Everyone gets ko'd by Alex and has some stupid reason why.

 

[Söze Aldo]

Some blame Ramadan, some blame black magic. Alex's heard it all.

It is so utterly OBVIOUS that 90+% of SD, are ignorant.

There is quite literally

NOTHING that says Muslims HAVE to fast, etc, during the specific days allotted to Ramadan in any given year.

They CAN SUBSTITUTE ANY days on the calendar to fulfill their religious commitments.

Btw.. If they CAN’T fast any time during the year.

They can make a CASH donation to their mosque, etc.

I don’t understand how adults can be so ignorant of common sense things.

You all should be embarrassed. Scratch that.. Your parents need to be embarrassed for raising an idiot.

Hold your horses brother because there are various schools of thought concerning Ramadan rules.

In general you can’t just choose to skip fasting during Ramadan. You can’t just choose any time of year to fast; I mean, you can, but that would be a different kind of fasting. Further, you have to have a medical condition or situation that makes fasting too much of a burden (old age; pregnant). There are other conditions too, having to do with paying a donation, etc, but I don’t want to get into all that here.

You’re on the right track but a little off.

I’ve looked into this, being a Muslim (not very devout). And from what I’ve read it’s probably haram to skip Ramadan to beat the shit out of someone for money.

 

[xhaydenx]

Not a valid excuse at all.

He chooses to be a muslim and chooses to Ramadan. Being a muslim isn't mandatory and has nothing to do with fighting.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Working healthcare Ramadan is fucking retarded up north.
Your best workers stop eating turning into zombies instead.
And the rest have to back them up.
Fuck Ramadan! (perfectly okej doing stuff not fucking with the workplace though).
We probably should fast for a bit.

We run with narratives, that's what we do

Look I don’t like Ank even a little bit. But it’s wild the amount of people thinking this fight is a forgone conclusion.
Pereira is going to be 38 this year…let that sink in. After a career and then some of combat sports mileage. The amount of people writing Ank off better be very confident in their bets. Because this has the smell of upset all over it..

And I’m rooting for Poatan

The closer it gets the more I think inspired Ramadan Ank is going to not only win but do so in shockingly dominant fashion, and I'm not kidding. He's going to win all aspects of the fight, even striking.

 

[Skarsgard]

Win or lose, he's going to blame Ramadan. Even if he wins with a record breaking KO or flying gogoplata, he's going to talk about how he would have been even better without Ramadan.

 

[orca]

I respect him for doing it, and I am no fan. Can't help but feel it's a case of the UFC protecting an asset

hes getting paid alot of money win or lose
lifechanging money hel be alright

 

[DoubleTrouble]

After Pereira struggled with Rountree, I'm thinking there's a good chance he get's KO'd stiff.

 

[Strijfy]

He'll be KOd then blame ramadan, bad weight cut, staph, not enough time to rehydrate, too short of a camp etc the usual

Meanwhile the sherdog bathtub boys will be in full meltdown mode

It's going to be glorious

and yet here you are , other side of the musl...er...dagi spectrum , already melting down with your bathtub dumb shit. The irony is lost you on...so too the hypocracy

That dude is a clueless idiot lol.

Fasting has been decreed (Surah Baqarah v.184) and the month of Ramadan was specified in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah.

Missing fasts on purpose is from the major sins.

And he most likely wouldn’t be wrong. I think we can all agree that fasting all day isn’t going to be beneficial for him.

 

[Lee Danger]

Who is or what is an Ank? I really need to catch up with modern mma. Or not

The ankh is at the center of this image.

Neither is cutting a ton of weight. He makes choices and will have to deal with the consequences.

Just because people do it, does not make it right. They are neither fulfilling their work obligations nor meeting the requirements of fasting. In their mind, they are ticking the box, but all they are doing is wasting their time. When you are fasting, you need to be in shape to be able to function normally and carry out your commitments. Blood sugar levels need to be stable and that greatly determines how much energy reserves you are going to have, once you have burned off all calories from eating when the fasting started early morning. People who are obese or have health issues, typically have huge issues with energy sustainability throughout the day. Otherwise, Allah is not interested as it says in Quran 'your endeavor to remain hungry and thirsty'. I know people in middle eastern countries sleep all day and do nothing with fasting. They are thinking they are fulfilling the duty of fasting, but it is all about mind over matter and that is what fasting is supposed to teach you (other than learning to empathize with people who don't have enough to eat).

You need to be in proper shape to fulfill your obligations especially in Northern areas where the fasting during the summers could be extremely long. It is all in your mindset. If you cannot fast due to health reasons or you cannot function properly (I know several people who cannot fast because they feel they cannot do all of the work necessary), they need to pay charity for every missed fasting day.

I will give you my example. I work in a very fast pace, high stress and high pressure industry and lead a team as a Technical Team Lead. In the last few years, fasting was up to 17 - 18 hour days here in Calgary, Alberta. I was not only handling and leading big, complex projects, I was also fasting during Ramadan every day. My pace and intensity hardly took a hit because of my mindset. To be honest, I did not really start slowing down until after hour 15 and in the last 2 - 4 hours, it would get difficult. However, as F'ed up as it sounds, I watched Food TV network in the evenings just a couple of hours before breaking my fast. It was something I really enjoyed.

How the fuck are we blaming ramadan when on the latest episode of embedded the guy is eating grilled steak with salad at ali abdelasleez's house.

I think the theory is he’s going to weigh in in the morning but won’t be able to rehydrate until later on in the day which is atypical.

Fair enough. Didn't realise.
