Ankalaev having a broken rib before the rematch with Alex

[THE PIT VEGAS]

To all those who dismissed Alex being injured going into the first fight with Ankalaev, but right away believed Ankalaev had a broken rib going into the second fight. Please watch Ankalaev warming up with his coach in the locker room, before the fight. He was throwing multiple high kicks. I've had broken ribs many time and throwing high kicks would really hurt and maybe even worsen the injury.

Yeah ankalaev wasn't himself for sure. But right now I don't want a third fight

He got steamrolled its over for him. He will need at least two wins to get a title shot again. The ank era was fun while those 90 seconds of getting beat was happening

I had broken ribs it hurts to breathe and walk. No way he even trued to fight if he had broken ribs going in. Unless he shot himself up to make it all numb.

Bruised ribs is a lot more believable than broken ribs. You really cant do anything with a broken rib.

Saying he has "broken" ribs really hurts the credibility.

Diagnosis: Prefight Shook.

Alex got a little piece of Ank -- then Ank dove to the floor and quit.

Ank wanted no part of Alex that night -- until Alex started Meme-ing him.

The End.

what if you don't believe either of them? i think Pereira came with the wrong gameplan 1st fight and i think he came with the right one the 2nd fight and Ankalaev seemed surprised at Pereira's aggression. so surprised he literally crumpled underneath him into the fetal position then got elbowed brutally multiple times by a giant striker in his ribs after which Ankalaev did not even attempt to defend his alleged broken ribs. it's like watching someone get kicked in the balls 3 times and their only reaction is to block their face. the reactions do not match the explanation.

 

[Khaosan]

No one actually believes him about the ribs… right?

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Need this gif with Alex’s face

This. I can believe bruised ribs but I don't believe for a second they were broken.

 

[Westbrick]

He's already training after Alex hitting his ribs with some of the most brutal elbows ever

 

[HNIC215]

Now Alex has even MORE injuries lol

 

[Frode Falch]

Well thats a valid point. Most active fighters got at least a few injuries going into fights

Both guys are warriors in my books for showing up to fight.

Khamzat would have pulled out.
