Media Ankalaev is open for a immediate rematch: 'Maybe in a rematch he can fight for real'

[Abljohnson]

Ankalaev talks too much , altrough he made a good fight , he is not proved he is that great, he couldn’t takedown a Kickboxer , and Alex didn’t let his hands go , total aphatetic performance from Poatan if he striked more maybe the decision would go to him, but props to ankalaev

 

[FilipEmoFights]

I mean at least he’s talking shit

 

[MEAN357]

i say let ank defend against someone else, rematch is pointless. let the division shake up a little. make some other match ups. poatan fights the best emerging contender for comeback fight for title shot.

Emerging contender at LHW? lol

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Fight for real - as opposed to pushing up against the fence and exploiting a flaw in the judging of mma fights.

Gotcha

 

[Conan the K-9]

Is he talking about 2026 or 2027?

This shit all over again. At least we get to see the LW belt vacated in two months and hopefully defended after that more often.

What are you crying about now lol? Ank fights twice a year on average.

He fought Alex during Ramadan, not in Abu Dhabi. What's the next cope, that Ankalaev doesn't fight enough?

Weirdly enough more than 50% of this fight was in the open, and even weirder the majority of that time was Ankalaev bringing the agression.

Flaw in judging? Come on man. Alex lost and he lost clearly.
He should be happy Big Ank clinched so much in the 2nd half of the fight, because he was getting fucked up in the standup.

Just stating facts. Wait and find out, how active he will be.

He did push and tried to exchange more. Poatan felt power and speed, and had to backpedal and attack only from distance. Otherwise he would be knocked out, Ankalaev is tougher. Same happened with Rakic once he felt few punches and speed, he went to safe point fighting, and trying not to get knocked out...

How do I reply to multiple messages.

I’m not even a poatan fanboy, Jiri is my boy at light heavyweight. In fact I don’t even want to see the Ank rematch with Poatan. I just said it because so many people were gloating about Ank’s wrestling. You’re right though, he did beat him in parts of the fight with striking. Have fun with a guy who will fight once a year, gonna be Epic with Big Ank as champ amirite : D

Jiri is my boy as well. Denisa bless.

 

[bigfootsbreath]

Yeah.. outlanded him and dropped him. Made Alex tentative.

Once Ankalaev collected enough rounds to win the match he proceeded to take the easy route and get a belt.

BTW.. how is your butt?? too much hurt to sit down or you can handle it?

Dropped in 2nd. You turds know the fight is scored round by round. And 2nd Alex want dropped, buckled perhaps but not dropped.

Got around to rewatching the fight today myself. Ankalaev legitimately looked better on the feet. Way better outside foot battle, constantly stifled Alex's jab/hook with the handfighting, far sharper in the pocket. The entire fight I maybe counted 2 or 3 decent punches from Poatan, and the leg kicks didn't look to have much effect at all.

I'm honestly considering taking big Ank by KO in the rematch. Like from what I saw he's just flat out better.

Ank murking Pereira has really done a number on the Alex nuthuggers

Ank did pretty good dealing with someone straight up refusing to fight. What Pereira did is directly proportional to Syd Barrett getting onstage and staring into space not playing. Fighters should be penalized financially for shit like that.

I thought only dagi hating dumbcunts still believed this nonsense.., what country did he just win the title in?
oh thats right, youre not really a hater are you...? no

 

[MMAJunkie]

Were both of Alex’s hands broken or what? He was fighting CM Punk out there who never hurt a fly and Alex didnt even throw a punch. For a violent aggressive striker like him vs a bum, its fishy. Something was up. Did they pay him millions to throw and and have a guy to promote for the people we know Dana is now in business with?Did they threaten Alex’s family? Like wtf is going on lol.

Go watch Fedor vs Cro Cop. Similar strategy

 

[Frode Falch]

Ank was right when he said that Alex needed to stopping running away from him, Alex was running away from him in the fight as well

1st time he fights a well rounded MMA fighter like Ank and Alex has no idea what to do except just back up

Nobody was "running"

Thats a term nerds with no legit experience used..Ank knows this. Thats why he uses that term. And you all sheeps and parrots eat it up


And... If Alex Pereira had stopped "running", Ank would have gotten a much easy taledown.

So stop it..

I mean.. Im as big of a fan of Alex as anyone.. but dude got dominated, showed nothing inside the cage and was a sore loser in the post fight interview.

Hopefully he comes back full force and we get some good old Poatan violence. But as for now he and his fan should keep it quiet.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

ROFL booing because Alex was losing. Are you high? That's about the dumbest claim I've ever heard.

The crowd booed immediately only the second time he hugged him against the fence. They grew restless the first time and started booing after they stayed there a while, but not right away. It is you who needs to watch the fight again. Your screen name needs to be changed also to verybiasedMMA.


And you think I even give a shit? They were both lame. The fight was stupid and boring. Don't project your emotional attachments onto others. Because you cry over fights doesn't mean others give a shit.

They booed immediately after a clinch, when there wasn't any thing to be bored with. That's clearly a bias. You can't claim it was because it was boring when there wasn't any inactivity. The crowd was clearly rooting for Alex, anyone that watched the entire flight could tell who the crowd was rooting for.

You're just being a butthurt fanboy. Alex got outstruck in three out of five rounds and clearly lost the fight.

OK biased MMA Fan, whatever you say. Keep expressing those biases.
