Ankalaev talks about heavy sparring with Ngannou

[skylolow]

Not too surprising.

Anyone who has spent time in the wrestling room has seen much smaller men dominate heavier wrestlers.

 

[jeskola]

Why this conartist dont talk about how he refused to accept Pereira on UFC 300 due to "holy ramadan" and then year later accept same fight at same time...and violated rules of "holy ramadan" cuz Pereira was injured. Now he will try to stack defenses against lower ranked people and decline dangerous opponents. Fraaaud chaaamp.

you must be a touch typist to write that through all the tears.

Ank is rematching your boy next, relax.

Frank sucks, he can swing heavy hands. That's it. Never forget his performance against Derrick Lewis. Never forget how stipe embarrassed him

Yes, never forget those fights, but totally forget how much he improved afterwards and definitely forget the fact that he both outboxed and outwrestled Stipe in the rematch.

Clown ass fanbase.

 

[mjoln]

basically held him there until the time was over

...wait... what? Its over when you walk away. That clock is not going to solve damn thing in there if you train with f-tard. If he is not listening you why would he listen alarm clock. Wtf

Heavy hands is enough to be considered great at heavyweight, don't get me wrong. I also think a dude with infinitely better wrestling who walks around over 200lbs could take him down

 

[gosuasus]

You could doubt that Ankalaev succeeded in taking Ngannou down but I don't doubt that Ngannou was nasty against his training partners. He's a one trick pony with one blasting shot and likely seeks those hard KOing blows in training sessions. He's not a "mover" type who could do clean partner drills. Plus he always struck me as shady guy in general.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Jones haters already scrambling to call this fake


Jones beats Tom deal with it

And Francis for that matter

Yeah Jon is obviously the baddest man on the planet, why do we even need to see him fight Ngannou and Aspinall, he would just sub them like Gane in 3 seconds. What a waste of time

 

[Chagaev]

Don't know if it happened but it could, Ngannou with shot knees was taken down and held there by Gane.

[agibmxmma]

imagine believing this

This has been known for awhile now though as others àt EC have mentioned it in the past. Or all one had to do is go down to watch their sparring session days. Never grasped why so called MMA fans don't train at the gyms with top names and build up bonds with those fighters as they regular people and easily accessible if training with them, or don't travel to watch them train, etc.. Every other fan of a sport, does those basic things.

 

[agibmxmma]

Would be a pretty dumb story to make up. If you're making up a story, it would be "dude tried to KO me so I slipped a punch and landed a bomb on him and left him on the ground convulsing and shitting himself", not "he tried to KO me so I took him down".

Why don't they move up and do it ? Noone ever went from LHW to HW championship in the UFC besides Jon Jones. Jones is ducking the interim champ.

You are basing all this of a sparring session followed by MMA math.

That's why also, in the draft kings, when they had made many hypothetical matches for Pereira, he was favourite even vs Aspinall... With Ankalalev being the only fighter favoured to beat him.

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story

 

[StanTheMan]

Big Time Ank. What a fucking bloke.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

this story probably took place before ngannou learned how to wrestle, I could see a LHW taking him down in 2016-17 when he was green in MMA but I doubt ankalaev can take him down right now

 

[RoseHDCovington]

Yeah, Francis improved so much he went on to barely out wrestle Gane the kickboxer.

Noob


DC was a HW from the start and his first 15 fights. He cut down to LHW cause of Cain Velasquez holding the title.

So DC is the example of HW > LHW

Guys forget about weight classes it's about inidivdual effort and glory. You can glaze any weigh divsions balls you ain't in it.
