Anyone actually rooting for Ankalaev?

[Only Here for Attachments]

how do you know he'll be inactive? He's just inactive recently because he was waiting for his title shot but alex stepped in on short notice to fight Jiri which delayed it after the hill fight and then he got offered rakic. He fought volkan, santos, smith, and Jan in a 14 month span so that's 4 fights in 14 months, doesn't seem like an inactive fighter

90% of fighters become inactive after getting the belt.

Can you imagine lol? Entire website will be on Xanax for a month. I really hope that happens, especially after all the retard takes on the Merab-Umar outcome.

Wow, you must have a really happy life, just holding your breath for other people to be upset about something.

Also, WTF does Merab/Umar have to do with Alex/Ankalaev??

 

[Koro_11]

hes a muslim.. all the thinly veiled jokes thusfar all have the same underlying theme..
But no , they will tell you he is boring.

I’m sure that’s how it played out in your insecure head but I don’t think anyone mentioned it until you did.

 

[Koro_11]

On a related note, you guys gotta admit it was fun watching Belal & Merab dethrone their more marketable opponents of their titles in grueling ugly fashion.

Perhaps more marketable but not more likeable, Merab is an easy guy to root for and even though whats his name is not very popular, Leon is a boring twat and no one wanted to see him hold that belt long.

 

[Koro_11]

I kinda am.

I like Poatan dont get me wrong, but this is like a similar situation with Belal. No one thinks he should have the fight or deserves it, even if no one's really ever beaten him since the one loss.

People's arguments against Ank are shitty and its all hater talk, and so I'd like to see them all get pissed off.

He's an underdog and i'd like to see him do it. For sure itll be super hard to get another crack at it if he dont make it happen here/

Why am I not surprised, the guy who doubles down on WMMA, even though everyone else hates it, of course you’re gonna be Mr. contrarian here too.

Same guys always backing the neckbeards. They love it when entertaining western fighters lose

 

[VinceArch]

no he left cuz he knew he was cooked agfainsst real elite. Striking Dagastanis are fightnbight heros. Not elite.Thats why Islam so good. best of best dagastani strike but prime sambo

Uhh... well the important thing is you tried.

Poatan either becomes a mythical super soldier or an amazing fighter who had a good run after this next fight. If he beats Ankalaev, he enters a new level that may of been exaggerated before but impossible to ignore if he KO's this dude. Alex is old, fights too much, has taken damage and has no reason to give 150% in the ring anymore and Ankalaev has been passed over for like 5 years now. Crazy fight. I can't believe people are not excited for this.

edit: Ankalaev would have so many more fans if he adopted the the nickname "The Owl". It works because he has really good vision and he fucking looks like an owl. (Somebody on reddit mentioned this and I can't not see it when I look at him. lol)

you think ankalaev should have got a title shot with wins over cutelaba???

Yes.

Was Leon more marketable than Belal.

At least Belal as the Muslim fanbase behind him

 

[dildos]

Yes.

I'm good. You were making claims that Zabit fought no one which is completely untrue and I proved you wrong immediately after, that's all this was.

Leon was the only British *undisputed* champion at the time, that's worth more than whatever value Belal brings to the table especially since Islam already has the Muslim fanbase angle covered for the UFC.

i said he wasnt elite like he claimed lol. He fought a copuple of decent fighters.

Fight the good fight.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I would not only love for Poatan to keep murdering opponents, I'd love for Ankalaev to be humbled. I hope it is dramatic, like Poatan/Hill

 

[McSpikes]

Fight the good fight.

he was still over arrogant ass and needed sambo

don’t play dumb, half of sports fandom is about rooting for entire fan bases to get their hearts broken. Everyone I know wanted New England fans to suffer during Tom Brady’s reign of terror.
