Anyone actually rooting for Ankalaev?

[Koro_11]

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.

Yeah those dudes are losers too.

It's understandable in certain cases, like Conor McGregor was a shitstain and a lowlife so understandably many were just rooting for him to lose.

But in Poatan's case you have a guy that's great for his division and the sport in every way imaginable and also happens to be an overall good guy who personifies everything any young man could aspire to be.

To root against that one has to be a special kind of incel.

 

[Rataria]

Yes.

Hes one cool ass Dune- billy. Hes got the best hair of all the Dagestani, just wish he got a proper buzzcut

 

[PeterGriffin]

I want to root for him because Alex ducked him and it would be a lesson to those Poatan fans who dismissed Ankalaev as a contender.

But the youth with cancer video makes it hard to root against Alex.

If Ankalaev doesn't shoot and use his wrestling in the first round, I hope he gets KOed in the second round for wasting our time.

Except he didn't duck him.

 

[Natural Order]

Would be fun to see Ank destroy him and really shift the talk in the landscape.....could happen, highly doubt it. His best way to victory is clearly the takedowns and possible sub.

Ankalaev strikes me as having poor fight IQ though and has fallen in love with his hands. I could see him trying to prove a point to himself standing and getting slept as a result.

Interesting fight, best we could have at LHW right now.

 

[Kevster]

Nah, want to see where the goal posts land if Ank loses, remember Jan was supposed to take Pereira down and pound him out with ease.

It’ll be far more entertaining on here if Pereira wins, half of Sherdog has been predicting his demise ever since he moved up, some before he even fought in the UFC.

He’s been making the hardcore hipster mob look silly for a while now.

 

[Kevster]

Except he didn't duck him.

That he didn’t, here’s Ank on camera apparently wanting the UFC 300 fight, only to turn it down, last question asked.




Don’t even dislike Ank, its the truck loads of him being ducked bullshit by folks on here that gets me.

Anakalaev signed to fight Rakic before Pereira signed to fight Rountree. Blaming Alex for that makes no sense. He doesn't make the fights, the UFC does... and Alex is signed to fight the big scary monster everyone thinks he ducked, or would destroy him in a few weeks.

Even trying to paint Alex as a duck is no more than a stupid notion.

Yeah but im not rooting AGAINST Poatan. I like him alot.

I just also like other guys in the div like Jiri and Ank. Would be sick for them to get glory too. In the end though, may the best man win.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Na son

Ank is boring and Poatan is a goat

 

[Snake989]

Nah fam idk wut yuh heard but mi got Poatan him an' Jamahill got unfinished business bro need fi keep di strap warm for like 2-4 years while him get rdy

Never forget Poatan beat our boy Simon Marcus for the glory middleweight title twice. Marcus is a Jamaican born Toronto raised fighter, one of the best combat sports athlete to come out of Ontario. So I'm not rooting for Ank but a part of me always wants Poatan to lose

 

[Skarsgard]

That girl's got thicker legs than Jones, lmfao.

My four-year-old has thicker legs than Jones. Dude is built like a fatter Tito.

I have nothing against Poatan, i want him to lose for the same reason half this website wants Islam Makhachev to lose (Islam also is an excellent champ and an exciting fighter). Funny how people like you never see you call the other side out.

Fuck Toronto (and I live in the GTA).

I don't have anything against Makhachev, I have rooted for and against him, depending on who his opponent was at the time, so it's not "people like me".

 

[El Panteron]

Idiots like you are always the first to mention religion. People can root for whoever they want, that’s why dumbasses like Colby and Strickland have fan bases, go cry about it homie.

I do hear you brother.
But.
Are Colby and Strickland fans respected here?
Do you really want sherbros to see you like a Colby fan?

 

[Trabaho]

Not providing a single real moment of excitement in any of his fights; that's an unforgivable sin for any MMA fan, unless they make up for that flaw by adopting a loud and obnoxious right-wing persona.

it´s not a sport it´s a WWE compeittion

Dude I was on this website when Colby had a million booty clappers, Kamaru Usman was one of the most dissed and hated champs on sherdog, saying Colby wasn’t popular here is revisionism.

 

[Bork Neslar]

I like Pereira. His fanwhores are annyoing, though.

 

[moreorless87]

Honestly I'm almost totally neutral on Ank which I'd guess is the problem, he doesn't engender strong feelings one way or the other.

Yes Usman was hated. Yes we both know why.
But Colby was mostly hated and ridiculed too. I was here as well.
