Are you an Ankalaev fan?

[TheTickG]

With the main event tomorrow and its subsequent implications for the LHW division, I was curious to see who considers themselves an Ankalaev fan?

Not "he's on a win streak so he deserves it", but moreso "I'm a fan of this fighter, I like him inside the octagon".

Fan might not be the right word. Depending on who he fights, I might cheer for him though.

 

[DougieJones]

Answer the fuckin question.

 

[HHJ]

Got nothin

GOT NOTHIN

 

[HHJ]

(he also looks like a co-worker I hate)

Must be a good lookin guy

Jealousy isnt a virtue.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Guy has over 50% KO rate and the hate he gets is that “he’s got dry personality”. Sure, and people around here praise Colby for his colorful personality while he can’t finish anyone. I guess Sherdog is a dating site now.

 

[HHJ]

He managed to land an illegal shot again. There's got to be consequences for those DQs masqueraded as NCs. And we got robbed of Johnny vs Jiri.

lol
such crybabies
people kick each other in the nuts every third fight.

Even if they penalized him three fuckin points he still would have won
Even if he never landed an accidental kick to the nuts he would have won.

Johnny robbed you of Johnny vs Jiri by not being good enough to win.

Seriously. These guys brains barely function. Ankalaev is a good study on the blatant inability of biased mma fans to describe what it is they are watching. Casuals,they dont like Ankalaev.

 

[Prologue]

Fantasy.

I think Ank is our only disagreement. Perfect is the enemy of the good I guess.

Edit: Gonna bump this when Ank is putting out press releases about free agent money like Corey Anderson does.

 

[jmboyd24]

I like him as a fighter. Good athlete, very well rounded which is rare at LHW these days. Doesn't really have a weakness.

Not the most charming guy, has a bit of a temper but I don't mind that too much in a fighter. Vettori and Chito are the same way. You could call it passion. I see no evidence he's a bad guy.

Yeah he's neither likeable nor a heel

lol

those Dagestanis got a good thing with the UFC,and unlike someone like Belal,Ank does have a highlight reel that can hype fights. His KO tonight is already all over the UFC media and he was given this headline fight,so I think hes gonna keep doin fights like this,I think they will put him back in the mix.

KO would have been better if Ank knocked Walker into his past life as a fish. That fact that Ank didn't have Walker literally swimming in the octagon is proof Ank is more pillowfished than Jake Shields.

Spoiler: Serious though

Ank is overestimating his value, and he's giving me vibes of someone that's pissed people off in the company. Good win tonight, but I would be surprised if this buys him a TS. If I'm wrong, bump this and I'll campaign for you as Pioser of the Year 2024.

Spoiler

I'd campaign for you anyways

Spoiler

Don't tell Dreyga

lol overestimating his value?

Should he say "i think 3 or 4 more,and then ill get a title shot!"

Dana hearing he needs to give Ank a TS "now!"

 

[HHJ]

Dana hearing he needs to give Ank a TS "now!"

He should ask for one regardless.

 

[Prologue]

He should ask for one regardless.

"TS now!" is the new "50 Gs!"

 

[HHJ]

"TS now!" is the new "50 Gs!"

No

He was already ranked # 3 BEFORE the fight. He won. Thats enough for a title shot.

Same people who ask for a certain matchup because “the build up will be awesome bro!!”

Knocking out cans is fun and all but when he started fighting better competition I'm not seeing many knockouts. Also, he's one of the few who might knock someone out, but still make it boring (another good example is Mir vs Cro Cop). Guy is simply incredibly boring regardless of finish rate.

Yeah, he'll #3 for a while...
