Can we all be honest and admit the Dana and friends are doing everything in their power to feed Alex Pereira favorable match ups??

[Dreyga_King of Sherbums]

It’s basically undeniable at this point.

Can we all just admit the truth?

The same people who told us Anklaev didn’t deserve a title shot for beating Johnny Walker are now trying to defend Khalil Rountee getting a title shot even though he was slept by Johnny Walker.

Are these Dagestani fighters that much of a threat that UFC has to protect these fighters and keep them away? There are fighters who Ankalaev beat like Nikita Krylov who are much better than Rountree. Magomed Ankalaev is the best fighter in the 205 division and has been for the past 2-3 years.Alex Pereira is being protected by the ufc because he is light work for the real champion of the division

Honour, valour and pride.

I think Pereira would've been fine with Ankalaev, but UFC rather put that match on the backburner to risk their star. But I wouldn't say it's egregious as bad as Colby title shot. LHW is full of guys who have no chance, coming off a loss, or Alex has beat already. UFC/Ankalaev have been having issues to get him fighting lately as far as timing. When guys like Silva cleared out most of the division and wanted to stay active they threw a few soft ball defenses. The fact Pereira has taken these matchups like he has, means the division will move forward and Ankalaev gets his time off he wanted.

The roundtree matchup does seem crazy but I would need to know why they did that I guess. He did fight the last two champs. Alex is old maybe the UFC is just trying to get him as many fights as quickly as possible. He's barely even taking damage in these fights.

 

[Lepo Lepo]

His first fight at 205 was against Jan who grapplefucked Israel to decision. If anything they threw him to the wolf and since then has beaten the last couple of champions.

Just let it go TS, be free.

That fight was at elevation in SLC. Decks stacked in Poatan’s favor

I made a thread before UFC 300 predicting this match up.

Outside of Ankalaev, Roundtree is the ONLY top fighter coming off of mutliple consecutive wins. (krylov as well, but he's MIA)

Hill, rakic, Jiri, Jan all coming off losses.

 

[Cazador Diurno]

Haha couldnt be more obvious i mean making ankalaev fighr rakic and giving khalil the TS what a joke. Dont get me wrong Khalil COULD win and KO alex ;hes a solid stand up fighter but come on... Ill still watch tho.

lol keep coping Sherbro, Alex known as some cardio juggernaut now

Izzy has a mountain to climb if he wants back in on the GOAT talks

 

[Fact Checker]

What are you babbling about meatrider?


Why don’t you say anything about Izzy getting gifted yet another title shot even though he’s 1-2 in his last three fights and recently got completely emasculated?


I think the Khalil match up is a disgrace, but Izzy getting gifted yet another title shot is flat out laughable. Bro literally rage quit the sport when Strickland cooked him lol.

I did. Moron. Way back when it happened

I didn’t even bring up Izzy. Why are you?

I've been saying this forever and what sucks is that it's making me hate Alex too... In addition to hating Dana.
You can dress in your tribal costumes and act all day long like you're this warrior, but you're DUCKING the rightful contender and you know it.


Dana saved the UFC and made it into something really special.... But he is also now the person who is destroying it.
