Chimaev wants to fight Alex Pereira

No thanks.

Alex has few fights left.

Lets get as many bangers as we can out of him.

Lets circle back when he's 40+.
That won't happen now. Alex got Ank still. But it's the ultimate fight...

You ppl forget how close Alex vs Ank was. I see Alex getting it back now.

Alex had said "for me, the fight since I can choose, it's either DDP or JJ. Either of them, Dricus or Jones, for me it is one or the other"



I guess Khamzat Chimaev won and then that's the ultimate fight... Alex Pereira imo beats Ankalaev. So it'd be either Dricus or Jones. But Dricus lost so... Chimaev, who has been calling for Pereira for a long time.
 
Well, is Chimaev vs Ankalaev an easy fight? Because if it's not, then the fight against Pereira isn't easy either... As both Pereira and Ankalaev are on the same level. Ppl forget how close the fight was, to the point it could have been 48-47 Pereira. That's how close it was.




So... Chimaev vs Pereira or Ankalaev is as risky but Pereira likely more so as he's still learning (new to mma, look at his improvements from being defeated by Izzy to beating Jiri 2x, Hill, Rountree and having a very very close fight vs Ank)...
 
You analogy is dumb because Stipe, Arlovski, and Mir are all retired.

Just go back to your pillow and call it a day. Your boy got utterly embarrassed last night and I know you don't want to see the same happen to Poatan, but everything will be ok.

The sun will come out, tomorrow.
You call my analogy "dumb" while exhibiting about 13 IQ points as you fail to understand sarcasm.

This has nothing to do with who I rooted for last night. You're trying to read my mind but probably can't even read books on a middle-school summer reading list.

Khamzat calling out a near 40-year old kickboxer in another division instead of the champ is weak, if not cowardly. Deal with it.
 
Aspunall is much easier for Pereria n more money and a totle on line. Why would he fight a blanket thats counter everything he does in cage when he hadms maybe 3 fights left.


If he beats Ank by KO. Fights Aspinal rhen defends once an retires. Or loses to Ank fights 1 HW fight then Aspinal .


Folks want to see Khamzat hump his leg for 25 min getting a boring 50 43? Now a Khamzat v Bones LHW fight even with him almost washed is interesting as is Khamzat crushes well Bones got got he deserved to hea a POS. He actually wins and noone will ever question who Goat is

More than likely Dricus goes up to LHW so maybe that happens. Alex will never ever fight a human blanket in his prime when hes only got a few more left.
 
Nobody is interested in that squash match, we all know khamzat can literally teabag pereira for 25 minutes and pereira can’t do anything about it

Ank on the other hand is probably the most intriguing fight for khamzat

Alex Pereira himself said if he is the champion again, he'd love to fight Chimaev... So you're wrong.
 
They should make him fight full camp Kamaru - he's the only one that's made Khamzat look mortal.

He'd just hold Alex down forever and molest him - similar to DDP but without the resistance that DDP gave.

PAUSE

I disagree. I think Pereira ices Chimaev... Like, brutally.
 
I don't think Khamzat would accept unless it's for a lot of money. Alex is a monster and is getting better. Again, I think he'd get a late fight TKO in a nasty way...
 
This place is strange. When Chimaev was forced back to middleweight maybe two years ago, and Pereira just had become a huge
name there (and champ), there were actual plans on making this fight and some initial negotiations started.

If I remember correctly, people here were also into it back then for sake of seeing Pereira (a "REAL" MW) showing Chimaev how
there are levels to this, and that Khamzat stands no chance - as he couldn't even finish somebody who had fought at LW previously.

Did Ankalaev take away all the hope people had in Alex? I'm hearing very different tunes in here now.
Pereira has now lost his belt by getting out grappled, the fight doesn't make sense.

If Khamzat wants to move up shouldnt it be against Ankalaev?

Pereira is 38 years old and near the end, let's just have him do some fun ones, you rather see him just get blanketed?
 
Lmao, he wouldn’t even be able to stop a single takedown
He would, he stopped 12 TDs from Ank, who is way bigger while fighting with Norovirus. He's drilling with 250 lbs HW wrestlers. Chimaev wouldn't get a TD actually and would be destroyed. For Pereira, it needs to be JJ.

Ank averages one takedown a fight and got subbed and taken down by Paul Craig, he’s a striker who’s wrestling is stratospheres below Khamzat
