Media Din Thomas triples down: "Trade Ankalaev for Dakota"

People talking about how big of a star this girl is is pretty wild to me. No offence to her or anything but I doubt she’s even that well known amongst hardcore fans. I guess if you’re a big WMMA fan you might think she’s a big deal but that’s a small contingent of MMA fans as a whole.

Reality is many fans consider women’s fights to be nothing but a piss break or something similar.

She's already a way bigger star than Ankalaev will ever be.

I get social media following doesn’t always tell the full story but Ankalaev has almost six times the amount of followers on Instagram as this girl. Factoring in that Ankalaev most likely doesn’t put anywhere near the effort into growing his social media following as she does I’d say that isn’t true at all.

Being well thought of on a forum full of simps doesn’t mean she’s a star big dog.
 
Nothing smart ass about it, cupcake. Was as straight a fact as they come. This place is chocked full of never-have experts that have convinced themselves that people like MMA Guru have more relevant takes than people who actually did it, coached it, lived it. So yeah, it's ironic as hell.

And they do that because it validates their own typically worthless input.
So then why are you quoting me in the first place? God forbid someone has an opinion on a forum if crazy @Clark Rogers has an issue. Christ on a cross lol.
 
How the hell did Din Thomas who competed in the UFC less than 10 times get a job and a spot where he can give his dogshit opinions on who the UFC should and shouldn't sign?
Have you missed the intro of "Lookin´ for a fight"?? Its right there...

IF, she makes the jump still in her prime and undefeated, like in the next 1-2 years and remains undefeated in the UFC including getting the belt, those numbers will reverse, easy, she isnt Ronda Rousey, but Rousey has 17 million opposed to Ankalaev´s 1.6 million, Valentina Shevchenko has 2.6 million.
 
Weird how often they trade ideas are thrown around, but UFC barely does it ever.

By MMA standards she is. If she got signed to UFC her followers would double or triple. Din is absolutely right here.

The overwhelming majority of those people following Ank have "Russian Link". They're not paying to keep the lights on at the UFC campus or lining Uncle Dana's pockets. He's got very little appeal to the fan base that actually buys PPV, pays for ESPN or Paramount+, and UFC hotdog branders. From a business stand point it makes so much more sense to get a pretty blond that brutally finishes fights and has a smart mouth signed. From a purest stand point where the spirit of competition and integrity of the sport matters, Ank staying is clearly the move to make.

Give her 3 showcase fights in a year and you'll see the number of followers Ank currently has look even more irrelevant than they already are.

The UFC is moving away from the PPV model, at this point one of their main goals is obviously to appeal to the people with all the oil money, which Ankalaev does. He may not be very well liked on this forum but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t add some value to the promotion.
 
Din Thomas literally brings nothing to the UFC. You could trade him for a bag of chips and come out ahead.
 
I'm on board. Din Thomas was psychic in this one.

Nobody apart from a few russian hillbillies care about Ank anymore.
 
Din Thomas hates anyone who has a family name that ends with a v
But it would be so funny if they trade Big Ank, and Ditcheva end up being beaten by someone like Fiorot or Jazz Da Vicius
