Islam says Ank is more skilled than Alex

[ShaggyDoyle]

Funny enough, Strickland has also praised Ank as being a very good and skillful fighter.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

He's on a weight cut and not thinking clearly.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Skill doesn’t really matter when you get punched in the face

 

[Bork Neslar]

Of course he'd say that. They're all the same.

 

[bng]

who cares
John Cena clears 2 frauds at the same time on the same night

 

[LEWIS540]

Which is the young Ank? They all look the same to me.

Pretty one on the right?

 

[Söze Aldo]

There's always room in the jacuzzi.

 

[Luthien]

Remember when @HI SCOTT NEWMAN won the LHW belt?

 

[HHJ]

Well of course he gonna speak the truth

 

[YEET]

I don’t anyone is interested in a 3rd fight but I can be wrong.

I do think there is some truth that a fighter can have better over skillset but still lose. Merab is a great example where strategy/natural ability wins versus guys who have better standup than him.

 

[Spath]

There’s plenty of guys more skilled than someone that they still get their asses kicked. It’s not about skill, it’s a lot of things. Pereira is clearly the better fighter and this isn’t a skill competition.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

a Dagestani picking another Dagestani over a non-Dagestani? you don't say?

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

I mean he's probably more well rounded, but natural power and speed in isolataion don't necessarily get considered as a "skill" but it sure can be the difference in a fight.

5 rounds of pure domination vs a lucky punch

 

[Streeter]

5 rounds of pure domination vs a lucky punch

 

[dildos]

wow. surely it was shown in the rematch how skilled ank was.

he got his retarded face broken in.

 

[HNIC215]

They do need a trilogy

 

[JKS]

That's great! Thank you Mak for your perspective. But Alex still crushed him in like 90 seconds and there will be no rematch, ever.

 

[Söze Aldo]

a Dagestani picking another Dagestani over a non-Dagestani? you don't say?

Very tribal people and I mean that in the literal sense. I don't think the Dagis even like Chimaev despite the shared religion and being neighbors because he's a Chechen himself.

5 rounds of pure domination vs a lucky punch

You have to mentally unstable to think that was any kind of domination in a fight that was 48-47 with the deciding round being very close. And that was no lucky punch, Alex just marched forward kicked his legs and then blasted him with a well placed shot and finished him off. Now that is domination.

Alex is just better.
