Islam says Ank is more skilled than Alex

[SuperNerd]

"more skills" is the comment

and if were splitting hairs, sure. take it Ank.

Ankalaev was never great.

He's not a grappler he's a weird Dagestani striker who is not as good as Alex.

Even in Sambo all he did was strike.

Being from Dagestan doesn't make you a good grappler, it just increases your chances a lot but not for Ank

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

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.

yeah i believe that, because i've seen Khabib scold Khamzat for his behavior being Haram

Bullshit.

All Muslim’s love other muslims and think they are better than everyone else.

That’s indoctrinated into them from birth. Same like hews.

Pretty sad imo.

 

[HHJ]

there will be no rematch, ever.

Sounds like chickenshit talking to me

 

[Captain Insano]

Islam is right.

Ank just ate too much popcorn before the fight and his hands were slippery.

 

[Tweak896]

Probably correct, but I'm cool with Pereira never fighting him again. We wasted so much on the fights, Alex walked away champ, has win over everyone besides Ulberg and I don't care about that fight either. Rather see Alex try his hand at HW and see where he can finish his career. He's already had enough rematches already. Overall Ank, probably has better (striking+wrestling+BJJ) combined, but Alex is a specialist striker that had to speed train his weaknesses and did pretty good so far.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

More skills where? Alex is by far the better striker, he gave Ank his hardest fight and took him to a close decision in their first fight despite his health being compromised. Then he absolutely murderered him in the 2nd fight when healthy. The only place Ank is better than Alex is on the ground but he's shown he can't take Alex down so him being the better grappler doesn't even matter.

And if he wins the trilogy there going to split a beef stroganoff and then the dance club

Remember when @HI SCOTT NEWMAN won the LHW belt?

Bahahahahahahahahhaha can't stop laughing here, thats the greatest GIF ever created, love love love it did you create that? omg its so good. I've saved it for future use

Sounds like chickenshit talking to me

Sounds more like he's got bigger fights ahead of him and no sense to waste em on Ankalaev. He already walked him down and blasted him in 90 seconds, what more is he suppose to do?? He clearly proved he's superior.

 

[OmegaRugal]

5 rounds of pure domination vs a lucky punch

Domination??? Lmao

 

[Last Falconry]

Laying on your back getting obliterated is kind of a skill

 

[Kevster]

Just had an injury, totally believe him.

Ankalaev is slightly better at wall and stalling.

We don't need the third fight, give Alex his HW-fight.

 

[TheBulge]

Nothing but tribalism. It doesn't matter how their fights went they will simply back eachother purely out of tribal nature.

 

[flektarn]

by the scorecards, he won the fight cause he held him against the cage in the 4th round.
He then gets sparked in a minute in the second fight.

I'm sure khabib is completely unbiased with these statements he makes.

 

[THE PIT VEGAS]

Islam also said Ank would easily take Alex down before the first fight. The 3rd fight should be in kickboxing, so Ank can show he's a much more skilled striker.

LIke I said, chickenshit. Otherwise you'd be confident instead of whatever this is

And Khabib was spreading the false conspiracy that Dagestanis, specifically, are being blacklisted by MMA organizations due to their 'dominance,' to make them look like underdogs, even though they are still vastly overrepresented in MMA compared to the actual size of Dagestan.
