[SalvadorAllende]

None of that matters.

Get them in the cage together.

 

[Ares Black]

Seems like an unbiased, rational opinion

But only Ankalaev has gone through the toughest challenge in LHW in Paul Craig (and he failed hilariously with one second left)

Seems like an unbiased, rational opinion

Nothing he said was untrue except maybe the stuff about goats which is just unconfirmed

And I guess the magomed ducking Alex stuff is a matter of opinion

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Solid points as always broski mi rate it

Iono weh dem Uncle Ivan fans come from tink dem all di same person ngl neva met one irl

 

[Conan the K-9]

Actually the only grappler at LHW. Unfortunately bearjew moved to MW so Alex can’t fight him and pass the famous dangerous grappler test at LHW.

Kinda irrelevant to my statement

 

[shunyata]

Seems like an unbiased, rational opinion

Here's my unbiased opinion.

Everyone wants Alex to face a legit offensive grappler since it's clearly his biggest weakness.

On paper, Ank could be that guy. Maybe he was that guy once.

But when Ank fights in the last few years I don't see any offensive grappling.

He fights like K1 Maia.

[ThaiSexPills]

If Anklaev was clean shaven and named Joe Smith, not one person would be talking about him. He’s an unimpressive kickboxer who’s made out to be a LHW Khabib because of his beard and name, despite not showing any of it through his entire ufc run. He’s a kickboxer guys.. and a lame one.

The fight needs to happen now.

 

[Streeter]

All Poatan does is KO killers. Ank hadn't even beat one yet. An only fought 1 in Jan. No Rakic is a journeyman.

He offered to Ank twice Ank said no.


Ank wanted a title fight in Abi Dhabi Alex said F off you dont dictate terms n he isn't giving a challenger a home fight. Ank got feeling hurt started talking shit. Alex got pissed about it now wantwxto screw with him .

Alex just needs fight him it's an easy fight

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

@IronGolem007 is one of the more enjoyable topic starters here imo. Bit of an incendiary title, but the overall point tends to be a very reasonable (hot)take, nothing outlandish or just said for yucks.
Also, the color coding and formatting goes a long way for me.

Ankalaev's style bores me. Outside of his Cutelaba stoppages, his wins are barely memorable and he seems pretty pissy/unaccessible personality wise.

Poatan is their franchise player until his incredible run ends. If they can make literally any better fight, I won't mind if Ank misses out again lol.
I know that's not fair but why waste the time he has left on unappealing opponents without much fanfare?

The stats don't matter. If Ankalev wants to grapple fuck GOATs he will

 

[World eater]

Why does it matter? One is a champion, the other the #1 contender. They need to fight no matter who is better on paper.
You can do that kind of “analysis” and prove Alex is better than anyone at LHW.

You ignorant, simpleton

Stats DO MATTER ... that's why people have KEPT AND RECORDED THEM since antiquity.
