Rumored Magomed 'Big Ank' Ankalaev fought Alex Pereira with a broken rib.

[Prazeres]

By the nature of MMA and it's matchmaking, assessing ability relative to each other often is guess work, there is a lot more variable and luck than some would like to believe for the sake of clean MMA math.
Like think of K1 back in the day, all the top guys fought each other a bunch of times and they would often trade wins.

 

[Koro_11]

Nah, fuck you.
We like Alex, we like Ank.
Khamzat is still the bogyman in all MMA.

Who's "we" bitch?

Fuck Ank and fuck Khamzat, and that entire fanbase. You all hate beauty and root for ugliness, fuck you.

 

[Khaosan]

He could have been in a fully body cast, he still did absolutely nothing.

Fuck Ank and fuck Khamzat, and that entire fanbase. You all hate beauty and root for ugliness, fuck you.

Ank should go back to Combat Sambo, where the competition is easier. No big Brazilian meanies like Poatan or even Paul Craigs to worry about.

Ank looked fine leading up to getting knocked loopy. Moved and threw like normal. And Alex hurt with him a head shot, not a rib shot. So not sure it lasted long enough for it to matter.

Also, are people really surprised if he had a broken rib that the commission would let him fight? We hear broken rib excuses a lot. Shit, Dillashaw fought Sterling with his arm basically falling out. Bisping fought with one eye without them knowing.

Anderson Silva fought the most roided out man in history with a broken rib, had him take him down and smother him for nearly 25 minutes, and still won. Champ shit.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Are his fkin ribs in his head? Cause that's where he took the beating.
I think he's full of sht

nah, only cunt that gets fucked is you.

 

[josh345]

Fuck him and his shitty fanbase, and fuck all you pathetic edgelords who root against beauty and want ugliness to prevail in the world.

Thank you Poatan, I’m so happy right now, good triumphed over evil.

Did good win though? Doesn't Alex practice magic? Lmao. Nah I'm happy as hell that he won honestly. But still lol.

 

[DougieJones]

And here with go with the BS made-up excuses...

 

[Cameron]

Worst part is he will have to build up a run to get another title shot

 

[prime_lobov]

At least he didn’t have a cracked skull

 

[DougieJones]

is that a video from before the fight where he was treated or something? need to login to watch it

or maybe Alex broke his rib with those nasty elbows straight to the ribs.

That's 100% what happened


OR this is the same kind of injury as Anthony Pettis and Umar's "broken hand" (AKA completely fictional)

 

[drphil]

If it's true, do the athletic commissions do anything to clear fighters besides asking if they are good to fight?

These commissions let bisping fight with one eye so...

 

[DougieJones]

Worst part is he will have to build up a run to get another title shot

yeah how terrible... lmao

 

[DougieJones]

Also does anyone else think that pic looks like some AI shit? lol

EDIT: Oh hey would you look at that... the post isn't there anymore LMAO

 

[Rosencrantz]

who the fuck cares, u think miyamoto musashi opponents cared if he had flu or broken tooth night before the duel? man the fuck up, kid

The samurai code dictates that they should come another day, so yes, they cared.

 

[Tatra]

i think alex did that to him.

He hits so hard he breaks ribs before the fight has even begun.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Theres no fucking way he put his belt on the line with a broken rib. He is full of shit here.

Exactly and as we all know no one man has ever lost a fight without being sick or injured. I miss the old days of the guys who just shut the fuck up and took there losses like men.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Fuck him and his shitty fanbase, and fuck all you pathetic edgelords who root against beauty and want ugliness to prevail in the world.

Thank you Poatan, I’m so happy right now, good triumphed over evil.

There is truth in your words wise one
