Ribs were the siza of a balloon

He shoulda just ko'ed alex or fixed his ribs.

If Ankalaev fought with broken ribs that significantly impeded performance, that would just mean that Ankalaev is profoundly stupid. In the best case scenario broken ribs that bad will make breathing properly in a fight extremely painful if not impossible; in the worst case scenario they mean a punctured lung on a roundhouse to the body.

I was thinking the very same. A few years ago, a painter on the jobsite, slipped off his ladder, landed on a paint bucket, he seemed fine, finished the day off, next day a hr or so into work, rib completely broke from carrying a un opened 5gl of paint.

I can only imagine going into fight with one, let alone arguably the tip of pyramid striker across MMA. If true, Ankalaev is pretty lucky the fight ending quick.

Hmm, is that what those 3 black lines are indicating? Are those some sort of broken rib marks I've never seen?

Seems like this guy robbed us of a good fight if this is true, like Alex did in their first.

We need to see a rematch with them both at 100%, or close

No we don’t

I actually do not believe this at all, I think they are blatantly lying. If he has broken ribs it was Alex who caused them during the fight. Ali is the biggest clown in MMA and I am glad he is getting shit all over on social media, and that it clearly bothers him

I would never have guessed if he lost we wouldn't hear an excuse less then 24 hours later. That's not Russian at all

No we don’t

Probably wouldn't work anyway with Alex's age, oh well

Sounds Brazilian, he should apply at Noguiera tire shop.

 

[ocfightfan]

Totally but that isn't even the crazy part. He was killed in a car wreck on his way to the arena. Fortunately they revived him, but it took a toll on his performance.

 

[World eater]

With or without broken ribs he was losing. Alex was on demon time that night and was going to make short work of him regardless.

Do not call the Archangel Chamael a demon.

Do not call the Archangel Chamael a demon.

IDK Jiri might agree with that

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i guess if we're going to believe Alex had norovirus and a left hand like a balloon we should believe the owl had an ouchie boo boo too. at the end of the day both of you lost those fights though.

 

[Xoleth]

Alex had a broken wrist
Ank had a broken Rib
Izzy was injured vs Sean, lol
Conor's foot was a balloon
Tito had a cracked skull
Colby ate raw chicken

My back
Staph
Torn ACL
Cold, fever
AIDS

What's next?
Lupus?

Excuses, excuses

And if you ask them before, they are in great shape and they had the greatest camp ever, they've never been more motivated.

 

[welcometohavoc]

What a coincidence!

Maybe Alex's elbows caused past trauma!

Broken ribs are no fucking joke. You feel like you're almost dying. That said, if he took the fight with an injury of this level, it's on him and his team. It's the most important fight of his career to this point. He should have pulled out.

I don’t know about short work, but that Pereira was on a mission, almost like he just found his girlfriend was married and caught the spouse Ankalaev giving her some Great Penis Owl of Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia, EARTH.

 

[fjodor]

He fought with his pea-sized brain too.
