People sh*****g on Ankalaev for only wanting to fight for THE TITLE in Abu Dhabi...

[PhilMcCavity]

The bird like structure of Ankalaev makes him very hard to cheer for. He’s some sort of owl/human chimera and I don’t like it.

He wants to fight Pereira only in Abu Dhabi not because he is afraid of him, but because that's where he is the most famous and where he can draw the most. He has fought a lot outside of Abu Dhabi, but this is a special occasion, on a PPV, for the title itself, so of course you want to fight where you are the most famous on such occasion.

Pereira is famous and can draw EVERYWHERE all over the globe, so he should have no problem fighting in Abu Dhabi if he was as brave as his fans claim. Nobody knows Ankalaev in USA or Brazil, so why should they fight there?

Fuck off. This fight should 100% not happen in Abu Dhabi. Pereira is the champion, Ank needs fight in Brazil or New York where he won't be able to roid to the gills and not make weight without consequences.

No home advantage for Ank.

How is the weather on Ank’s nuts?

Yeah, the thing is he is not the belt holder so him making these stipulations as a challenger comes off as extremely cocky and entitled.

Inbreds gonna Inbred

 

[Captain Insano]

Yea. No.

He should fight Alex in Brazil.

An owl-human mutant that likes to keep it on the ground is indeed some shady organism

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Another Islam. Great

 

[Neck&Neck]

Fuck fights in Abu Dhabi in general
And fuck this thread specifically

 

[CieloLuce]

Starting out spicy ts. Keep it up.

Such a desperate, thirsty goat herder
Get lost

Too bad.
If he wants that he can win the belt, then he can call the shots.

He wants to fight there because they're corrupt as f### and likely to help him win.
But you already knew that Mr disingenuous.

Challengers don't get to choose. Go to brasil. I am for it being in brasil. Wtf the challenger getting the home advantage ?

Muslim = Abud Dhabi advantage. If it's not clear to everyone.

 

[Steve Fox]

Your logic sucks. Adding to it, he is fighting Rakic in Abu Dhabi but also If Pereira draws, this Ankalaev person you speak of should be willing to fight for the title anywhere but no, he wants to be a Diva and have the home turf advantage like many explained already.

Can you tell me where in the world there might be some actual evidence of Ank demanding he fight for the title in Abu Dhabi? Seems like another myth that is taken as fact on Sherdog. I have never seen anything on this aside form threads stating it as FACT.

He is fighting Rakic now in Noweight Dhabi, wants to fight Pereira there too... A bit too much and obvious maybe?

 

[Alpha_T83]

Yea. No.

He should fight Alex in Brazil.

Agreed. If Alex fights him next year, he should demand the event be in Brazil.

 

[Jluvera1383]

The challenger doesn't get to dictate the location and force everyone else to hold up the title for 8-12 months.

Yes and he did not in this case. AP dodged the fight in Abu Dabi. What are you talking about 8-12 months hold up? This PPV would have been 3 weeks after the SLC one? The UFC could of flipped Max/Ilia main event with Ankalaev/AP, but there was reason they did not (maybe Ilia did not want it in SLC or AP did not want in Muslim country) They are going to fight if Ankalaev does what he has to do vs. Rakic. So it all does not matter at the end.
