Pereira blocking 13 out of 13 takedowns and taking Ank down is impressive.But Ank did not follow Ramadan so he might have been spiritually compromised

[cristoninoMartin]

This might sound like an excuse, but it's very important to follow Ramadan in islam. Ankalaev did not follow Ramadan for this fight, so he was spiritually compromised and likely had guilt on his conscience

Dana should strip him of the title since he didn’t follow Ramadan

 

[Skarsgard]

It's been a while since I've seen a truly ban worthy whitebelt thread.

 

[Fedorgasm]

How bad is it to not follow Ramadan?

Would it be just like a Christian fighting on a Sunday?

 

[RoseHDCovington]

Ramadan > Chamadan

"Spiritually compromised"

Fucking lol.

 

[HHJ]

I agree

he def woulda stopped Poatan on the ground if it wasnt for this.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Awful fight

Ank didn’t follow Ramadan protocol so no excuses there

Just awful to watch … Ank deserved his shot and probably edged it - but didn’t win anyone over with that - he needed a ko or exciting fight to win fans

Alex probably has more positives from proving TDD than ank does coming off winning a shit fight like that

Give Alex vs Tom since jones won’t accept

Give ank vs ulberg or jiri

Religion needs to be banned - all major religions are the source of everything fucked up in the world.

Ank did what he had to do to win.

Ah, of course, Most Exalted Chairman Mao. In our utopian workers' paradise, there is no room for such bourgeois distractions as spirituality and religion. Now, Comrade, just to confirm—was it the heroic liberation of 12 cities from the chains of existence that you requested? I am sure those 40 million plebs were happy to sacrifice for the greater good of the commune.

 

[rightfight777]

Very impressive with Alex takedown defense but on offense he needs to mover more.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

He was just spamming them like Merab so he could grind him on the fence without tiring himself out, if he wanted he could takedown Poatan any second

 

[Brigfa2]

Ankalaev's wrestling is overrated and striking is underrated, i've been saying this since the beginning

 

[TR1]

Wasn't Alex a Muslim too at some point?

Ankalaev isn't a super preachy muslim either IDK why people bring religion up non stop. Fasting is widespread in many cultures.

What takes the most enerygy is trying to him down but you are saying he can take him down any second so you make no fucking sense.
I guess Islam is an idiot for taking down his opponents
It's like saying ''he can KO him at anytime but he is not throwing high kick so he is just advancing''

He was winning the fight and only needed to stall Pereira, there was no point in expending too much energy in a takedown when he didnt need it, but it doesnt mean he cant take him down if he really wanted to.

This shit is just peak sherdog lol
