Rumored Periera vs Ankalaev at UFC 310 not happening

[AldoStillGoat]

Alex Pereira vs Magomed Ankalaev is NOT being discussed by the UFC as an option to headline #UFC310

But another random tweet said it was! Who do I believe?!

They don't want none of Ank smoke

MMA Fighting says it's being discussed. Then MMA Fighting says it isn't being discussed one day later.

In both instances, irrational posts take place after both announcements. Suredawg in a nutshell.

Merab vs Umar would be a good alternative, but Merab is not man enough for that i'm afraid

Ank isn't taking a fight on short notice? Huge surprise.

It’s MMAFighting reporting not a random

Poatan: Call me and I'll pick up.

Ankalaev: I'll be ready if they need me.

UFC: Nah. Book Valentina vs Jennifer Maia 2 instead.

Dude just came off a war with Khalil that would be a retarded turn around tbh

 

[NextGen]

Meh. I’d rather see them both at full strength. So I’m OK with this.

Really? Did you watch his fight with Rakic? Poatan knocks him out within 2 rounds.

UFC should book the fight then. I'd watch.

He was forced to keep it standing by Dana because Dana said he wants an exciting fight or else he wouldn’t get a title shot.

I bet he mauls Alex on the ground.

Ank isn't taking a fight on short notice? Huge surprise.

Except he already said he would take the fight on December if it got offered.

Ankalaev: I'll be ready if they need me.

We never know the official interest until everything is signed. Judging by the way Alex implied he's waiting on a call and Mag saying he's all in, it's not an unfair assumption to think that if it doesn't get done, it's on the UFC

Except Alex isn't a "cash cow" or really that famous at all. You're just projecting your own insecurities as usual because he ruined Izzy

It's just not worth it for Pereira to put it all on the line when he's clearly recovering from injuries and an insane amount of activity.

Like he is under absolutely zero obligation to do this. Let the guy recover and get a full camp for a tough stylistic matchup.
