Media Poatan comes out against Wall and Stall

[JustOnce]

Funny thing is, Alex did less.

Man, some people are good at being good winners but not good at being good losers.

I like Poatan a lot, but this isn't way to behave after that performance.

he earned the ability to do nothing for 5 of the 25 minutes in the cage because he spent the other 20/25 minutes backing you up, landing dozens of punches and dropping you lol

Ankalaev was outstruck in rounds 1 3 and 5.

Go back to pretending you understand politics lol

This is a lie. Pereira outstruck Ankalaev in rounds 1 and 3 only. Alongside with lack of aggression and octagon control it's obvious to any unbiased person that he clearly lost the fight.

that dude is consistently one of the most retarded people on this forum, no matter what the topic is. he always manages to have a sub-70 IQ perspective on everything.

Aldo vs Merab was another.

and aldo/florian, aldo/volk, and aldo/mendes 1. aldo put mendes to sleep after that attempted snorefest, thankfully.

Even if you take round 4 away:

1. Ankalaev pushed the action.
2. Ankalaev threw and landed more strikes than Alex.
3. Ankalaev hurt Alex more than Alex hurt Ankalaev.

And if Alex doesn't want to be held against the cage, then create a scramble or land strikes. He was so worried about being taken down that he just accepted the position. Despite popular (uninformed) opinions to the contrary, the person on defense (i.e., on bottom or against the cage) is usually the one stalling the action.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

You got outstruck and almost finished?
But it was the wall and stall that won the fight?

I like Poatan but this is some bitch ass behavior.
Play like a champion, no excuses.

Aldo vs Bautista showed the rules need to be changed asap. As it stands, UFC rules are just an advertisement for grappling/wrestling

I personally prefer watching submission grappling over MMA, but Aldo vs Bautista was not grappling, it was just horseshit.

Agreed. Especially when Poatan was walking backwards the entire fight.

 

[DiazSlap]

Exactly! Stalling ≠ winning

The UFC needs the yellow card…Cmon Uncle Pink Goof

Yeah, I like good sub grappling but I hate wall wrestling, because it's such a UFC phenomenon not seen in other forms of grappling.

The cage creates this artificial barrier, you'd never see in a ring or just an open platform.

I think the Karate Combat Pit is the best platform for MMA and grappling, the Craig Jones invitational also proved that.

Poatan still rocked from those punches in the 2nd round that nearly KO him

 

[MrBlackheart]

I vote to remove the cage and have empty space. But fighters will complain about being pushed out of the octagon and into the announcing booth as “doing nothing”.

 

[MDoza]

Didn’t Poatan land like 10 strikes all fight?

It isn't just the total numbers, it's the location. Pereira landed 76 sig strikes but 48 of them are leg kicks. I'm not saying leg kicks don't hurt. I've been kicked in the leg and it sucks. But judging, if a leg kick doesn't look like it's going to make you fall over, it has to be scored less than a shot to the head that makes you wobble, stumble, or back peddle.

 

[empsim]

I mean, yeah, but Ankalaev also won the striking...

 

[richardjohnson]

Ankalaev had less than six minutes of control time in that fight, why are we acting like all he did was hold Pereira against the fence?

Also I can't lie there is definitely comedy in a kickboxer transitioning to MMA and then advocating for the rules to change to be more like kickboxing.

 

[Pechan]

Poatan is right, literally rewarding someone hugging someone else

 

[World eater]

I fell asleep by just remembering that match
