Poatan vs Ank was a fluke, remember Amanda vs Pena

[Reach Finesse]

Roundtree was beating him until he gassed

Amanda is a complete mixed martial artist. Alex is not. He is a great fighter and kickboxer. He is exciting and marketable. Comparing these two situations, Amanda versus Pena, and Alex versus Ankyliev, is just not a valid comparison. As exciting as Alex is, Amanda is on another level in MMA then he will ever be. Facts. This fight kind of highlights the fact that the UFC has let all of their wrestlers go in this weight class. Seems like the UFC is not very into MMA these days.

Dats y Poatan haffi run it back wid Jamahill first mandem gwan too far from di root timeline yuh nuh kno wha kinda Obeah yuh a meddle wid fam

I still think nunes threw that fight to hype her retirement fight lol

I almost threw $20 on Pena, Dom Cruz and whoever Cody no love lost to but I took a nap instead and slept too late. I had to drive 30 mins to the next state where betting was already legal (which I had done many times before) but I worked out instead. I would've turned $20 into like $1,800. I couldn't believe what I was watching on 2 different levels. If I ACTUALLY thought Pena would win I would've made it a point to drive there

 

[RockyLockridge]

Pena is a proven two time champion and divisional goat contender don't compare her to that bum

JDS/cain 1 was a fluke??

A guy with 11/13 wins by TKO gets another first round TKO when an inferior striker kick-boxes at mid to long range with him.

That’s no fluke my friend

Cain completely dominated JDS in the second fight (50-43 on one official scorecard) and presumably dominated him again in their third fight - but since he got the finish in Round 5, I wasn't able to find any round-by-round scoring for that one.

So yes, when you knock a guy out in a minute, then he comes back to completely obliterate you for 48 minutes straight, I think we can call that a fluke.

 

[OleBuffalo]

you don’t believe that, stop it buddy

 

[pamirec]

Poatan will do better in the rematch, but not enough to win. He’ll throw more punches, which means he’ll have to open up. Chances of Ank tagging him and even getting him down will be higher. Their fight showed that Ank can definitely knock him out.

 

[BigOlJeet]

Conor vs Aldo was a fluke, Andy vs Weidman was a fluke and Poatan vs Ank was definitely a fluke as well.

JDS vs Cain 1 was a fluke.

This was a high level competitive fight between two elite fighters. Very possible Pereira wins a rematch, but there was nothing flukey about this fight. Ankalaev deserved the win.

Both are correct

 

[RichardHarrow]

Nah. I must have been on a smoke break

I was getting snacks.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I mean, it's not as big a fluke as that time my favorite fighter lost their fight. My favorite fighter changes every week, btw

It’s the Sherdog way, favourite fighter is all current champs, subject to change once they lose the belt. Fickle place. War Chama forever.

 

[Steve Fox]

This is a very bad comparison. Completely different fights.

 

[kahymo]

How much left hooks Pereira landed ?

it was no fluke, he could not land his hard shots

the counter striker made him freeze after he ate a few big shots in the second round

 

[CroCopsLHK]

I would like to see it

But I'm not sold

Ankalaev is so well rounded and sharp. I believe in Chama and do feel he was doing some dumb ass shit leading up. I think if he truly wants revenge he can make it a good rematch

 

[HHJ]

Conor vs Aldo was a fluke, Andy vs Weidman was a fluke and Poatan vs Ank was definitely a fluke as well.

One of these things is not like the other (besides none of them being flukes, of course)

Him knocking out a guy in one punch isn't really a fluke because at the time he did it so often and he was good at it so it was better than just luck but I don't entirely disagree with you. It was an instance where a less talent fighter was able to win. Such is life at hw.

 

[Nobru]

I dont think it was a fluke. Ank fought better and Alex was too shy for a reason Im failing to understand. fear of a td? I dont think we will ever get to know that.

with that said, a rematch between these two can turn out to be quite a good fight. Ank will be more confortable/confident to strike and Alex will have to push the pace, he wont want to lose again

Just book the rematch and lets see what kind of gameplan Alex will put up this time

 

[Bork Neslar]

Ankalev is good but Pereira can win the hematch. He already avenged a brutal loss against Jizzy.
