The best case scenario (unfortunately it's not gonna happen)

[andgonsil]

Ank goes goes for the double belt and Dana forces him to give up the LHW title

Tom smokes him and Ank leaves empty-handed

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

Ank is not looking to go up and shouldn't for quite some time.

Tom would ruin Ank. Even Ank knows it. Ank is an average sized LHW and Tom is a legit HW. And unlike with most matchups, the smaller guy wouldn't have the speed advantage.

Ank could hold the LHW belt for quite awhile, so you are correct in that he wouldn't foolishly chase something he has a minute chance of winning and risk giving up what he's earned in the division he belongs in.

Like Ank is going to do worse than the majority of the fat slobs Tom has beaten.

 

[dildos]

Ank is a lil bitch if he doesn’t try to face Tom right now!

No he wouldn't do "worse" than getting KO'd in rd 1. I agree. The difference between Ank and most of the HW's Tom is smoking is that Ank has WAY more to lose than they do. He's a far better fighter than those guys who happens to be smaller. He fits at 205 and has reached the top there. Someone like Pavlovich or Blaydes aren't making LHW. They have no choice, Ank does.

Not an appropriate matchup at all. Nobody should be asking for this. And with today's social media "don't say what you actually mean" who knows if this is even regards to a fight. Ankalaev just the other day told Jones to quit ducking Aspinall. Why would he say that if he's also pushing for a fight with Tom? And if this is a fight proposal, it's exactly why double champ crap needs to be stopped. Guys can't even be champs for a solid 7 days without talking about fighting another weight. It's super boring and I'm completely over it now.

Big Ank gonna be the next Connor but without the drugs, alcohol, rape and losing record

 

[RichardHarrow]

It’s Big Ank time. Get used to it !

Sorry to hear about how sad your life is

 

[MrBlackheart]

Good lord, Islam has a good shot to be ww champ and y’all said that he had to “clean the division" first. Ank had little chance to beat Tom so yall try to speed up this matchup.

 

[jeff7b9]

Guy has no title defenses and hasn't faced most of the top 10.

Let's pump the break on imaginary fights outside the weightclass he isn't even close to having cleaned out yet

 

[Necrocrawler]

The lhw weight cut isnt as harsh as the fw cut
So no…
Ank is not going the topuria/mcgregor way

Also, ank knows he’s not such a needlemover to actually do that

For the last, he’s not even a trashtalker (barely had any relevant social media before he fought jan) to even try proper callouts. The pereira fight will happen and ank (now without any ramadan possible issue*) Will win again


*: not saying he had since he skipped, but i truly believe the date was chose by pereiras management team smart move

 

[Ozze]

Whatever. Get Aspinall to fight already.

Dude's been sitting out since july last year.
He has a total fighting time of 3:37 minutes since 2022.

 

[Haj01]

We are talking about this because Jones is dragging this out, he wants Aspinall to be the last and only option left till he takes the fight.
