The things are worse than they seem: If Pereira loses, then they will do an instant rematch, which means that Ank will have to fight again...

[justmark]

...and if Pereira wins the rematch, then they will probably do Pereira vs whoever is the MW champ for the LHW title( Dricus has said that he wants to fight Pereira at LHW). It's even possible they will do Pereira vs the HW champ. So, Ank will have to wait another 2 years to get the title fight.

I don't think Ank will ever get a title shot... he will fight other contenders until someone finally beats him.

 

[clownkiller]

yeah that's a good theory

 

[KO Shotz]

After Jon & Stipe fight they both will retire & after Poatan KO's Rountree it'll be Pereira vs Aspinall for the vacant HW title.

So, when is Ank going to get the title shot?

[orca]

hes guaranteed a title shot even if he loses lol
why would anyone be surprised
but people would still support it because they like pereira

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Ank.....Fk anyone who can only fight in abu dabi. Seems very suspect. What if he wins? All title matches gonna be over there? Fk that

 

[Streeter]

Ank could of fought Poatan several times already he didn't want to. Probably could of had the 307 slot too but he wanted Abu Dhabi. Ank has done nothing to earn the title shot anyway he's only there because Alex has beaten the others.

I can say No way should Pereria be fighting Roundtree . I respect fact he wants to stay active (4 title fights/defenses in a little over 1 year is unheard of these days) . He should of taken some months off then fight either Aspinall or Izzy Q1 of 2025. If a Lhw it should been Ank but he likely said no AGAIN because he wanted the fight in Abu Dhabi. So the #1 draw in mma fights a zero draw with zero resume in front of his fans for belt - that was never happening.

Atleast if Pereira keeps up his activity rate we can get a couple more fights this year from him, so it doesn't matter as much as slower divisions.

Oh no, so many more exciting Alex Pereira fights to possibly deal with! It's so hard being an MMA fan.

Lol ........ this.

Poatan is literally the most exciting fighter in mma and will of fought like 4 times in a year (8 in last 2) The Dagestanis maybe fight twice - MAYBE. Yeah let's shit on the guy who has fought 8 straight killers in 2 years in favor of a guy that's fought 4 journeyman and Rakic who got kod by Jiri.

Rountree isnt who Pereria should gight but even hes better than anyone Ank has beaten.

Ank had at least 2 shots to fight him and declined then only wanted to fight Alex in Abu Dhabi. Lol
