This place is cancer post fights.

Does Ank have fans?

I don’t think so, probably just some low key gas-lighters

Only the neckbeard glazers and Alex haters. Nobody actually likes Ank for being himself

Bro I have cancer and I always come back here
The white belts can get a little much, but it’s all good
I’d choose Sherdog over cancer any day

I do. I don't limit myself to one type of fighter that I like. I love the diversity that MMA brings and I can appreciate it all.

This thread seems to be filled with sore losers projecting their frustrations onto the fans of Ank.

 

[Iroh]

No shit. Lol.

Ankalaev is a good fighter and was a stylistic nightmare for Pereira.

I wouldn't say nightmare. More just a tough stylistic match up. Like people loved saying before the fight, Ank isn't a great wrestler, he is just better than most at LHW. If he were actually a great grappler, he'd be a nightmare match up. But he still needed to get most of his success in the stand up.

Alex showed significant improvement in his grappling defense, which was something that should be lauded at his age and with his background, and lost a close fight.

Agreed.

No, his opposition before tonight weren't bums.

Indeed, but kind of a strawman, IMO. I think 99% of the criticism was that his opponents were all mainly strikers, 1% might have called them bums. At least from what I have read.

No, him having media obligations and fun isn't why he lost.

Agreed

No, he wasn't some UFC cultivated concoction who was protected.

Eh.. feels like a misrepresentation of the actual criticism. He was definitely protected, whether that makes him a concotion is another matter.

No, he didn't decide to not train. He just lost to a guy who implement his gameplan well and beat him.

Agreed

Pereira is old and has accomplished a ton in such a short period of time, creating many memorable moments for us, while saving multiple cards on short notice. MMA is hard. People lose. Give Ankalaev his props and Alex his flowers. You don't have fucking hate on everyone or look for excuses.

Agreed.

But, it's the Dawg. People aren't pragmatic. They're hot take artists, biased or emotional. Is normal.

Agreed. Though I don't mind hot takes and hot take artists necessarily.

So everyone who were “fans” of Alex seemed to have followed the belt and became Ank “fans”, do yourself a favour and stay on that side when Alex takes back what’s his. Shertards are fickle as fuck and pure fairweather fans, this flavour of the month isn’t gonna last, acting like Ank dominated bell to bell.

Yes this is dumb, wish Alex took it more serious, looked like he didn’t even train for this fight.

Chama bless.

Aww look at that cope ahhahaa. King Ank took Alex's title and Alex simply isn't getting it back lol.

Yes I do. I usually type out "forums" and it autofills the rest. This has apparently become a reflex.

[FlyingDeathKick]

Yeah no one likes good fighters with impressive skills

 

[Epsteins Guard]

You're mad that people aren't blindly loyal and biased towards a person they don't know?

"wish Alex took it more serious, looked like he didn’t even train for this fight"

These are the words of a fanboy coping with their favorite fighter losing

Nailed it.

TS is just crying that his favorite fighter lost. Very feeble.

 

[TR1]

Poatards deserve every bit of shit they are eating right now.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I wish I could say I was a fan of Alex at some point, but I'm afraid he was never that good

THAT IS THE LAW

 

[volcom5]

It’s either the losing were never that good or they’re out of their primes.

It’s so silly.

 

[volcom5]

Poatards deserve every bit of shit they are eating right now.

For what though? I never really seen much delusional posts from Pereira fans. Unless I just never had a interaction with one.

Or maybe Ank was better and used a better gameplan.
Go watch Fedor vs Crocop

 

[mangokush]

Alex is a great kickboxer but he was exposed when his finally fought a well rounded MMA fighter in Ank instead of a tailor made sloppy brawler or a pure striker

Ank was right when he said that Alex needed to stopping running away from him, Alex was running away from him in the fight as well

Sean, Izzy, Khalil, Hill, Jiri..... They don't wrestle at all or Sean rarely does. Alex has basically fought pure strikers & sloppy brawlers during his UFC run. Wasn't getting that against Ank
