UFC want Pereira to lose to Khamzat instead of Ank....

[ElLunico]

To make Khamzat a star.. Pereira is 37 and has to fight Ank next otherwise he looks like a duck if he fights any other LHW. They know Ank can make Pereira look like James Toney if Ank decides to use his wrestling and they would get nothing out of it. Meanwhile if Khamzat were to choke Pereira out under a min they'd have a superstar on their hands in Khamzat.

Khamzat has superstar potential while Ank doesn't.

Ankalaev would KO Khamzat

That's the best plan with what they're working with. Pereira is getting old and WILL lose the belt. I'd choose khamzat as well. Khamzat is a star and the best choice outside of pereira to carry the torch at lhw. The ppv would be huge and alex can retire with a fat payday.

I can also see khamzat missing weight, getting sick, injured and not fighting again for 2 yrs

Alex sells tickets, I highly doubt they want him to lose. He is a fan favorite even in the arab countries.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

They want to sell Alex-Jones while they still can. They don't want either to lose before then.

Alex Jones is live on twitter bro

Is this fight even actually happening? Where did this rumor even come from?

It would make more sense to choose Aspinall.

It's an ok theory.

 

[ninja boot]

Khamzat is already a star and that could be 3 fights away from now. It would require a ton of chips to fall into place to happen as well

Agree. I won't believe Alex is fighting Ankalaev until they are in the cage!!!

Khamzat only draws basement dwellers. He's nowhere near a star.

 

[World eater]

So Khamzat fights at WW, beats contenders, does not get a title shot. Fights at MW, beats contenders, does not get a TS. Fights nobody at LHW, gets a TS out of the blue? Because some youtuber said so? If true, it’s a travesty.

 

[Söze Aldo]

It's an ok theory.

The idea that Ankalaev would go through Pereira like Couture did James Toney is peak idiocy. I can easily see Pereira beating Ank if they fight.

another retarded cope comment from you, bravo

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Pereira is a star for the exact reason Khamzat isn't: Pereira is consistent and fights often. ironically, that was Khamzat's biggest pro when he burst onto the scene. but you can't place the crown on someone who nearly retired, is a pull out merchant, can't fight on Ramadan, and hangs out with a known enemy of America.

 

[DanDragon Machi]

I think Khamzt is gonna to treat Pereira like did to Kevin Holland

 

[IronGolem007]

Ankalaev = $0.00 Attraction.

No man (who likes fights) or woman (who likes men) likes Ankalaev.

Ugly, stinky, mis-shapen, ill-conceived, goat-herding miscreant.
Absolutely nothing likable about him at all.

No one will "follow him," quote him, mimic him, want to be like him.

Chimaev isn't far off being in the same miscreant pool — BUT — Chimaev = A Finisher

I personally think Pereira will kill Chimaev, but if Chimaev wins — at least he is an entertaining FINISHER!

There's nothing "entertaining" about the non-finishing Ankalaev.

Even personality wise, Ankalaev is a goat-face.

Chimaev isn't exactly Brad Pitt, but at least he has a good personality.

At this point I have no clue what the UFC wants to do with Khamzat. Highly skillful, exciting,plenty of future star potential, young, big in the middle east. But there's only one problem , he's always pulling out and is super inactive.

If I had to guess, considering how bad the HW division is, there's a higher chance for Alex vs Jones or Aspinall before Khamzat ever sniffing the ts. Alex is highly active so they aren't going to kill that momentum at LHW with an inactive guy
