Vadim Nemkov comments on Ank vs Poatan

[Ludwig von Mises]

Vadim Nemkov: "The public is disappointed in the result because Pereira is their boy but that doesn't mean it was a bad fight. I think those who understand fighting liked the fight and those who were cheering for Ankalaev liked the fight too. Ankalaev took a lot of risks, he out played him (Russian way of saying out-smarted ) and also controlled him against the cage effectively. To those complaining about this fight being boring should should direct their complaints to Poatan because he was the one who ran away and refused to engage for most of the fight. He landed some great kicks but landed almost nothing with the hands."

Accurate assessment

It was a fight that wasnt boring or exciting. Business as usual for the new champion.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

I didn't know that the Owl had already beaten Nemkov too.

 

[Fact Checker]

Nemkov himself doesn’t care about being boring, same dude who was gunshy against a 50 year old Romero.


I remember Jiri beating this dude into quitting lol.

More Homer-Simpsoned him into quitting.

Why people saying Alex ran away when all Ank did was try and sniff crotch? Dude was like 0-13 in take down crotch sniff attempts. Even when Ank had Alex up against the cage, what damage did Ank do? Alex was constantly kneeing Ank, while Ank was just stalling. Plus we saw how when Alex was lighting up Ank with those leg kicks, and Ank would then desperately go for the wall'n'stall crotch sniffing.

This reminds me of instances when my brother puts on some modern music that is a mix of 10 styles. I Listen to it, random shit’s all over the place, no proper momentum, no clear riffs. I get bored after a minute, then my brother (who plays 4 instruments) proceeds to inform me how difficult to pull off some random technique is on a six string fretless bass. Dude, I don’t care, if I need to be a pro musician to appreciate it, I’m not interested.
Sorry Vadim, it was a boring fight. But, again, he is right - Alex was to blame more than Ank and Ank deserved the win.

 

[RockyLockridge]

The fight was what is was not the type of fight id watch again

 

[Harlekin]

Poatan was just throwing weak leg kicks
Ankalaev was crotch sniffing and wall n stalling

Both did their best to make it a shit fight

 

[NoSmilez]

Ank fought a smart fight. He won rounds striking then he slowed the pace down with wall wrestling. It isn't exciting but it shows some ring IQ.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Poatan fanboys in shambles.

LOL man the way you tell the story it seems remarkably one-sided. Were you surprised it wasn't 50-45 Poatan? Why do you think UFC are hiding your version of the stats that show Poatan out-landing Ank like 5:1?

Ank could barely walk by round 2 vs Jan. You said Alex was "lighting up Ank w/ those leg kicks." Really?

Alex deserves better fans.

 

[Nobru]

IMHO Ank fought well, deserved the win by a slight margin, but neither did much damage. Ank did land a good punch tho and walked forward, that counted I guess.
I have no favorites in the rematch, honestly.

Don't forget 50 yr old Romero also stole a round off Nemkov too.

So Ank wasn't shooting for crotch sniffing when Alex was landing the calf kicks? Why did Ank wall'n'stall (crotch sniffing) if he was winning all the stats? 0-13 on takedowns is winning stats?

huh? How was Nemkov gunshy vs Romero? He treated him like a human punching bag for 4 rounds.

It wasn't like he stood 10 feet away like Izzy did.

alex was lighting him up with leg kicks that did nothing? He then got nearly knocked out and outboxed for the whole fight lol, it was 1 round of wall and stall, for alex it was 5 rounds of being on the backfoot throwing less punches to the head than rose namajunas against carla esparza ffs

Poatan fanboys in shambles.

They really stink up these forums

Nearly knocked out? And yet Alex never fell to the ground from the strike that nearly knocked him out. lol ok. Either way, that was only in 1 round. That one strike only counts for the 2nd round, not all 5 rounds. You shertards really is be low iq huh?

Again, if Ank was winning the standup so easily, why did he resort to sniffing crotch via wall'n'stall the whole fight? And when on the cage, Ank was constantly getting kneed in the gut from Alex.
