Hot Take Where is Ank?

[TR1]

Yep, no one liked him until he's set to fight the guy everyone liked them all of a sudden he has tons of fans and is going to smash then wins a horrible bad fight and the fans double down then gets absolutely slaughtered in the rematch and they are all gone...... Except @HHJ he might have been and still be anks onlyfan(s).

Oh so Periera should have had zero fans after he got demolished by Izzy in their rematch?

Ok.

Plenty of people have been saying Ank is a top prospect for years. Not everyone is a casual like you bud.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Nah he should fight Murzakanov

I like this matchup

 

[CoconutHead]

Was this confirmed ? He received backlash from those close to him which strongly suggests it might not have been the case and rather a prep problem. Case in point Fedors comment that he needs to “ draw his own conclusions”. You don’t make a comment like that if it was an injury problem.

But for arguments sake - what the hell are you doing entering a fight with severe rib problems ? If this is indeed the case then it is testament to his bull headed nature that is prevalently holding him back.

Bullshit excuse

 

[Streeter]

He spend 2-3 years in Brasil now to forget.

 

[Streeter]

We await the glorious return.

I'm all honesty hes a good fighter but he doesnt beat Jiri unless Jiri gets dumb which he does sometimes but likely beats Ulberg . Azamat vs Ank is a good fight ifctbry would do it.

It is strange after Pereria embarrassed him after all his trash talk by running right through him in a minute dude has been quiet as a church mouse. we might get humble Ank now.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Bullshit excuse

What exactly ?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Shiny isn't an attribute I would ever put on Ankalaev.

He has the charisma of an old grandmothers sock.

This. He's a bologna sandwich.
Yeah, it's a sandwich, but..

 

[TheBulge]

You ever hear stories about war where the losing soldiers take off their uniforms and weapons so that they could blend in with the rest of the fleeing population and escape? That's what Ank fans did after his brutal loss to Poatan.

 

[Tokoloko]

1.) Poatards are sensitive little bitches. I don't even dislike Potana he is awesome but these guys make their whole identity repeating CHAMA like its the funniest thing in the world.
2.) He is Muslim. Let's be honest, there is a whole contingent of pussies from the Western world who seethe and cope at any Muslim fighter succeeding.
3.) Ali posted on Ank's twitter to get him a title shot (after Ank went through quite a long fight streak to get the shot while staying as quiet as can be). This is apparently an unforgivable sin.

There is a whole brigade of bitches on here who make their whole identity about "Not being into Dag fighters" whatever the hell that even means. Imagine saying something retarded like "Not into American fighters" or "Latino fighters, ugh what a bore!". Mind boggling dumb and reeking of casual filth.

1) stop acting like Poatan fans only hated on him - cuz definitely not truth.
2) His religion is reason why he have any fans in the first place...and he is not exactly "perfect" muslim in my eyes, since he is accepting gifts from dictator, refused to follow ramadan due to fight, etc. - So stop with that too .
3) Only true main reason, but "to get him titleshot" ? Stop... He got one titleshot for free even before Ali/Ank started with this BS.

Like even Jiri wanted to put Ank into his place outside of Octagon after what his behavior was IRL / in matchmaker negotations compared to his behaviorf on internet. Like go back to Ankalaev vs Poatan 2 and look who was 50 cm from Ankalaevs face "spitting fire" on him during ref check, and remember that either Hill and Rakič went off on Jiri, but he wasnt even close to be mad on them like he is/was on Ankalaev...

You want to discuss Anks loss who is 1-1 against him and yet ignore the vicious beat downs on Jiri ? Get outta heeeeeere

U and his two more fans can try convince urself that Jiri lost “worse” and etc. - i dont care

+ It doesn’t change what i said since my point was completely different than what u are talking about. Thanks for good laugh tho.

Ank has almost half a million followers than Jiri.

 

[kkthx]

who?

 

[Mammothman]

He dont got to work on anything, he is a perfect person just the way he is.

He just need to tell Ali to fuck off.

 

[jeff7b9]

This.

They screwed up by announcing Jiri/ulberg as a title eliminator. Because it's Jiri wins he'll have to fight Poatan again, then Poatan retires or goes to HW and the LHW division is left with the top guys being seen as inferior.

Their only saving grace is of Poatan goes to HW soon and vacates the LHW belt

They are not going to strip Poatan before white house.

If indeed he wants to fight at HW which he has said, it 'sells' better if he has a belt... even if it is a stale belt he has no intention of ever defending again.

Then they can do the old interim title and that guy gets promoted to champ routine.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

So many casuals in this thread.

Ank is among literally the best LHWs to emerge in the past half decade in the world.
If you disagree you don't know what the fuck you are watching. Go watch Jake Paul.

Poatards seem to forget they are 1-1.

Why do you think that people that do not care about Ankalaev are "Poatards"?

 

[legedema]

Ank is the best in LHW division. yes, he lost, can happen.
there is no need to talk about him yet. he needs a fight booked and I hope they book him against Jiri

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

probably sharpening his teeth somewhere

 

[balkanbomber85]

Why do you think that people that do not care about Ankalaev are "Poatards"?

It’s the narrative those Bathtubbers rely on: “If you’re not with us, you must be a sour fanboy or a hater!”

They simply cannot accept that some people don’t like certain fighters, for example because they’re boring to watch or for other legitimate reasons, so they fall back on the “hater” narrative to cope.

 

[ejazahmednit]

He needs to get a fight lined up soon.
UFC has been very lax lately in getting fighters back in the cage asap.
Everyone is resting or injured
