Why did Poatan's victims become his friends?

[andgonsil]

Yousri Belgaroui was Koed cold and became his main sparring partner

Strickland became his bro

Izzy is rooting for him and invited to train together

Jiri cried after Poatan defeated Ank

Kalil took a beating and is on friendly terms with Alex

 

[Why did you]

Because of the arrow of love with which he eliminates them

 

[MMAMidwit]

Ankalaev is too high testosterone. He's cut from same cloth as Jamahal Hill who has like 20 kids. Grudge for life for catching that ass whooping.

When you lost to someone and you realize they are just on a dif level, the only thing u can do is be their friend and hope to learn from them

[Prazeres]

Jiri and Khalil basically worship him as a mythical being

Because he's a straight up cool person

 

[mogul]

Jiri is just weird though

From what I’ve seen, the guy has a screw loose with his training methods etc

 

[2004 account]

They are smart, can't beat em, join em


Poatan is that special and they recognize it

 

[PlayTheGame]

Alex is essentially the ultimate Western male fantasy of success come alive. He’s one of a kind, his story is one of a kind, and being part of it must feel pretty damn cool.

Any of these guys would look like insecure petty dorks if they tried to hold a grudge against him. His presence, journey, and legacy are much bigger than that.

You’re either secure enough to recognize that, in the broad perspective, you're just another chapter in Poatan's story (except for Izzy, but even his legacy is absolutely overshadowed at this point) and enjoy the ride, or you’re just a butthurt mental midget.

They are his girlfriends essentially

It wasn’t consensual until the ritual was complete

 

[FilipEmoFights]

Adesanya only became his friend after finally beating him

Jiri wasn’t crying because Alex won, he was crying because he just won what was at least a number 2 contenders match and with Alex as Champ he’s probably like 3-5 wins away from a title shot…same situation that Gaetje is in almost. He’s had too many recent Title shots but is crazy entertaining to watch.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

They all understand that with Alex none of the lickings are personal

 

[Streeter]

Not seeing him an Ank ever in same room or on phone unless they got to or by accident. Pereria just doesnt like him and he likes almost everyone

If you ever got into a fight when you were younger, it’s usually the case.
