Why no response from Big Ank

[CobraCobretti]

Big Ank, or Ali, seems to be on call on social media constantly. Why no response to Almeida? Don't tell me his callout went under their radar because nobody believes that.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I think the UFC’s plan is a rematch with Alex.

 

[TheNewGame]

He's #6 ranked in a different division and isn't exactly a draw. What's in it for Ank and the UFC to want this fight over a Pereira rematch?

 

[HHJ]

Cos he already knows that fight isn't happening

 

[nostradumbass]

You wanna post what the eff you're talking about that they should "respond" to?

Well, he's the one screaming that nobody wants to fight him and he just needs a opponent.

We know that with IFW resolved it'll be against Pereira and Ali is just making noise on social media, but Almeida called his bluff and he balked

 

[MC Paul Barman]

Let’s just say…

He’s been busy with extracurricular activities.

Or ufc doesn't want him to move down, and to stay where he is.

I agree that the UFC doesnt want him to go down.
But what's the ufc want has nothing to do with what Ali would respond on social media. He just went MIA there

Updated the op.

Cos there's no point.

It makes sense for them to agitate poatan and jiri for turning down the fight.

Guys he realistically is gonna fight. But if it's dead silence from the UFC for a lhw Almeida title fight to be made, why should he bother?

If he's a good manager he def isn't hauling ladders up a division and giving a title shot for no reason. And if ufc ain't interested there's no point anyway.

To be fair, they said "anyone in the LHW division". Almeida is currently a HW.

 

[HHJ]

Ufc would be dumb to let that fight happen. Hw desperately needs almeida

I'm sure he means nobody who is worthy. #3 Ulberg will probably be ready if Pereira and Jiri aren't.

Anyways can Jailton even make weight so soon?

Right. Unrealistic.

also Almeida wouldnt even stay in LHW (he said so in portuguese), that would be even worse for UFC.

My point here is just that is fun to talk shit on the internet, but when someone calls your bluff you got hear some shit on the internet too

Thats only if you are a Big sexy uncle Ank hater and have unrealistic expectations about how he should rule over his division in which Almeida has nothing to do with anyway. On the outside looking in.

The cold dark non title picture :: sound of gale force winds ::

 

[Sycho Sid]

Obviously he is shook, scared, ducking or whatever else dumbass thing people accuse fighters of for nothing

It's the most random callout ever though. That's like Du Plessis saying he can't find a fight with the top guys at MW then Ulberg calling for a MW titleshot. I'm sure there're better examples but it's a weird callout that the UFC would never even allow.

Did you not read the tweet he put out or?
