Will Ankalaev turn down a title fight for Ramadan

[warriorfan808]

We know Poatan wants to take time off, but how long would that be? Since coming to the UFC, he hasn’t waited longer than 5 months to fight. 5 months from now is the start of Ramadan. If he were to allow Ankalaev to finish Ramadan and put in a decent fight camp, we are looking at 7 months. I just don’t see Poatan waiting that long. I have a feeling the next contender for the belt will be the winner of Oezdemir and Ulberg.

With our luck heres what will happen - Ankalaev beats Rakic but by the time Pereira returns it will be Ramadhan thus Ank unavailable. Pereira rematches and defeats another LHW and then moves up /down a weight category.

Each will call the other a duck.

Of course, and then that will be Poatan's fault too because how dare they not cater to all of Ankalaev's needs? Perhaps the most self entitled fighter on the roster.

They could force Alex to fight him on his terms in AD, with him getting a full training camp and Alex having to take another short notice fight after last night, and Ankalaev would still be the victim somehow.

who give a f what Anklalaev wants

When have they catered to Anks needs?

That'd be incredibly sus if Pereria's next fight is during Ramadan

 

[TheBulge]

It's what he demands, not what he's gotten. HIghest demands while pretending to be the victim. It's no coincidence he's one of the more religious ones too. This is all typical behavior.

 

[warriorfan808]

I hope he doesn’t wait. He’s pushing 38 and doesn’t have much more time left in his career

 

[AdamWarlock]

of course he has to, muslims take their religion more serious than anything even their personal careers

which will exactly be the time alex arrange his next title fight.

 

[Kevster]

If Pereira is ready to go in 5 months then so be it, silly people will cry conspiracy while ignoring the fact that it will fit his past fighting schedule perfectly.

Honestly fuck Ramadan, guys want to do it fine let them do it, but it shouldn’t be treated as a built in excuse, it’s a personal choice.

 

[andgonsil]

Ulberg is next

 

[warriorfan808]

Ulberg is next

Would be a great fight

How would it be Sus if the first thing the ts notes is that he fights every 5 months? It would be completely on brand to do so.

"It's sus the UFC and current champion doesn't cater his fights around religious holidays he doesn't follow."
Actual brainlet.
Once again, I will remind everyone that before Team Eagle burst onto the scene, muslim fighters over the decades fought during Ramadan. Belal fought during Ramadan last year. Won't even go into the Christian fasts that are just as long and longer.

Team Eagle and Gorets Fight Team are seemingly the two that like having a month long vacation.
