Ikram Aliskerov Agrees He's Tougher for Robert Whittaker, Responds to Israel Adesanya | UFC on ABC 6

[@kalebboggs2282]

Ikram has way more fans than even he thinks.

[@Allah_is_the_greatest_1god]

No, he already know the Muslims support him

[@ib23579]

Some translation is inaccurate. For example, Ikram never said he is a tougher opponent for Whittaker than Chimaev. Ikram avoided the comparison with Chimaev altogether and instead spoke that he is ready for top opponents.

​​@@ib23579no aliskerov is just very humble and doesn't seem to be the type of guy that seeks revenge, plus from his other interviews I seen he has a lot of respect for khamzat. Also if am not mistaken he miss spoke when he said he only had 45 kilograms to cut, am I right?

[@ryanb8736]

@@jonde4445Little do you casual watchers know. Ikram Aliskerov is a 4x combat sambo champ trained by the best, Abdulmanap And Khabib since a young g kid. He’s the only guy to beat Amosov in sambo. Not once but twice. For reference, Amosov was 26-0 in mma till last year and is known as one of the best. Aliskerov was the one who beat him twice in sambo. Aliskerov is the most dangerous ground guy. Hes like Khabib and Islam combined in one, but he’s much faster, stronger, technical, with more strength. We’ve been watching him for years climb up the ladder. I called him a champ in the future in UFC. Now after he beats Robert, he will get ranked. I know you only follow a few fighters in UFC, but this guy is on another level. You can go back to my comments in 2019 to see what I said. Future champ.

[@london9842]

Mike had fantastic questions for Ikram: specifically about his weight cut, short notice and will he be ready for 5 rounds, etc. Some of those ESPN journalists be asking fighters the dumbest questions. Refreshing to see a journalist, asking detail questions to a fighter. 👏

@@johnososkalo4705 islam is meant for all of humanity, i say that because people think khabib and his team have some secret juice, its literally just following islam and living your life the right way, people always wonder what makes them so dominant, its living a life of discipline free from the desires of their western counterparts. this makes a man strong and it makes him completely mission oriented. its as simple as that, that and their heavy wrestling culture that they participate in from childhood. honestly imagine how decent the world would be if every man aspired to be like khabib. no reason to hate and ill never understand the hate. they hate him solely for the fact that he is muslim. why? islam isnt out to get you, muslims want for humanity what they have for themselves but they will never force it on anyone, its against our religion. its such a beautiful religion if people just went into it with an open, logical mind.

True...but, on the other hand, there is not a lot to lose. He's done the UFC a big favor when no-one else stepped up. If he wins, it's incredible and supercharges his career. If he loses, an unranked fighter lost against one of the best. As long as he's competitive he can't lose. Whereas much less to gain, and more to lose, for Whittaker.

I believe Aliskerov can compete with anyone from top 5, he has the skills. Against Khamzat, Aliskerov was favorite to win and they said Aliskerov was sick before that fight, still stopped all of Khamzat's takedowns and did better than Usman in wrestling, he just got caught by Khamzat later probably because he underestimated Khamzat's striking, Khamzat wasn't a star when they fought, wasn't known that he could strike too.

In grappling, Aliskerov did even better than Burns or Usman, stopped all of Khamzat's takedowns, Aliskerov's striking is getting better, if they rematch with Khamzat, it could be a close fight.
