Thank you man!!

[@standingoffthecorner]

neither of these guys really deserve a title shot IMO. "oh well Rountree's best win is Anthony Smith!!!" bro so is Ankalaev. and Ankalaev got subbed by paul craig, who rountree knocked the fuck out? truth is, Alex has ran thru this divison, and the ufc is throwing guys at him cuz he wants to fight, and guys wanna test their luck. Ankalaev was offered this fight at 303 but was all "bratha bratha we fight abu dhabi bratha" they gave it to someone else. big whoop. dude is probably getting alex next anyways.

[@jamescurth701]

That is a perfect summation of this situation

[@truthseeker96]

Most casual and misinformed comment of all time. First of all MMA Math doesn't work. Ankalaev KO'd Walker and Walker has KO'd Rountree. And Paul Craig has not only submitted Ank but also Jamal Hill who was the previous champ of the division. Secondly Ankalaev fought in the Apex in January and he suggested Abu Dhabi due to scheduling (the UFC hadn’t booked UFC 308 yet). He never said *he would only fight in Abu Dhabi.* Pereira fans are being dishonest because deep down many of them know Ankalaev is a tough matchup. Also for those saying “Magomeds best win is Johnny Walker (it isn’t its Krylov)”.

[@standingoffthecorner]

@@truthseeker96 bro the rankings are literally MMA math

[@MartialArtsNk]

@@standingoffthecorner Nah, Ankalaev's best win is actually Nikita Krylov, which was a very close decision win. Other than that very well said, rankings are literally MMA math is one of the wisest things I heard this year.

@@standingoffthecorner If rankings are MMA math then there is no standard upon which you'll choose the contenders

[@djccombat5530]

We already scene a mortal kombat fight with Alex. When he fought Jiri. We’ve seen him face enough pure strikers. Its time to test him against a really good wrestler. If you’re a true fan of the sport you wanna see the elite striker get tested and prove he can actually deal with good wrestlers

[@MartialArtsNk]

That's Jon Jones mate, not BUmkalaev. Bumkalaev can't wrestle to win a decision for the life of him (ask Jan), 1 year of greaco roman wrestling don't make Ankalaev elite.

[@ImissGoldie]

@@MartialArtsNk yes he doesn’t grapple a lot in fights but he will against pereira unless he’s stupid and he comes from the same wrestling background of the nurmagomedovs so he is more then capable to submit Alex

@@ImissGoldie Mate, he has 0 submission wins and no he does not. He trained greaco roman wrestling for 1 year, his background isn't the Nurmagomedovs. And he himself said he would stand and bang, and he has to, Alex is the way better grappler at this point in time.

[@quintong8370]

It’s finally hit the fans that fairness should be valued over entertainment. That’s why people believe Ankolive vs Alex > Khalil vs Alex. Barely was anyone mad at Leon choosing Colby vs Leon in September, same with Aspinall after beating Sergey, everyone was against Jon vs Aspinall until the resume, evidence started poring in and people start to realise that Aspinall is deserving over Stipe.

[@MartialArtsNk]

Bro wtf are you on about? Literally everybody was complaining about Jones vs Stipe from the get go, nobody said that Stipe deserves that fight other than Jones.

[@ChaosReaper426]

​@MartialArtsNk nah when jones won vs Gane there was no one else deserving of a shot outside of maybe pavlovich. Tom was ranked like 7 or 8. If there was never an interim belt. Then no one would think Tom deserved the shot by last year

[@quintong8370]

@@MartialArtsNk When Jon made a post last year, absolutely glazing Alex Pereira to set a match with him after Stipe instead of Aspinall, there were far more Jon glazers than before. When you’d make a comment disagreeing with Jon, there’s a ton more reply’s back then compared to now.

[@quintong8370]

@@ChaosReaper426 Pavlovich was already the most deserving title contender before Stipe vs Jon after his win over Blaydes in April. Still even when Stipe vs Jon was scheduled, Pavlovich was the next in line to fight the winner and the backup of their fight which Stipe and Jon knew months in advance. Still Jon dropped out and Stipe ducked Pavlovich hence why Aspinall beat him. Stipe in his 2nd reign as champ wasn’t dominant at all, he’s ducked Pavlovich as a replacement knowing he was the replacement. Why should he still be given the privilege of a title shot over Aspinall who beat the guy he ducked, beat everyone in the top 5 besides Gane which ducked him twice alongside Tybura and Spivac in the top 10? Everyone thought Aspinall was deserving when he beat Pavlovich and 3 other guys in the top 10.

[@ChaosReaper426]

@@quintong8370 "If there was never an interim belt. Then no one would think Tom deserved the shot by last year." Bro read what I said. My point was that immediately after the gane fight there wasn't a super solid contender and there was a solemn understanding that Jon would completely destroy Stipe and then retire. Pav got his win and everyone believed he'd fight for the title next, but there was no argument to be had about ducking. If jon made it to that fight there would be no ducking allegations and He probably woulda fought gane or volkov for the title as Aspinall wasn't in the question as he had just gotten a number 7 win vs tybura which was never justifable for a titleshot. At the end of the day, the UFC caused this by making that Interim fight and are desperately trying to pretend they didnt. Because if you imagine that they didn't. And Tom got the same wins, only now would be 100% mandatory for a title shot after a win vs blaydes. And all this suddenly makes sense. TLDR the ufc used a fake interim belt as an negiotation tool in order to force Pav and tom to fight each other, knowing damn well they couldnt honor that belt without sidelining them both for a year(Which to be fair is common in heavyweight)

If we start giving title shots to ‘fun’ fighters and not deserving contenders it ruins the integrity of the sport. Even if we have a less interesting fight from time to time it’s better to have fights that make sense, otherwise how can you ever complain about senseless fights. Also, watching Rountree get KO’d as a forgone conclusion isn’t a fun fight. A fight against Ankalaev where we see Pereira tested in a way he hasn’t been yet and where we don’t know what each guys game plan will be is fun. If you don’t like takedowns why do you watch MMA. Muay Thai is a thing

[@MartialArtsNk]

Stop yapping about takedowns and Ankalaev, the guy is barely a wrestler and has 0 submission wins. We saw Alex being challenged in the wrestling department enough already. And don't complain about Rountree, Alex is literally coming off fighting 5 UFC champs in a freaking row. He deserves a gimme fight more than anybody else.

[@Bigz-x5w]

​@@MartialArtsNk you need to sto yapping ank doesn't have a sub threat but he has a take down threat the question is will ank actually take down alex or not. Alex's grappling hasn't been tested yet because the ufc has given him favourable match ups he's not face a single offensive wrestler

[@MartialArtsNk]

@@Bigz-x5w Lil bro literally half the guys he fought tested his grappling and it's legit. His grappling has been tested 10 times more than Ankalaev's, and Ankalaev is not an offensive wrestler at all. He only uses it when he loses on the feet badly.

I want Ankalaev cause he's proven to be of a similar level to Alex. ( I actually still favor alex). It's a more even fight.
