That's some high level ducking.. - I want to fight again soon but bring me another striker that I already KOed lol.. But he's a warrior and wants to fight often lolAlex says he wants to get back into the cage sooner and Ankalaev won’t be ready by then. He’s not ducking anyone.
Has he not heard of Ankalaev?
Outside of Ankalev who is there at the top? Seems Ankalev doesnt want to fight until the fall for some reason, so if Alex wants it sooner and Jiri is game why not?Too soon for a rematch, especially when there are other contenders waiting
All these quick rematches are stalling the division and holding back contenders. I remember when rematches were rare in the UFC, and actually got fans excited because there were compelling storyline and buildup behind them
He is picking to fight sooner than later, Ank wants to fight in the fall...He's picking the striker over Ankalev.
I thought Belal... I mean Ankalaev was promised the next title shot.
Are we in for Jiri vs Alex 2?
The ugly, boring, Ankalaev thinks "he" can dictate terms to the crowd-pleasing Champ-Champion ... and so ruined his own chances.
No one to blame but himself.
Why the hold upHe is picking to fight sooner than later, Ank wants to fight in the fall...
He has only lost his UFC debut. he's got like 10 wins after that. There's literally no reason whatsoever to deny him. His style has nothing to do w it.Anyone want to lay out an argument as to why Ankalaev even deserves a title shot? Something other than he's a grappler, when he's really just a striker with low IQ.
Fun fact, Ankalaev has 0 submission wins in his entire career and has 10 KO victories.
Wins over who? Walker, Smith, old Santos? Good wins I suppose but nothing that screams title shot worthy. Rakic is a bigger win than anything Ankalaev has ever done.He has only lost his UFC debut. he's got like 10 wins after that. There's literally no reason whatsoever to deny him. His style has nothing to do w it.
Calling the shots after his last win was WALKER and he's not even the champ. Plus, Pereira is active. Why wait until almost November Lmao.Ank should have never mentioned fighting in the UAE
Actually Ankalaev is way more solid. Jiri is just an anime protagonist that gets stronger the more his opponent beats him upAnkealev is far less impressive than Jiri against lesser competition and also is based like Jiri, Ankalaev says he wants to fight Poatan in Dubai, Alex doesn't want to wait that long.
