It makes no sense at all. Pereira was fighting at 185 two years ago when magomed was headlining a LhW fight against Santos. 2 years later Magomed has still never lost and yet somehow Pereira got a title shot first? And now STILL magomed doesn’t a fight against him…? wtf? It’s like there’s two parallel leagues…
Sacanagem é o Alex ter que ir a Abu Dhabi em outubro, na casa do russo, com toda torcida contra, pra por em risco o cinturão dele. Ainda por cima, depois de ter salvo 2 eventos em poucos meses (quase sem camping pra luta). Não nos esqueçamos que a única luta relevante que o Ankalaev ganhou foi contra Johnny Walker.
ankalaev WAS offered to fight alex at 301, which he responded to by saying that he wants to fight in abu dhabi, he was probably not going to step up at 2 weeks notice aswell, and its not like ufc is going to make alex or ilia headline a co-main, ankalaev just doesnot want to fight anywhere but the uea, not just ankalaev, but all of these dagis and chechens
Lol are u head of casuals or what? *You think someone will take a LHW TITLE FIGHT ON 2 WEEKS NOTICE* 😂 and when did he say abu dhabi, he only fought there like 1-2 times in his entire ufc carrier.

@@whateverdot he beat volkan ozdemir, Thiago santos, finished Anthony smith, draw with Jan then ko’ed walker, before hill got his shot he’d beaten santos and ko’ed walker, I think Magomed deserves it rn
@@teddystriker So he didn't fight Hill, jiri, drew with jan, didn't fight Rakic, the actual killers at 205. I don't think he *deserves* a title shot but he should get one simply cause theres no one else
Personly i'm okay with it. I mean did Ankalaev actually do anything to deserve the shot? Alex is like 2-3 times active as him. Bro won 1 fight in 2 years over Walker who gets KOd by everyone. Also the fact that "he has this unbeaten streak" He beat a ton of not high level guys His win before getting a title shot purely becouse Jiri pulled out with the shoulder. So he didn't even earned his shot against Jan for the title just got it. Before his 2 fights were Boring decision over Santos and a Smith W that means nothing these days. So after that he draws with Jan that's it the card is clean now. Back to the drawing board. Since he is 1-1 with Johnny Walker. That isn't title shot wothy. Only reanson he would have gotten it is becouse the champ cleared everybody out while this guy sits on his ass yappin about he wants the fight in his home soil, like who the fuck is he? Alex is the A side even the B side Anakalaev is down at X-Z as far as porularity goes. Some dagestani fans he has and that's all. So.him getting a shot from Alex is a big gift from Poatan, simply he is an active G and this guy is still not having enough he wants to demand the date the time and the title shot for himself. It was sick af even when it was Islam vs Olivera when Olivera had to go back to back enemy hometown when he was the guy at the higher position. So this wanker deserves to actually prove he has a reanson to contend with Alex, people just look at his beard and go "well he probably has grappling couse he has a beard and speaks weak English so he should get a shot" From what he's done even Ozdemir is higher since he only needed 1 fight to sleep Walker who was kind of winning both fights until stuff happen. But really Walker since his last title shot that he only got couse of bad circubstances in the division and not from his own doing is 1-1 with Johnny Walker, and people say he deserves it, HE DOESN'T. Simple as. Sure he could get it couse he hadn't lost to Alex yet but that's the only reanson. Pereira can sit back for a few months easily and let his contenders find out who is actually a challanger plus then this guy can get a somewhat justified shot and not calling the shots after beating Walker. So he desrves his fate with Rakic, it would be funny if he gets smoked by him lol, all that talk and some Rakic smacks his legs up something 🤣
@@EmeralArcher tbh I think there’s been worst cases of guys getting an opportunity for the belt, like Colby when he rematched Usman and fought Leon, also I think he was meant to fight Jan as a title eliminator on the Jiri glover 2 card but Jiri Got injured and then Magomed a fight got promoted for the title, I think Magomed should be next regardless of if he deserves it or not because Pereira can fully clear the division, and get his grappling tested before going to heavyweight, I think that even if Magomed uses his grappling he will still lose to Alex because he doesn’t have submission threats or dangerous GnP also he tends to wait until he’s in danger before grappling, but if Alex moves up to Heavyweight now, he could lose, lose some stock and then he’ll have to go back to Lightheavyweight, fight Ankalaev and then rematch Hill
@@teddystriker Yupp. What i was simply saying is that people say now that "Alex is duning Ankalaev" As in Ankalaev is undenyable and still not gets his shot, he isn't Merab. There is simply a diference deserving and earning something or simply being the only one left. He could get it either way and Alex was even about to offer an earlier date and stuff and this guy turns down and wants everything on his terms so i'm happy to see Ankalaev being treated like this, and if he is as good as people say he is he will beat Rakic anyway and get the shot, and if not he shouldn't even been there in with Alex. Couse we can't name a single top fighter Ankalaev beat but people say like "But bro he is actually the best 205er" when all he has is a beard and a long streak filled with bums and no elite opponent beaten. So he should get one at least first. And yeah i think Alex can do him, we watch how unconfortable he was against Jan on the feet, leg kick open, forced to box ect, Alex is far better than Jan on the feet at this point and is on okay grappler. And Alex getting some time off with this can further train his grappling and heal up
@@EmeralArcher I see what you’re saying and yea it’s annoying when people think pereira is ducking, and somehow every fighter in every weight class ducks that one Dagestan fighter, or that Ankalaev is the best Lightheavyweight because he’s from Dagestan, and he’s delusional for not fighting pereira earlier or calling him out to fight earlier right after Alex beat Jamahal
@@teddystriker Yupp. Like people see someone with a beard and they put the title " future champ " on it. Like they got Islam and before that Khabib and literally noone else in that 6-7 years or more since they went mainstream. But they supposedly will have 3 belt and stuff. Like the hype Khamzat got this "first triple champ" Like he is very good but it's 2024 and bro didn't even have a belt let alone 3 and only gets a title eliminator couse he got hype. Dagestani type privilage is an existing thing, especially since UFC made the deal with Abu Dhabi and now that rich turk guy or what not
Ankalaev has more ranked wins at LHW than Jiri and Hill combined.
@@snake0911 yea
He should be next
Facts, Ankalaev beats anyone in lhw
It makes no sense at all. Pereira was fighting at 185 two years ago when magomed was headlining a LhW fight against Santos. 2 years later Magomed has still never lost and yet somehow Pereira got a title shot first? And now STILL magomed doesn’t a fight against him…? wtf? It’s like there’s two parallel leagues…
@@dcamron46 it really doesn’t make sense, now would be the perfect time
He got a title shot tho?
The UFC is Mcgregoring Pereira sidestepping grapplers on this epic run. Once the grapplers show up strikers fall.
Magomed has no submission wins in the ufc. LHW doesn't have that many grapplers
@@goodxd701Krylov, Ankalaev are great grapples
Jan and Jiri have more submission wins than Ankalaev and Alex beat ‘em both. Ankalaev is ass
@@TheBoysWW Ankalaev is not a submissioner, he's a striker who started in Greco roman wrestling, submission has to do nothing with Ankalaev
@@oppenheimer2822 and guess what Alex is a way better striker you’re not helping you’re argument

I wonder if Ankalaev has visa issues. He only called out Pereira to fight in Abu Dhabi, and here he is fighting there... without Pereira
@@fayjaimike well he did fight Jan in Vegas and Johnny walker this year in Vegas too

@@MUSHARRAF_AQUILAlex Periera did.
Ankalaev is the #1 but did he do anything to deserve it lol. I guess there was nobody else
Lol casual, he damn nearly cleared the top 10, at this rate if he becomes the champion he will lap the division.
He absolutely did. He already fought Jan Blachowicz for the championship, to which that fight was a draw.
