Only fight that makes sense if not Ank is Bones . I know Khaz has been hot topic and the Bones Aspinal fight. I really think Jones spurns Aspinal and tries 1 last fight at LHW vs Pereria who he views as easier to cement legacy and retire as Chsmp of Division he ruled. Jmo

Well.. as long as Alex is active.. he can fight Ankalaev after he starches his next opponent.

Ankalaev fought in march before, in 2022 to be exact. What's different this time? Yeah.

Also it's amazing how some idiots think that the guy would literally fight the next day after ramadan is over. He will demand time for at least a 2-3 month camp after Ramadan is over and then you would have Pereira (the fucking champion of the divison, mind you) doing absolutely nothing until june/july to accomodate the needs of some mongoloid diva.

Don't kid yourselves, Ankalaev is a scam artist. Some of you are just too dumb to see it. Dude turned down this fight MULTIPLE TIMES.

Only on Sherdog will you see this insane amount of ignorance and have 5 other people agree like he made some valid point... Google Ramadan 2022 and watch your whole argument fall apart.

keep bouncing on pereira's dick, he's about to cum soon, you can do it!

I'm sober now and that's not cool sherbro. I don't even post about potan, but all of your post seem to be about Ank, or anti potan. So who's the dick rider exactly.

Bam! Even in April back in his career. Ank is full of shit.

lol Check above.

Actually, you're full of shit. Ankalaev has only fought once in April and that was back in 2016 and according to Google Ramadan 2016 was 6 June to 5 July. Ramadan changes every year it's not a fixed month like Christmas for Christians. According to Google it's 10-12 days earlier each year. This year it will be from 10 March to 11 April. in 2022 it was April to May.

Here is Ank saying he’ll beat Pereira in March which clashes with…….. Ramadan, before anybody says that’s Ali and not him, Ank also said Ali runs his social media under his supervision.

Also read another interesting article from a coach who has trained a bunch of Muslim fighters and he says the actual Ramadan start date can be delayed by up to 10 days for reasons such as illness or professional and it isn’t Haram.

nothing wrong in turning down a job for religious reasons, absolutely.
but since it's technically possible to do Ramadan and train (in reality, as someone else has said already, they just switch night and day and do their things as usual) and since none outside of him is forcing him it's better to not use it as an excuse.
it's true for him and for who is screaming "duck".

Pereira is the most active champion since... i don't even remember anyone as active as him.... and people here are complaining just because a shitty kickboxer with a neckbeard is supposed to be a wrestling ace and the one who'll dethrone the champ.

Look at the Poatan fluffers - clinging on to likely fake news about a 2nd hand Joe Rogan of all people quote, just to cheer on potential ducking.

The most pathetic fanbase in MMA history.

Pereira is ducking Ankalaev, and the UFC is probably on board with this. Ankalaev vs Rakic and Pereira vs Khalil were so unnecessary considering they fought in the same month.

Probably true. Though if Poatan's next fight is against someone who can grapple, it'd make it much harder to criticize even if its not Ank.

The more strikers Alex faces, the more heat he will get for not fighting Ank. I definitely think he will try to shut the critics up eventually (likely this year if possible), and it's a more winnable fight than Jones, Aspinall and Chimaev.

not sure why he'd face heat because his division has no grapplers. not his fault

I honestly don't see any other fight making any type of sense for Pereira other than vs Ank at 205 right now.

Poatan will do anything to ensure he goes up against kickboxers who don't have elite level wrestling/grappling skills. Poatan said it himself that he is going to make Anklaev wait. Poatan has ZERO grappling skills and was taken down by non-grapplers like Adesanya easily.

I don't like Anklaev especially his connections with Kadyrov and how he threatened Dana White to overturn the decision against Anklaev (where Jan won), but he deserves to be the next. Period. Poatan is being protected by UFC.

No he is not. Yes, I saw him once accepting Islam, but it looked like a temporary stunt.

He was eating Pepperoni pizza after a fight and has had several girlfriends since that time. Not what a typical Muslim would do who observes Ramadan.

Lol my boss is a Muslim born in Jordan he says you don't even have to fast it is not a must. Most strict Muslims do it as a badge of honour, but the teaching state If you provide a meal for someone who cannot eat (the poor) you can be permitted to eat I'm told. He also told me there are no rules about your toilet facing east and also no rules about shaving your moustache. Those are just cultural things not religious

Muslims I know only fast from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan. How does this stop anyone from training or fighting? Just sleep during the sunny time and train at night. Why not adjust schedule instead?

Wall of text that doesn’t explain why Alex needs to fight when Ank can fight instead of the other way around.

I swear some of you have it completely backwards about who’s champion and who’s challenger and what that entails

And it's absurd to pretend that religion is a real thing anyways.
