@kiwitalkspodcast The first round was close, and the next 2 rounds, Jan absolutely dominated him with leg kicks. Ankalaev showed next to nothing in that fight other than the ability to lay and pray when he couldn't stand anymore. Sorry, the ufc isn't giving a title shot so easily to a guy who was lucky to lay and pray his way to a draw. His wrestling was not very impressive, and his striking was worse. Plus, he complained like a spoiled brat afterward.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Alex Pereira, I think he's brilliant to watch and he could actually lose to Rountree/beat Ankalaev but still, the rankings mean nothing if they're just gonna give the fights to whoever the UFC like/give in to their scummy pressure tactics.

Stipe got a title shot because of his reputation as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Both him and Jon want to go off in a bang. One being undefeated while the other gets paid. Belal got his after going on an undefeated streak. Khauntree got his after Magomaev TURNED down his opportunity. Colby got his after he weigh in to be the backup for The Kamaru and Leon fight beforehand. The rankings aren’t the only deciding factor.

Let’s just get the facts about LHW straight. Ankalaev denied fighting Alex at 300 and 303. Ankalaev also wants to fight in the upcoming Abu Dabi card and Alex has already said he has no interest in fighting there. Ankalaev then decided to get booked for Abu Dabi, which then takes him out of the picture for whatever Alex might want to do. Alex gets to make these calls because he has already saved 2 major cards for the UFC. He has been one of the most active champions, and has shown his ability to fight at a moments notice so if Ankalaev wanted that shot maybe he should’ve picked a better manager who can see the bigger picture. This is moving on to speculation, but the reason Khalil likely got given the fight was because he was probably the first dude on the list who said yes. There are people who are free and haven’t yet lost to Alex above Khalil. It would not surprise me if people above Khalil denied the fight. Don’t get mad that Khalil has that dog in him. Better him than Ankalaev who decided to end a championship fight with a draw (on a guy Alex beat btw).

It’s got to the point where the UFC thinks their viewers are stupid enough to just eat this up. There is no integrity. If it weren’t for public pressure, the UFC would literally just make whatever fight their matchmakers are telling them will make the most money…even if they are dead wrong. I got to the point where I was so tired of the gaslighting I stopped paying for pay-per-view recently. And I know I could’ve been streaming them the whole time, but the juice just ain’t worth the squeeze anymore, especially if they’re going to insult my intelligence lol

And before anyone comes after me, this is not about a specific fight. Just seems like the past year there have been an unruly amount of suspiciously awarded title shots. I know this is not a new phenomenon, and the UFC has a line to tow with this stuff. But they used to at least TRY to hide their intentions. Now, they charge more than ever for a less authentic product…

I don't understand why everyone seems to be crying about these match ups. They're all in super weak divisions. Jones got injured. Aspinall is getting his ppv points and got to fight in Manchester. How is he getting screwed??? Women's bantemweight sucks. Nobody really cares about anyone in the top 5 of that division. They're still parading arpund 60 yr old Holly Holm ffs. Roundtree vs Poatan is just a fun fight to save the Utah card. Saving cards is what Poatan does. He saved a Jones card, a Conor card and 300. He's the ace the UFC needs. Ankalaev can wait.

Dana going out of his way to protect Jon Jones from fighting Tom aspinal so that he can have some sort of cope and seethe win over Francis Nganou is as an egregious miscarriage of title fights as not stripping Connor so that Tony could have a shot at the title and not just an interim belt.

MMA can not and will never be a legitimate sport as long as the UFC monopolizes it. It is solely entertainment.

Dont worry ill say what you cant. Juliana last fight was an absolute ass whipping. Never seen someone solidify “it was a fluke” more then what Nunes did to Pena

i dont lie everyone sayng khalil fight makes no sense he is the only striker in the top 10 not defeated by Alex or Juri in the last 2 years. It makes sense all of the other fighters are wrestlers or bbj. They are building Alex just like they are building Shawn. We knew this since his title path to Izzy. But This is good match making. all the others will just wrestle him to death and we Saw what happened to wonderboy vs Bellal

Like i get it, if you dont want to give it to ankalaev there are still people who deserve it more, like volkan oezdemir, who koed walker badly and on a 3 win streak, krylov as well is more deserving, why the hell is khalil who got destroyed by walker getting the shot? This will be another lopsided ufc title fight like leon vs colby, and the fans will end up scraching their heads at the end at why this guy got a shot in the first place

No one talks about how ankalaev will only fight in UaE. May be because of visa issues but let’s be real. Watch volk vs machacev 1 vs 2. Islam is noticeably bigger and got accused by another fighter of using IV. I believe these Russians guys only will fight in certain areas for a reason. You can’t be number 1 ranked and demanding where you fight. Yes he deserves the title shot but it puts ufc in a weird spot. And I think also Alex knows this and doesn’t want to give him the edge. Fight the guy who is willing to fight right now. Alex has earned this

Lets be honest khalil vs alex is way better for the fans and ankalaev refuses to fight anywhere the judges aren't muslim
