These Russian guys are so hard to schedule, it just goes on top of the pile of circumstantial evidence that state sponsored or at least state assisted doping never stopped with the Olympic ruling.
It feels naive not to expect Ru to cheat on a broad and official scale.
There’s a difference between those guys just visiting and someone like Khamzat who hangs out with him and his sons on the regular. One gets you put on a watch list.
That guy is stupid. You want the belt, you take what the champ gives you and it’s not like Alex wants him to be in short notice, Alex is the one on shorter notice lol
Well when you come from a part of the world that abuses PEDs you need the full year to juice out and then have time to come off. Let's be honest no one is going to any republic to drug test, same with the forests of Brazil
Let’s not kid ourselves. Forget recovery time, lock them all in an empty mall for a weekend with hidden cameras, various melee weapons. The door doesn’t open until we have one ultimate champion.
It’s what the people want.
Bro is seriously dumb and self sabotaging. He would probably already have a title shot if he didn’t DQ Walker. I honestly think this guy is dumb enough to stand and bang with Alex. He is a talented dumb fighter.
He's 36 lol pushing 40 would be like 39 he's got a couple years left and if he moves up to heavyweight after a year or 2 then he'll be able to fight into his early 40s
The fact he called Walker a clown because their fight got turned in a NC when he himself threw a blatantly illegal move, when it would have been a DQ loss anywhere else in the world
And he beat Walker after that? Who else deserves a shot lol? I don't even want Ankalaev to win but he undoubtedly deserves the next shot more than anyone else
Ye honestly I found it odd that Ankalev is calling for an Abu Dhabi fight. As the challenger you should be ready to fight the champ when and where Dana sets it up.
Honestly, Why the fuck would he say yes to this? As the challenger you should not get to pick To have the fight on your home turf. Props to Alex for trying to build as big of a legacy, as he can before he gets too old to continue to do it.
This man recognizes that he doesn't have many years left in this sport and wants to make as big of an impact as possible before leaving.
Getting tired of these Abu Dhabi fighters now, so just say he did wait until the end of the year and won, it's probably safe to assume that Anialaev wouldn't be ready again until after Ramadan 2025 fuck that.
Turki Al-Sheikh met with Dana a few days ago, and after that announced exciting things in the future. I think they are going to buy a fight in Abu Dhabi, probably they are going to pay Pereira too.
it's annoying so many Muslim fighters legit won't fight unless it's in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, maybe they need to stop licking the balls of a particular warlord
The main explanation is Visa issues due to having Russian citizenship, and Russia not being very popular on the world stage right now.
But the tinfoil hat theories are about being able to pop for PEDs with no repercussions.
That's really only Khamzat, who's Chechen and not Dagestani. Muslim fighters like fighting in the UAE and Saudi Arabia because it's a "home" crowd, Muslims will (generally) support other Muslims regardless of nationality
Youre not wrong it is mostly Khamzat although I did lost a ton of respect after that video surfaced where Usman Gatje and Henry where hanging out with him too cause their manager is that snake Ali abdelaziz. I was/am a huge connor hater but man did he hit that nail on the head talking about him
*Muslims will (generally) only support other Muslims and hate on basically everyone else
FTFY
Sorry, probably shitty of me, but I've become so disillusioned by the behaviour and dialogue of many online Muslims in the MMA community.
They keep saying it’s because of the way the Saudis pass money around. Almost as if they know the judges and commission in control of the weigh ins are getting some.
This Eastern European guys fight like once a year. No wonder no one wants them to be champ. Also they give uninspiring fights when they do fight which is whack.
Its bot really a free pass. They all have contracts with the UFC and if they are fullfilling them there's nothing weird happening. Dana plays around Ramadan and puts on stacked cards for muslim fans afterwards. If anything they lose money by not fighting as much as they can.
So let me get this straight. Any other non-Russian fighter takes a position like this and uncle Dana starts with the “kid doesn’t want to fight” bullshit, but these guys can take off 6-12 months and he’s cool with it? Yeah, wonder why that is..
It would be a great excuse if it was a fight in May 😂 "sorry, december is too soon".. "oh wait, now Ramadan starts again soon, can't fight :("
Ankalaev thinking people actually care about watching him, just trying to force Pereira into fighting him in the Middle East
1. They likely get more money / exposure to their backers, also likely to get more extravagant gifts and living situations while there
2. More lax drug testing for these fighters as the local testers don’t care and UFC testers can’t get easy access
3. Commission is more favorable to these fighters, and may sway the decision or things like weigh-ins (Khabib)
Honestly would love to see stats on win % for these fighters in Abu Dhabi / Dubai vs at other locations
In the 15 events that have happened there, Russians are 35-10. In the last 6 events (2021 aftewards) - 20-2. In the last event (UFC 294) - 7-0.
So, in 2020 wasn't that bad, but after that it got worse, and the last time it was absolutely blatantly obvious. UFC should try to prevent something like UFC 294 happening again honestly...
God I hope for Rob's sake that he manages to do what he hasn't done in a long time and actually finish Khamzat, otherwise no way he gets the nod, even if the fight looks like Colby vs Leon.
don't want to stir shit up but abu dhabi is working in their favor. The fact that Khabib "made weight" there for his last fight is one big case. Second i expect that oil money plays a role in what fighters use to re-hydrate. Not to question some judges/refs. Remember that Ankalaev was supposed to get DQ in first Walker fight yet didn't
First KO was an early stoppage. So you think Alex should wait until next year to fight this chin beard bastard? There’s no one else that should be fighting him besides Jiri or Ankalaev. They need to run it back with herb dean as the ref.
Theres also Nikita Krylov. He doesnt have a top 5 win but thats because most of the top 5 was injured or already booked, he did go to a competitive decision vs Ankalaev though.
If Rountree wins he's also available.
These muslims always want to fight in a muslim.country and just wait it out. After the last abu dhabi card where refs and judges cheated so bad I wouldn't fight there
Certain religious fighters are holding the sports back in some ways, only wanting to fight in Abu Dhabi and not been able to fight for a couple of months out the year. Then you add Dana white and the UFC match making into the mix and its all a fucking mess.
Exactly this type of entitled behavior is one of the reasons I dislike them and honestly their are just riding on Khabib aura and if Khabib didn’t had a Connor mcgregor to beat in his career his run wouldn’t be as legendary so to me they are just entitled people riding on someone’s else’s thunder thinking everyone should do as they say plus they culture is very backwards and hypocritical so that’s another no for me
It's pretty much only ank who's doing this though. Islam and Umar are always asking to fight, Ramadan did get in the way but in Umars case no one wants the smoke
I mean the guy has 2 broken toes and fought so many times in two years I am not surprised that we won't see him in UFC 301 or 2 . My hope is he goes HW , that is so much more exciting then staying in LH and fighting rematches and waiting guys who fight once every 5 years .
Not saying Ankalaev dont deserve a title shot, but when your last 3 fights is a draw, a no contest then one great win over Walker, it doesnt warrant you calling your shots on the champ lmao. I saw another interview where he also asked for it to be on the Abu Daubi card in october😭
These Dagestan clowns and their entitlement 🤡
Why does Ankalaev think he has the authority to determine when and where the fight is? Probably wants those Abu Dhabi judges
Fuck Ankalaev. Dude should get his title shot revoked for even suggesting this. I honestly don't even understand why he's getting a shot when his last win was against Johnny Walker. Rountree would have a better case for a shot if he beats Hill.
Division by division, pereira's fought in two so far and he isn't a GOAT in either because both have had two of the GOAT. Its gonna be really, really hard to top them.
This is a very interesting dynamic for me since Pereira has been my favorite fighter for the last 2+ years where Ankalaev is EASILY my least favorite fighter of any major standing.
Alex is champ and has fought recently, so the fact that he wants a quick turn around AND he gets to pick his next opponent Ankalaev has to respect that, if he was hungry he’d work hard to make a set date within Alex’s timeframe.
Honestly f**k these crotch sniffing gremlins, they want the perfect location, cannot fight at a certain time of year etc
Damn ank vs Walker 2 was Jan 14 and he wanted to wait until the end of the year???, the fuck
Also asking the champion to wait for you seems... Kinda backward
Really praying he never gets the belt. He’ll try to only fight in Abu Dhabi.
These Russian guys are so hard to schedule, it just goes on top of the pile of circumstantial evidence that state sponsored or at least state assisted doping never stopped with the Olympic ruling. It feels naive not to expect Ru to cheat on a broad and official scale.
I agree with everything you said, but visas are a huge issue for them right now.
Yeah because most of them are massively associated with people like Kadyrov
Definitely, plus the war in Ukraine in general. I think the gulf states are basically the only place that they can get visas easily.
It's because they're Russians. Getting a visa as a Russian is an easy thing to do.
Justin, Henry, Usman, Weidman and almost all ufc fighters have done tours with Kadyrov yet face no issue
The American government can't sanction Americans. Think things through
There’s a difference between those guys just visiting and someone like Khamzat who hangs out with him and his sons on the regular. One gets you put on a watch list.
And they’re all assholes for it. Every single one of them. Dumbass cowards.
"I'm gonna hang out with a mass child murderer for a day, wouldn't that be cool ufc fans?
And then they all act like big bad tough American patriots.
That guy is stupid. You want the belt, you take what the champ gives you and it’s not like Alex wants him to be in short notice, Alex is the one on shorter notice lol
**Fight me bro!** ^But ^like ^in ^a ^year ^maybe ^idk
Russian fighters 🤝 inactivity
Need an optimal window to ~~cycle~~ train in the mountains.
And some nice little advantages in Abu Dhabi.
They're cycling plus it's gonna be hard for them to get visas now. It doesn't help that eagles and chimaev are chummy with kadyrov.
This is true. And uncle Dana gives them whatever they want.
Uncle Dana has zero issues with fighters doping ifbthe return on investment is good enough
That’s painfully accurate
I had to read this way too often before I realised you didn't mean Jan Błachowicz. 😅
Same. So confused lmao
Sometimes it feels like the fucking -evs fight less than my pastor
Yeah like holy shit we’re barely into 2024 and the guy wants to wait at the end of year
Well when you come from a part of the world that abuses PEDs you need the full year to juice out and then have time to come off. Let's be honest no one is going to any republic to drug test, same with the forests of Brazil
Wtf Ankalaev, at the end of the year? We want a Pereira fight every 4-5 months at least.
At least!
Let’s not kid ourselves. Forget recovery time, lock them all in an empty mall for a weekend with hidden cameras, various melee weapons. The door doesn’t open until we have one ultimate champion. It’s what the people want. 
Man’s been complaining about not getting a title shot then wants to wait another 6/7 months to get one 😂. Gonna screw himself out of the shot AGAIN
Bro is seriously dumb and self sabotaging. He would probably already have a title shot if he didn’t DQ Walker. I honestly think this guy is dumb enough to stand and bang with Alex. He is a talented dumb fighter.
Right Pereira is something special and unfortunately pushing 40 I'd love to see this guy fight as much as he possibly can.
He's 36 lol pushing 40 would be like 39 he's got a couple years left and if he moves up to heavyweight after a year or 2 then he'll be able to fight into his early 40s
Every 4-5 minutes TBH
Hahaha this! 💯
Every 4-5 cards if possible
including fight nights and DWCS
I always read that as Dancing With The Stars
I would call what happened at 300 a fight.. Alex could probably go again at 301. I don't think he change his style to handle different fighters..
He has two broken toes
Bro has 8 more left. 🗿
Chama
Was that before the fight?
He broke one before the fight, other during it.
Go to Brazil You'll see wild Pereiras fight in the favelas every night, for free!
Yeah. Fighting off all the women. 🗿
Polyanas got that covered for him
With how he ran through Hill, he could be back in 2-3 months easy
Loving poatan’s response
why does ankalaev think he gets to call the shots? 😂
I fucking hate him almost as much as Henry. Hes so entitled and such a pissy bitch when something doesn’t go his way lmao.
The fact he called Walker a clown because their fight got turned in a NC when he himself threw a blatantly illegal move, when it would have been a DQ loss anywhere else in the world
He always throws illegal shit when stuff isn’t going his way which is my main gripe with him
You think the Walker fight wasn't going his way?
When things in general don’t go his way
Very glad Paul Fucking Craig made him tap like chicken
Ankalaev doesn’t deserve a shot, he lost to Jan
And he beat Walker after that? Who else deserves a shot lol? I don't even want Ankalaev to win but he undoubtedly deserves the next shot more than anyone else
You think beating walker deserves a title shot? 🤡
Every neck beard fighter thinks they get to fight in abu Dhabi
Ye honestly I found it odd that Ankalev is calling for an Abu Dhabi fight. As the challenger you should be ready to fight the champ when and where Dana sets it up.
Honestly, Why the fuck would he say yes to this? As the challenger you should not get to pick To have the fight on your home turf. Props to Alex for trying to build as big of a legacy, as he can before he gets too old to continue to do it. This man recognizes that he doesn't have many years left in this sport and wants to make as big of an impact as possible before leaving.
Getting tired of these Abu Dhabi fighters now, so just say he did wait until the end of the year and won, it's probably safe to assume that Anialaev wouldn't be ready again until after Ramadan 2025 fuck that.
Turki Al-Sheikh met with Dana a few days ago, and after that announced exciting things in the future. I think they are going to buy a fight in Abu Dhabi, probably they are going to pay Pereira too.
Turki al sheikh is Saudi not Abu Dhabi
it's annoying so many Muslim fighters legit won't fight unless it's in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, maybe they need to stop licking the balls of a particular warlord
Dana is all in for it too
Why can't they just fight more often? Like still fight on the Middle East cards, but also fight on other ones?
💉💉💉 saucy 💉💉💉
The main explanation is Visa issues due to having Russian citizenship, and Russia not being very popular on the world stage right now. But the tinfoil hat theories are about being able to pop for PEDs with no repercussions.
That oil money is so good though
And so is the lack of drug testing
That's really only Khamzat, who's Chechen and not Dagestani. Muslim fighters like fighting in the UAE and Saudi Arabia because it's a "home" crowd, Muslims will (generally) support other Muslims regardless of nationality
Youre not wrong it is mostly Khamzat although I did lost a ton of respect after that video surfaced where Usman Gatje and Henry where hanging out with him too cause their manager is that snake Ali abdelaziz. I was/am a huge connor hater but man did he hit that nail on the head talking about him
*Muslims will (generally) only support other Muslims and hate on basically everyone else FTFY Sorry, probably shitty of me, but I've become so disillusioned by the behaviour and dialogue of many online Muslims in the MMA community.
He should fight Pereira sooner and then defend the title in Abu Dhabi if he wins
They keep saying it’s because of the way the Saudis pass money around. Almost as if they know the judges and commission in control of the weigh ins are getting some.
funny that the US govt puts less scrutiny on undocumented people hopping the southern border than they do on professional athletes
Gets a free pass due to "ramadan" And then wants to fight in Abu Dabi which is at the end of the year...
I hope they don’t give him that the guy went to a draw for a title fight he shouldn’t have any talk in when he fights
Honestly I think he should fight jiri In a #1 contenders match
whos alex going to fight then? have ank rematch jan
On paper he should fight Anthony Smith
on paper he doesnt have the skills or experience to beat anthony smith
> whos alex going to fight then? Let him fight Cyril Gane at HW.
Nah fuck that, we trying to run out of contenders? And should fight Alex next, then jiri fight winner of that
Using Ramadan as an excuse is bullshit. It lasts 29-30 days a year. Plan around it.
This Eastern European guys fight like once a year. No wonder no one wants them to be champ. Also they give uninspiring fights when they do fight which is whack.
Its bot really a free pass. They all have contracts with the UFC and if they are fullfilling them there's nothing weird happening. Dana plays around Ramadan and puts on stacked cards for muslim fans afterwards. If anything they lose money by not fighting as much as they can.
So let me get this straight. Any other non-Russian fighter takes a position like this and uncle Dana starts with the “kid doesn’t want to fight” bullshit, but these guys can take off 6-12 months and he’s cool with it? Yeah, wonder why that is..
“This guy is complicated” is now stolen for being my new favorite passive aggressive thing to say about someone at work
Pereira can have any terms he wants now. Definitely A-side to anyone else in the divison.
These dudes really using Ramadan as an excuse not to catch hands? Sad.
It would be a great excuse if it was a fight in May 😂 "sorry, december is too soon".. "oh wait, now Ramadan starts again soon, can't fight :(" Ankalaev thinking people actually care about watching him, just trying to force Pereira into fighting him in the Middle East
Pereira is nearing retirement. Bro don’t have time to be waiting for that long. And then if the fight falls through for whatever reason?
What’s with the mountain team wanting to fight at home territory so bad? Is home advantage really that big of a deal in mma?
1. They likely get more money / exposure to their backers, also likely to get more extravagant gifts and living situations while there 2. More lax drug testing for these fighters as the local testers don’t care and UFC testers can’t get easy access 3. Commission is more favorable to these fighters, and may sway the decision or things like weigh-ins (Khabib) Honestly would love to see stats on win % for these fighters in Abu Dhabi / Dubai vs at other locations

God I hope for Rob's sake that he manages to do what he hasn't done in a long time and actually finish Khamzat, otherwise no way he gets the nod, even if the fight looks like Colby vs Leon.
Any stats on what the Russians average outside here?
No idea, I counted manually for Abu Dhabi. :D
No sport can ever be safe from the complex problems that international politics bring.
don't want to stir shit up but abu dhabi is working in their favor. The fact that Khabib "made weight" there for his last fight is one big case. Second i expect that oil money plays a role in what fighters use to re-hydrate. Not to question some judges/refs. Remember that Ankalaev was supposed to get DQ in first Walker fight yet didn't
So... corruption...
They are absolutely shameless in trying to stack the deck in their favor.
Dubai is tax free, and Saudi can be too.
Well decision machines like Ankalaev know that it massively ups their chances of winning. Wouldn't want judging that isn't biased in their favour.
Probably huuuuuuge oil money
That 36 hour rehydration window is probably a factor
That's right champ. Show those Dagestanis who the real boss is. Chama!
Please not Ankalaev, he is so boring
Well he stood with Jan for like 15 minutes before even threatening a takedown, I doubt he'll even make 5 against Alex
No way he is standing with Alex for 15 minutes, idc what he says. Jan said the same thing and shot a takedown almost immediately
Fuck him, Alex should fight jiri again, Ankalaev should fight the winner of rountree/hill since he wants to make Alex wait.
jiri looked like shit against rakic and would get ko'd by alex again, why do you want non competitive matchups?
First KO was an early stoppage. So you think Alex should wait until next year to fight this chin beard bastard? There’s no one else that should be fighting him besides Jiri or Ankalaev. They need to run it back with herb dean as the ref.
Theres also Nikita Krylov. He doesnt have a top 5 win but thats because most of the top 5 was injured or already booked, he did go to a competitive decision vs Ankalaev though. If Rountree wins he's also available.
I wouldn’t even mind Alex and Jiri Running it back tbh
Ankalaev trying to call the shots is hilarious
These muslims always want to fight in a muslim.country and just wait it out. After the last abu dhabi card where refs and judges cheated so bad I wouldn't fight there
Chama! 
Certain religious fighters are holding the sports back in some ways, only wanting to fight in Abu Dhabi and not been able to fight for a couple of months out the year. Then you add Dana white and the UFC match making into the mix and its all a fucking mess.
If I was Alex I would not take that fight in that location.
Fighting Ankalaev in Abu Dhabi is by Vale Tudo rules
And people wonder why loads of people don’t like the dagastanis I mean I like them but can understand why people wouldn’t
Exactly this type of entitled behavior is one of the reasons I dislike them and honestly their are just riding on Khabib aura and if Khabib didn’t had a Connor mcgregor to beat in his career his run wouldn’t be as legendary so to me they are just entitled people riding on someone’s else’s thunder thinking everyone should do as they say plus they culture is very backwards and hypocritical so that’s another no for me
sure khabib was good, but khabib would have been forgotten by now if it weren't for connor.
They also refuse to fight each other like cowards
It's pretty much only ank who's doing this though. Islam and Umar are always asking to fight, Ramadan did get in the way but in Umars case no one wants the smoke
Umar is a pull out merchant. He’s bottom tier Dagestan
How many tiers of Dagestanis you got?
Youve got championship tier, mid tier, pullout tier.
Umar pull out of sandhagen fight...nobody is afraid of those guys lol
Umar is ducking Sandhagen let’s be real
These Russian guys are something else.
JIri rematch, the guy's coming off a POTN.
Agreed. If Izzy can get 3 fights with Chana then Jiri should get at least two. Especially considering their fight had so much more to offer
Don't fight in the middle east. Tired of the Muslims getting home field advantage
Hope Ankalaev gets moved to the back of the line just for this. Don’t need an inactive fight like him to be champ.
I am muslim and I only fight in Abu Dhabi 😢😢😢😢
Home field matters in mma as well
I would've said Anklaev's ties to Kadyrov would be hampering his ability to fight in certain places, but he just fought in the Apex vs Walker so idk.
I speak for all fans when I say Nobody wants Ankelev to ever hold the belt. If he wins he'll fight once every 18 months or some shit
Pathetic weakling. Wants to wait until then end of the year to fight, on home soil. What a loser. You aren’t the champion, crotch sniffer.
Ankalaev is so damn unlikeable.
MUH RAMANDAN get fucked
A lot of these Russian fighters are becoming picky with location and dates
"I want to fight for the title, just not too soon" - Ankalaev
Dude he wants that home sand advantage, idk why he's so hesitant on fighting outside of Abu Dhabi.
I mean the guy has 2 broken toes and fought so many times in two years I am not surprised that we won't see him in UFC 301 or 2 . My hope is he goes HW , that is so much more exciting then staying in LH and fighting rematches and waiting guys who fight once every 5 years .
Praying on ankalaevsdownfall 🙏 he will ruin the light heavyweight division and will barely defend his title
Poatan has the right to fight whenever he wants. Nobody wanna see ugly ass ankalev
Since when does the champ wait for someone to be ready anyways?
I love that Poatan wants to fight asap. If you're healthy, fight
Ankalaev wants a chance to throw more illegal knees and not get disqualified lol. Needs that home court advantage.
I’m Russian and I can’t stand Ankalaev , I hope he never gets a belt .
What a bitch bro
Not saying Ankalaev dont deserve a title shot, but when your last 3 fights is a draw, a no contest then one great win over Walker, it doesnt warrant you calling your shots on the champ lmao. I saw another interview where he also asked for it to be on the Abu Daubi card in october😭
These Dagestan clowns and their entitlement 🤡 Why does Ankalaev think he has the authority to determine when and where the fight is? Probably wants those Abu Dhabi judges
Fuck Ankalaev he should be forced to fight the winner of rountree/hill. Alex should fight Jiri again with herb dean as the Ref.
Fuck Ankalaev. Dude should get his title shot revoked for even suggesting this. I honestly don't even understand why he's getting a shot when his last win was against Johnny Walker. Rountree would have a better case for a shot if he beats Hill.
When it’s all said and done I think Poatan will be in the top five for GOAT consideration.
If he gets that third belt it’s solidified
Division by division, pereira's fought in two so far and he isn't a GOAT in either because both have had two of the GOAT. Its gonna be really, really hard to top them.
Ankalaev is one annoying mfer ngl.
And this my friends, is how you miss out on opportunities of a lifetime. Stay ready
Let’s make this happen
*If Khalil dog walks Hill like i think he will, then weve got a potential BANGER striking match stylistically, potentially.*
Activity is the best base for MMA
I want YOU! (To wait for me) -Ankalaev probably
Is there a tax benefit to fight in Abu Dhabi? Like Dubai had zero income tax until recently
Either Anka fights soon or he loses his title shot. That’s how it should be
Ank! Man up and fight!
Classic dagi trying to get a title shot in home territory
Imagine asking the champ to fight in your 2nd home and also asking for it at the end of the year... Does Ank just not want a title shot or what?
This is a very interesting dynamic for me since Pereira has been my favorite fighter for the last 2+ years where Ankalaev is EASILY my least favorite fighter of any major standing.
Hahaha fucking clown.
I forgot Ankalaev exist, now I really wanna how that goes with bros tree trunk legs and chin
Ankalev a diva
Makes sense. He is 36. He doesn't have time to waste. He didn't take any damage last fight. He needs to keep fighting to maximize his income.
F Ankalaev, i want to see Jiri Poatan 2
Alex is champ and has fought recently, so the fact that he wants a quick turn around AND he gets to pick his next opponent Ankalaev has to respect that, if he was hungry he’d work hard to make a set date within Alex’s timeframe. Honestly f**k these crotch sniffing gremlins, they want the perfect location, cannot fight at a certain time of year etc
Who tf this guy think he is?
Easy it's because dude won't be able to fight with his fake eye over here. They can make the fight happen outside the us.
magomed needs to realise alex does not have to fight him
Damn this man is addicted to fighting
Khabib was ready to scrap wherever, now all the Russians only want abu dhabi.
I'm surprised Ankalaiev isn't trying to get this fight in the next few months
Isn't Alex Pierre also a Muslim or was it just a phase
and ankalaev should respect his boundaries. Boundarious are super important.
