is Alex vs. Rountree the biggest joke in 2024 (2024)

Izzy coming off a comprehensive loss and being given a title shot is worse.

Izzy was a multiple time champ, it was a legacy thing for him. Especially bc the DDP feud was built up. This is way lower quality , does rountree even have a top 5 win? But he's getting a TS?

again , Dustin didn't deserved it but Arman refused to fight and guess he considered 2 moths a short notice. the rest were not able and Dustin got the shot but even though Dustin was not #8
Stipe vs Jones already mentioned to you before.but it is really crazy that you see this worse than Rountree
Erceg was another joke for me,where UFC f*cked up
Izzy vs DDP is another and even worse example that UFC f*cked up. and I say it again,Izzy vs. DDP is even worse than Alex vs. Rountree. here I totally agree with you and I did mention many times that Izzy shall fight Khamzat or any other fighter first.

finalle, they wasted Ankalaevs time by letting him fighting Cutelaba twice , Walker twice.
Ankalaev never had the privilege that Alex had.
UFC is trying very hard to waste Ankalaevs time. Ank. should fight Alex instead of Jan for the contender

Armen refused the fight lmfao I'm done

Okay

Ankalaev refused the fight

see how easy that was?

so much of what you're saying is completely misuguided. So what if rountree is number 8?

jiri is 1, alex has beat him twice
Magomed is fighting rakic 2 and 5
Alex has a KO win over 3
Alex has a Decision win over 4
6 hasn't been seen or heard from in a year
7 just bounced back with a win against johnny walker.

leaving 8 who is on a 5 fight winstreak.. It's not a hard concept to grasp

it's not even factually true at all.

Izzy already had his title fight rematch against alex and won. He had his rematch ticket and cashed it. if he had a theoretical second title rematch ticket, why'd he not cash it against strickland?

Always been an Izzy fan, but he waited for strickland to lose so he could get back in the mix. Rematching strickland was an option that he was opposed to.

Also, Islam did not have a top 5 win before getting a TS, and he's p4p no.1. Just saying.

I think people are more mad that Ankalaev isnt fighting for the title next. But I am okay with this matchup if that fight is next. I think not making that fight could be an huge waste.

If Rountree actually upsets Alex, I think that would be the worse outcome for the future of the Alex vs Ank matchup. If this is an exciting fight with Alex coming out on top and going for Ank next I am totally fine with this one.

how dare u use logic and true facts against a well known DDR (Dagi Dick Rider)?

This is so unfair, leave him alone and dont point out obvious facts he and his buddehs actively ignore to be able to push their narrative.

Thank you!

why is it that hard for you to understand ?

yes, Arman did refuse to fight Islam, he said it is short notice for him.

as you very well mentioned above , Ankalaev is fighting Rakic. what I'am saying is , Ankalaev should fight Alex and not Rakic.
don't act like Ankalaev is already booked and UFC had no other option than Rountree.
UFC should book Ankalev vs. Alex instead of Rountree

Agreed. People get so entangled in their expectations that they can't handle reality.

yup
plus, social media made it easier to unite these people. these guys find strenght in numbers and their opinions become the absolute truth

That’s what happens when Pereira beats a bunch of former champs and the neckbeard declines twice.

Rountree is being sold short. He’s on a 5 fight win streak against guys Johnny Walker’s level while Anklaev is 1-1 and only beat Johnny Walker. Plus he just had a title shot and it was awful.

Not saying Ank doesn’t deserve the fight but if he wasn’t a neckbeard, nobody would give a sh*t. He should shut up and sign a contract instead of trying to be a shot caller

legedema said:

lol at comparing and even saying that Stipe vs. Jones and Dustin was worse.
Rountree is #8 and he was not next in line.
nothing makes sense here

Who was next in line if not Khalil seeing how Hill is hurt sir?

Anka should definitely be the guy that's next I get that.
But after him its pretty much open.
