On tiptoe! Ankalaev belittles Poatan for indigenous event: 'He lives in Connecticut'

Ankalaev takes advantage of indigenous event to attack: “This guy lives in Connecticut”/Reproduction X

In his provocative attacks against Alex Poatán, Magomed Ankalayev He doesn't lose his breath, his courage or even his reasons for attacking the Brazilian. He loses, perhaps, his limits. In this case, geographical ones. The Russian used the light heavyweight champion's (up to 93kg) residence to set the tone for his latest post on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter), in an air of 'trashtalking'.

“I live in the mountains. This guy lives in Connecticut,” the text says, implying that the fact that Poatan lives in the US state was something minor, unfavorable, or at least inconsistent with his indigenous ancestry.

Buoyed by an incredible year in the UFC, the belt holder in the category fulfills a series of public commitments. Last Sunday (3), the São Paulo native received a new custom headdress from the hands of the shaman chief of the Siratã Mantxó village, Ubiranan Pataxó. The gift will be used in the next battles.

The symbolic act of respect by 'Mãos de Pedra' to the indigenous people triggered a “roller coaster” of reactions in the world of fighting. First, Chael Sonnen posted on 'X': "If you're in trouble and can only choose one person to save you, choose me. But if you can choose two, this guy might come in handy," Sonnen reported.

That was enough to weigh on Ankalaev's mind, and not with a headdress. Just with the will to react. Incidentally, a reaction accompanied by a photo of the fighter on a horse. Yet another reason for the online display to attract attention.

A confrontation between the two is the greatest desire of Magomed Ankalayev currently. The reason is another relevant accessory. The biggest in the UFC: a belt! After winning his last two fights, against Johnny Walker e Aleksandar rakic, the first in the category asked for a fight against the current champion still in the octagon. But the organization's decision on the marriage of the fight... may come on horseback.
