Since you are so confident you will win, $200,000 to the winners charity of choice. Win or lose this will help those in need. It’s in your hands @AliAbdelaziz00 @AnkalaevM

Due to Ankalaev’s religious beliefs, he cannot accept the bet, but he did have this to offer in response.

“Chama is a dead man walking. I’m going to drown this man.”
