Aljamain Sterling was the only winner who didn’t get a octagon interview

[13Seconds]

Why? Dude was waiting for Rogan to get in there but nothing happened. Plenty of finishes on the prelims so time limit couldn't have been a factor.

Did his fight suck that bad? I didn't think it was super exciting but Aljo looked solid imo. Weird.

[biscuitsbrah]

Hahah. They didn’t think he was worth it. Plus he was prelims

 

[mirellale]

Good.

If I thought Bellator would still exist I'd say he'd be in Bellator in 2 years.

Not that its right Sterlings a great fighter I think this might be a "we're going to cut you the first time you lose because you're too expensive" sorta deal.

They needed to keep the four fights in two hours pace. He's the only guy that had one go to decision. It is what it is.

Yeah I’m not reading too much into it. Seemed pretty straightforward

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

They should've let him walk back when he was boasting about how he'd be doing so much better as a gym teacher.

Fuck they better not lol

on a night when the cheap bastard Dana says he's giving out 300k bonuses, Aljo decides he wants to backpack Kattar with no threat of hellbows or chokes

 

[LindyBrah]

I hate that ninja.

 

[pātrēärkē]

Dana has said that they like to keep things moving at a good pace (as far as the broadcast goes) and stoppages provide them with some filler time.

And yes, that fight did suck that bad

He did what he had to do to win, he looked solid but boring this time out.

Maybe moving up to 145 will save him we'll see. But what if he loses to Allen or someone like that?

 

[HatKick]

You answered your own question.

 

[Fact Checker]

He’s just there to do the bare minimum and collect a check at this point.


The trajectory of his boring uneventful career changed with the Yan DQ and it was righted when O’Malley blasted him back to the prelims.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Tyron Woodly is triggered!!

This stood out to me too. There were other wrestle heavy game plans that were exciting (Bo with the choke, Arman with the hellbows)

Aljo decides to be a human backpack for 3 rounds barely throwing a strike. What would he have even said in the post fight interview?

 

[Nabs]

Good. He had the most boring FOTN so there was absolutely nothing to talk about.

Hahah bro he’s not Jon fitch levels of bad. Plus he’s a former champion and I think fans actually like him despite having to wet blanket some guys sometimes.

I’d be really pissed and surprised if they cut him because they pay him too much lmao. I think even outside of the cage he does a decent job of getting a fan base and promoting himself
