Sterling was absolutely pathetic

[The Chosen]

TS and anyone sharing his opinion: delusional.

The only thing delusional is thinking Sterling is a real champ

 

[DS]

Thought Sterling did well. He has next to zero power, but made Yan work and barely let him set anything up. He had Yan dogshit tired.

Hard to consider him a real Champ though.

 

[Askren’s chin]

He had a serious nervous energy to him. Falling over himself, not pacing himself properly, throwing wild flashy shit when he was already slowing down etc etc. He was very lucky that Yan gave him that out.

Yea he put a pace he couldn’t keep against a guy who doesn’t tire and was constantly off balance. He kneeds to go back to the drawing board.

 

[Yellowcardeeo]

Because this is a sport. Not some street fight on the streets of Moscow.

We should petition to rename the UFC to the UWC - Ultimate Wrestling Championship..

 

[Kid Quick]

Yes. Because in whatever way fans try to twist it they won it in the cage and wasn’t handed to them after being beaten from post to post. Same goes for any fluke or one off wins like.

Bisping?

 

[Kid Quick]

Maybe if Yan hadn't cheated none of this wouldn't have happened. Losing the title seems like a good punishment, clearly Aljo was rocked and if it continued he would have got KO'd.

He was on his way to getting KO'ed anyway.

 

[P0rkchop]

Should be a no contest. You don’t deserve to win a belt when you get knocked out AND you’re losing on the score cards

 

[Pain4Pain]

Kind of reminds me of the Weidman vs Mousasi ending, I guess Serra Longo teach their fighters to milk the rules.

That move was dirty on Yan’s part, but I just don’t see why he didn’t keep one hand on his head and pummel him with hooks with the other. Aljo survived Yan’s power because he was moving with the shots, and in this position he had nowhere to go

 

[capnlarge]

Imagine for a second that was a legal strike. You don't take 10 minutes to decide the fight is over, bring in the doctor, all that silly shit. I think Mark Smith didn't want the responsibility of handing over the world title on a DQ. In reality, that should've been a DQ right away without putting so much of it on Sterling

Based on Sterling's mannerisms and the fact he was crying, I believe he thought he had lost and he was surprised when they put the belt on him

 

[13Seconds]

Biggest paper champ ever
He just uploaded a pic on twitter with the belt on lmao he should be cut from the ufc he was the #1 contender and looked like not even top 100
Yan will torture him in the rematch now even more

Aljo making Sherdoggers cry is awesome.

 

[ImLovinIt]

Got his fucking ass whooped, spent half the fight panic wrestling and throwing wild strikes. As soon as he found a way out because he was going to get killed in there he did some very bad acting saying that he's "dizzy" while he was just lying down panting on the canvas like a bitch. Absolutely pathetic and disgraceful and terrible decision of the UFC.

How is that even a downed strike? He was clearly standing up. Fucking stupid.

clearly standing up? Might want to get your eyes checked.

 

[thiagoop]

I am not a Yan fan

But I am a Sterling hater now, fucking pathetic ending to a tittle fight, ridiculous

 

[CrocopHKtotheballs]

Maybe if Yan hadn't cheated none of this wouldn't have happened. Losing the title seems like a good punishment, clearly Aljo was rocked and if it continued he would have got KO'd.

So what, yan was destroying sterling prior to the knee. Who wants to see a rematch when they know sterling had absolutely nothing going against yan. Hes going to be a huge underdog coming into the rematch as the champ and if he loses again hes basically done.

 

[LetThemBleed]

Yes. Because in whatever way fans try to twist it they won it in the cage and wasn’t handed to them after being beaten from post to post. Same goes for any fluke or one off wins like.

Pillar to post? A bit revisionist given one judge had him ahead and the other 2 judges both gave him a round Yan was clearly winning but post to post seems excessive. GDR did her best work against Holm after the bell, twice, wasn't docked a point for blatant cheating and still won a highly controversial decision, add on top of that she took the fight with Holm knowing full well she was never going to fight Cyborg if she won. Only way Aljo can get into that convo is if he flat out refuses a rematch with Yan and either chases a money fight like TJ or Cejduo or changes weight class.

 

[Flying omoplata]

man you are just the biggest arse lets get you hit by a knee like that then you continue

 

[usernamee]

clearly standing up? Might want to get your eyes checked.

I think it may be more of a brain related issue

 

[Kdup]

Lol 'clearly standing up'. Delusional.

I do agree Sterling was acting though. But who gives a fuck? Throwing a knee like that you 100% deserve to get DQ'd.

Was that a headbutt before?

 

[danny23]

Bisping?

No. He won it in the cage by knocking his opponent out. Cleanest win. Wasn’t handed to him because his opponent made a dumb mistake after dominating him.

 

[pseto223]

So what, knees to a downed opponent should be legal now? Fuck that shit. Fighters get one free nut shot and one free eyepoke because of the stupid rules, now add a free knee to the face on a downed opponent. What's next? A free soccer kick? A free headbutt?

Yan screwed up. He paid for it. He absolutely didn't have to even think about attempting that knee. The ref should've called it off a minute after the knee. How is a fighter supposed to continue in such a case? 4th round, getting tired, eating a illegal knee - "Oh, there is a point reduction, let's continue".

 

[wtfisgoingon]

Aljo making Sherdoggers cry is awesome.

Yan making Aljo cry is awesome

 

[BooBoyMan]

Was that a headbutt before?

Too slow to be considered a strike at all, so I guess not.
