[welcometohavoc]

Regardless its like clockwork that everytime a fighter wins the title they start finding injuries restricting them from fighting

I see it right here!

 

[Dan Torrance]

He's planning to fight in the fall. Fighters get injured and need time to recover. It's normal. Sherdog needs to relax in regards to Aljo.

I thought he said he's taking a year off.

Crack got that baseball hard.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I hate it when this happens with new champs. And it looks a little fishy given the circumstances. But, there’s nothing anybody can do, unless the UFC wants to schedule an interim title fight.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Neck injury...no good. Hope for a speedy recovery.

Lol. He said he'll fight in August, september, or October.

Hell, some champs take more time off than that when they're not injured

 

[NOtSO1G]

Fuck Aljo about to get more white space and return a knee straight to Yan's face.

 

[Osiris3657]

That neck is going to snap due to the whiplash caused by Yan’s fist nuking Sterling’s face

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Neck, shoulder and knee injuries are brutal.

He might not be the same ever again.

Which is bad because he wasnt doing so hot again Yan.

Actually he said

They wouldn't want to see me take a fight until they see everything has fused in my neck correctly. Five months would be ideal, if I heal up really quick.

So what if he doesn't heal real quick and there's a setback? Those 5 months can easily become 6-7-8 or more months.

I doubt we'll see the rematch this year.

 

[ThinkBig500]

Clever photoshop.

he should’ve done this years ago

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Come on guys he really KNEE'ds this surgery.

This seriously isn't good.. needs a long time to recover so the UFC have to strip him of the belt
