Im torn on Aljo... as a just bleed fan I obviously wanted him to continue the fight and give us a show. He would have no doubt lost that fight. He was already losing then took a powerful knee to the head while downed so if he had continued i'd give him a 1 in 50 chance of winning that fight.
But from an intelligent perspective he made the right move. You should never reward your opponent for fouling you by continuing the fight if your goal is to win or at least avoid losing. Doing what he did bought him an automatic rematch where if he had just laid down and died in the ring for us just bleed fans, he'd be back to the bottom. Look at Anthony Lionheart, he took the foul like a man, got his ass whooped the rest of the fight and people still dont respect him very much. At least Aljo has the belt and a guaranteed rematch\payday in his future. Smart business move, bad short term move for popularity but imagine if he's improving a lot and comes back and whoops Yan's ass. The fans will immediately flock back to him.
