Aljamain Sterling shows x-ray of neck injury that is delaying Petr Yan rematch

Hopefully he makes a full a recovery.

In the meantime, Yan vs TJ/Sandhagen winner for interim belt, UFC 265 perhaps. Would be a much better main event than Nunes/Pena.

Winner can fight Aljo in early 2022.

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.

As they obviously should and will, unless Yan demands otherwise. And I'm not sure what leverage Yan really has anyway.
 
Wonder if it actually improves his performance
 
LOL at pushing through the pain to fight for the fans. No, you do it for a paycheck, dork. You don't have any fans.
 
Yeah you were thrown on your head beat up and after the drubbing. You thought the best course of action in a fight was on your knees with a finger on the ground.


The rule is a gaming of the stsyrem. It like you can’t be hit if you’re toes on the fence you’re safe.

this guy isn’t a champion. His best defense in a championship level was on his knees in a fight.

it’s so absurd the unified rules where anybody support this action you may as well fight like a spider if I’m or break dance. On your knees. Or walking like a dog. Is a sound defense.

a finger or knee in the floor is a safe spot. Hell yeah. The ultimate form of combat.


You can shoot all fight and not catch a knee for you’re vulnerable position. You can sit on your knees in front of a guy. And that’s a very safe position. And just recently we’ve seen this bones vs smith and yan vs aljo.

The best form and safety is fighting on your ass or knees with a finger on the floor.

and it’s so absurd mostbfight fans won’t call out how retarded the sport look when you can do these things.

mute like ric flsir putting his leg in the rope to avoid a pin fall.

but 100x more bizarre. As you are sold this is a real fight and you can fight on your ass or knees or touch a finger to the ground.

It’s a huge blackeye for mma. B
 
It’s nearly impossible to duck with a bum neck
 
Neck injuries f*cking suck, since you can basically prevent all limbs completely from moving to take stress away, but it's almost impossible with the neck.

Get well, "champ"

Yan will be waiting.
 
Did people really think he wasnt injured?

it just comes off winning the belt like he did then he's kind of trolling people and then now he decides to get this taken care of and putting himself on the shelf till end of year has people pissed off.

It is what it is though. Yan is the one who fucked up so now he's gotta sit and wait.

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.

Fighters who win a belt by DQ then go partying after the fight then publicly say repeatedly that they won't fight the former champ again despite there being no other contender to fight and then way after the fight suddenly have "serious injuries" while still talking shit on social media and publicly ducking the guy they "beat" by DQ aren't really going to win a lot of fans
 
I know we all like to hate on him, but its not business as usual for every new champ? They all turn into divas who always have lingering injuries that all of the sudden need to be taken care of, even Francis seems uninterested in defending right away...the guy that was desperate to fight before getting the belt, and got out his fight unscratched.
 
How do we definitively know that the horrible symptoms he endured in the octagon weren't a result of this horrific injury that he's soldiered through for all this time but can't any longer now that he's champ?
