The fight was already easy for him. The lad made a mistake,is all.OK, but that doesnt address my point at all. Yan was taking the easy route by using an illegal strike. I believe that puts us at an impasse
Aljo should have cut a promo where was auditioning for a Hollywood film.... then at the end break character and hold up the UFC belt
That would have been super trolling
Aljo is subliminally fishing for an underwear sponsor without actually having to say it.He's gone commando

Irony is the most widely misused word of the past 3 years or so. How ironic.It's kind of ironic that MMA fans are the whiniest most trigger sensitive group of sports fans on the planet.
You guys made him do this. I genuinely believe that if Aljo wasn't immediately crucified by the keyboard warriors for not getting up after a vicious illegal knee, he wouldn't have said fuck it and gone with this shtick.
You guys made him do this.
I put respect on anyone's name that makes their living at unarmed combat in a locked cage.I'll put respect on his name if he admits that whole thing was an act.
The fact that people still blame Aljo for Yan being a complete dumbass is mind boggling to me.No sir, I'm saying Aljo took the easy way out because he knew he had no chance of winning that fight.
Anthony Smith could've taken Jon Jones title the same way, but instead did the honorable thing.
That's way too clever for him sir.
Didn't misuse itIrony is the most widely misused word of the past 3 years or so. How ironic.
Why can’t it be both? Yan fucked up throwing an illegal knee. And sterling then embarrassed himself with how he responded to it by clearly acting so he got the outcome he wanted.The fact that people still blame Aljo for Yan being a complete dumbass is mind boggling to me.
Next time how about you don't cheat Petr? Don't cheat next time..... The blame rests solely on Petr Yan. No one else. He fucked the division up by cheating against Aljo and no other narrative is genuine and I personally don't give a rat's ass about Sterling.
In this case it’s fans whining about a fighter showing a lack of grit in the heat of the moment and getting rewarded for it.Didn't misuse it
It's ironic that fans of the most hardcore gritty sport are the most overly sensitive whiners in all of sports fandom
We still have plenty of fighters like that….Damn I miss the days when we had fighters like Wand, Rampage, Cro Cop, Hendo, etc.
Now we have these super corny and annoying weirdos like this guy and O’Malley.
Should have not cheated and just finished Aljo or beat him on the cards and none of this happens. It starts with the cheater, cheating. If they don't cheat, the whole discussion is a moot point.Why can’t it be both? Yan fucked up throwing an illegal knee. And sterling then embarrassed himself with how he responded to it by clearly acting so he got the outcome he wanted.
Again, the jones / smith comparison is spot on. Jones threw an illegal knee. Smith could continue and did.
It’s not just 1 action that matters. It’s both.
Won't stop him from getting smashed by a very pissed off Yan, though.He knows he's got the fight of his life coming up. Why compound the difficulty with a horrible weight cut. Smart if you ask me.
Again, yan made a mistake. I believe he thought that the knee became legal when aljo’s hands came up. He fucked up for sure.Should have not cheated and just finished Aljo or beat him on the cards and none of this happens. It starts with the cheater, cheating. If they don't cheat, the whole discussion is a moot point.
100% Yan's fault. Aljo was just lame and pretending to be hurt more than he was but it's still Yan's fault.
