Media Petr Yan called a rat in a YouTube video

[biscuitsbrah]

I personally am a big fan of Yan and his antics, he’s like the perfect bad guy to me. The way he knee’d aljo and then hopped around when the decision was read like he won. Or when he faked Merab out with the glove touch is hilarious. Never really thought of him as a dirty fighter but I guess I was blinded by being a fanboy lol



Who did better against Merab? Cejudo or Yan?

Always weird to me how sherdoggers hate on Aljo who took the win by taking advantage of Yan's stupidity, but also think Anthony Smith is stupid for not doing the same to Jon Jones.

As for Yan I always like him, but I dont think he can ever reach the top again.

The guy who makes the vids is basically writing short stories based of small interactions. He is just over characterizing stuff and people for entertainement purposes. Like a show or tv program would.

That's a gay ass video.

Maybe, just maybe, those aren't the same sherdoggers.

It's so easy to make someone believe something these days. An entire generation whose creed is based on Tiktok and YouTube shorts.

Show me an example of one sherdogger that thinks this way. Just one. Or is it just a scenario you have constructed inside your head?

Do you keep track of these posters and their stances on these two matters? Or how do you know they are the same people?

Yeah I know it’s just a summary for people unfamiliar with the mma world. I just liked the video for the highlights and summary, not really his interpretation/story. Obviously a little clickbaity to get engagement. But I think maybe some people do feel this way about Yan?

Damn everyone cooking this guy for his generalization

Him being injured until the last quarter of the year or early 2025 is gonna be another big set back for him, bantamweight is just really competitive at the top right now.
Aljo going up sort of helps him in some ways and him having a banger with O'Malley could potentially push a rematch, but he also just broke a three fight skid.

I think that requires another two very good wins before title talks start brewing again, a lot easier said than done for sure.

War Yan

I dont think Yan is a cheat but it felt like he is in the wrong sport. Boxing would be best for him.

 

[Ballsaque]

I said what I said. Not gonna waste my time finding same posters for you unimportant randos lol.


Some of them are the same definitely. But I am not gonna bother trying to find them.

Ah so it was something you made up. Thought so.

I'd call it more like a weird strawman, but I see it on this forum a lot for some reason. "Yo these people has total double standards they say this in this situation but not that one". Then you ask them to actually show an example of this, but can't... I wonder if it's just like a mental short cut because they want to make a point but are unable to.

Try to watch for it on this forum, it happens surprisingly often, it's quite interesting

Jose Aldo. Mereb couldn't get him down even once.

 

[Krimzon]

Yan is just a mean spirited dude, I enjoy watching it.

i found it baffling though, that ppl were saying he's got the best hands in the UFC though a few years back. BC there are better candidates, not that he was bad

 

[HHJ]

Yea Petr Yan's meanness is refreshing.

The guy loves his job.

No hugs and high fives from this motherfucker.

While I wouldn't describe myself as objective due to Aljo being friends with a former wrestling coach (I'm always "home team,") the fact of the matter is that the illegal knee was significant in a fight in which Aljo had plenty of time (no matter how realistic) to come back.

We've seen a few times when fighters who have been fouled opt (or are essentially "forced") to continue at a disadvantage due to MMA scoring rules, bad decisions by refs (or just poor reffing,) even just a plain complacency regarding the fight changing dynamics that result due to certain fouls.

Also (and fact check me if I'm wrong,) didn't Yan's first loss <split decision> come due to his lack of control and being docked a point for a silly foul?
I've always argued that he seems to lack control which shouldn't become a liability for his opponents in a controlled setting.

That said, I'd choose that dude to have my back in a street fight. And I'll watch him and cheer for the badass way that he fights (minus fouls) every time he's on.



**Also, Aljo's from LI and has a ton of Americans cheering against him for a Russian?
F--ing whores!
