Taking bets, how long does Aljo stay champ?

[Fess]

I depends on how soon the Yan rematch will occur.

 

[Dorkman]

If he rematches Yan for his first defense like he should, I would imagine until then.

 

[bluestwhale]

Anyone else wonder how loud the commentators were speaking during the knee incident? Was their commentary audible in the octagon?

I'm just picturing the whole incident, Aljo concussed on the floor starting up. Dead silence in the PI. And you can hear Joe yelling out, illegal knee, his knee was down, his hands were down. Then DC "this could lead to a disqualification. Hey this is Jones Anthony Smith, but Smith took the high road. What will Aljo do?" Their voices just booming out for everyone to hear.

I remember in a previous card a fighter was literally reacting to Bispings commentary during the fight because it was so quiet. Would be interesting to know.

Based on the first fight I have to assume Petr takes the strap back in the next fight. That said, I will laugh my ass off for days at the salt on this forum if Aljo wins clean in the rematch.

 

[the fight game]

As soon as he rematches Yan imo.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

Yan 1st or 2nd round probably

Hope he comes out with something to prove and really goes after Aljo. I want to see a firefight

We're stuck with that clown / paper champ 12 months+

According to the UFC rankings, Peter Yan is still champion.

Atleast Aljo has the picture right

Trolling at it's finest

It might of been a factor no doubt. But it was the 4-5 round and by then they’re tired and tunnel visioned so I don’t know how that would/could effect it.

The UFC Brass ain’t even hiding their contempt.

He'll be champ until Yan gets his hands on Aljo again.

If Yan can't beat that bum in the rematch, I'll quit Sherdog,


Fuck it, I'll add it to my signature, so people can call me out on my bullshit, if I don't comply.

 

[The Rivv]

One thing to note. Yan is apparently way more popular than I imagined. He has a massive Russian following and they came out in full force to Aljo’s Twitter and Instagram pages. Red Man must be fuming even more because Aljo doesn’t seem nearly as popular.

No bias whatsoever here... naw I’m just playing I think he wins the rematch, unless Aljo makes some monster adjustments. If he does I’ll be a fan of AJS and very impressed but I don’t see it happening as of yet.

 

[IMPmmath]

Who you pick him against? I’d say since he already took out Sandhagan by finishing him I’d pick him as the favourite. Haven’t seen what TJ looks like yet so I’ll reserve judgment. And I think he could sub Cody if he doesn’t stand and bang.

I think he bests Yan next time and Cejudo as well.

 

[usernamee]

Aljo most likely sleeps Yan in the rematch.

 

[HHJ]

Dana knows the rematch is money. So that's what we will see.

 

[svmr_db]

Ok follow up question. If Aljo is to keep his title, what adjustments do we think he should make in either a rematch, or against a new opponent that studies the Yan fight to exploit weaknesses?

I'd say for starters that Aljo should throw his strikes with intent behind them, not like the 100 pitty patter punches he threw in the first round.

He needs to not keep ending up out of position. He kept giving his back to Yan,and getting tripped down. Yan never bit on going to the ground with him so whatever they were trying to do w that did not pay off at all

 

[Atomic 187]

You really think sponsors are going to be lining up to offer Sterling their money right now?

Goodies headache powders

Sign the contract

 

[DoctorDeelon]

How long do you predict Aljo stays champion? Does he make a successful title reign? Does he get taken out by another Bantamweight? Does he get a rematch with Yan, and if he does can he make the adjustments to retain his title?


Personal opinion: he can probably retain the belt against Sandhagan and Cruz, but I think Yan smashes him in a rematch, probably in more brutal fashion because Yan is pissed.

Your thoughts?

I think Yan finishes him next time, and I also think Cejudo whips his ass if he chooses to come back.
