Taking bets, how long does Aljo stay champ?

[Fergelmince]

I hope not long considering that dumb 'do

 

[The Rivv]

I think he defends at least 2x

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.

 

[Sad Dad]

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?

You really think Cruz will be anywhere near a belt or top 3 spot after his performance last night? Dude is beyond done

That’s why I said he could be him lol. I only use him because the Bantamweight top 10 is so fucking stacked right now I’d say there’s some people I could see being champ very soon.

And barring any adjustments Aljo makes, I see him being beaten by Yan in a rematch and I’d even say finished in the rematch.

Aljo will lose in the immediate rematch. He looked absolutely silly in there. He has some kinda mental block because he had zero composure in that fight.

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Actually thinking about it UFC fighters don’t get a salary. But that’s not as funny so I’ll ignore it. That said champs probably get better sponsorship allowance or outside fighting promotions. Like Monster Energy, CBD oil, and so on.

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

...you would have to pay me a great sum of money to get in Petr Yan’s bad side and I outweigh him by 50lbs and have 7 inches of hight. He gives of serial killer gives my dude.

Ah okay. aljo looked kinda silly against yan and will def lose the rematch. The performance was very theodoreu-esque I was very surprised by it.

Idk Onnit already coming up with a tear duct and facial bone reconstruction supplement.

I think all these replies have the right focus and the OP has the wrong one: it's a matter of who he fights, not how much time passes.
I'm no oracle, but I don't think it's in his best interest to be asking to fight Cejudo.

 

[bref]

He will be champ until he has to fight Yan.

 

[Dirge]

Hey man champs get paid more than others.

Not necessarily...

Sterlings contact isn't up for renewal. He certainly won't get PPV points either. The only time champs make more money is from an endorsement perspective or if they are a champ when they renegotiate their contract "or" if they are a huge draw before becoming champ and can force the UFC to pay them more.

Sterling doesn't qualify in any of these areas.

Well yeah, I’m not prognosticating it because of time I’m basically asking how many matchups does he get before he gets beaten. Aljo seems like a nice guy, but I’m not expecting a GSP Mighty Mouse or Jones type reign, especially after the circumstances he obtained the belt.

Damn man that’s rough. I guess he doesn’t have as much personality is Izzy, and isn’t an elite gamer like MM to get endorsements from outside companies.

 

[Nuclear Fallout]

They both trained for each other. There's no reason that there isn't an immediate rematch.

 

[Jinx_AA]

He retires now caz his pinnacle is winning a dq

 

[StoneWT]

He needs to go full heel and fight to not lose. Fuck D. White and dedicate each win to his best friend the bald goof. Market himself as the best eva. Get actors to portray the goats and have them praise him as the true goat.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Zero defenses

 

[Chart69r]

I honestly give him a better chance in the rematch. If he's smart, he learns that he can't force the takedowns, and that spinning entries aren't the right move. Focuses on the long pressure striking, and only shoot for reactive double legs.

 

[sdpdude9]

It would be hysterical if he destroys Yan in a rematch after all the shit he’s taken. I’d like to see it just to see Sherdog implode, he’s gotta be the most hated guy on here right now.
