News Triple C apologizes to Aljo

[BEATDOWNS]

Props to Henry for doing that

I have to disagree with almost everything you said here, but to each his own.

I agree with you that I disagree with what dude said. No point in a pissing contest with him though. Petr Yan was on his way to winning comfortably by decision.

He wasn't getting his ass kicked. Yan was landing the better harder strikes. But aljo was winning rounds based on activity. Was likely going to win the 4th (iirc) and be down on 0 of the cards heading into the fifth. Yan did look to be taking over, but let's not completely die to hypocrisy

He was losing, he was slowing down, yan was getting better and stronger

 

[Abazzdeboom]

Triple C would beat them so easily

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

Surprised by the show of maturity by Triple C here.

Aljo was fighting a decent fight, but it's true his pace was way too high. It worked in his favor against Munhoz, but you can't sprint like that in a 5 rounder. I think he has "5 round cardio", but he needs to pace himself better to utilize it over 5 rounds.

The rematch will be interesting if Aljo can make that adjustment and also tighten up his takedown technique. It got sloppier the more tired he got and Yan had beautiful judo technique to capitalize on that.

No shame in Aljo celebrating the win and belt imo. It's a 1 on 1 fight and if your opponent disqualifies themselves then you're the winner by default. No one the former champ can blame but himself. There's 4 ways to win a fight (knockout, submission, decision, or DQ) and Aljo unfortunately managed to pick every fighter's least favorite. That's the sport sometimes.

Good points. I just fear that in a rematch, Yan will *really* be in Sterling's head. . . and to lose that match (..."again"), would kill his spirit for sure. Just a shitty way for this to go all-around. And he's aware of that. Boof, and that acting isn't going to do him any favors with the fans in the long-run.

I think Yan would beat Cejudo, Cejudo's MMA wrestling isn't that good, great takedowns but not so great top control.

His wins over Marlon and Cruz haven't aged well either.

When he doesn't want to wrestle he won't. When he does he will always take people down.

Yan with a high guard will get taken down by CCC. He can also tko or ko him.

 

[kenetics]

You’re right but when has he ever gotten pushback like this before? Usually he says things that are a bit goofier. Ppl just roll their eyes and move on

I see him getting hate all the time regardless. I don't think he cares. I just think just changed his opinion as he thought it through.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Rather articulate and less cringe. Humility suits Henry.

<[analyzed}>

He is a well educated student of the game. Unfortunately he over valued himself when he retired. I think the retirement was staged but then he was like oh wait i guess people don't care as much as i thought they would type of deal. lol

 

[usernamee]

I wonder if his initial thought before going after Aljo was that maybe he could stir up some shit for a potential money fight....

Would prefer him on the commentary over DC & DC

In the least, his brain is in check... albeit cringed.

What the fuck are you on about, man?

He was falling apart in the 4th. He wasn't winning that round at all, and he was going into the next round down on all the cards except one.

Lmao.... Aljo won the first round and that’s it ....he definitely wasn’t going to win round 4 ..he was starting to take a beating

Love our king

Can't hate him for playing the game. It was working out pretty well for him. The retirement was dumb though.

Sterling was in a very tough fight, adrenaline dumped, smashed to the side of the head with a flush knee, confused, etc. As a fan of his I didn't want him to go back out there. The knee seemed to shatter his will to continue. Yan certainly earned his "No Mercy" moniker in that performance at least. I personally don't think Aljo should have even been given the option to continue considering how blatant the foul was. Yan should have probably just been disqualified on the spot. Just my opinion of course. Others would find that much too harsh.

It think while it's possible Sterling may be more intimidated by Yan in a rematch, it may actually work to his advantage. Aljo has a very analytic mind for the game and I have no doubt he will pour over the data from the fight over and over before the rematch. I don't know how much adjusting Yan will do for a rematch considering he probably doesn't feel the need to change much and he's probably right. I think it'll be all on Sterling to effect the outcome of the rematch.

It's not like Yan has got a list of great wins

Cejudo still has better wins at 135 than Yan

Yans best win is the ghost of Aldo, who had 0 wins at 135 when Yan beat him

 

[GrantB13]

Just seems empty to get your ass kicked, then win via dq and hold the belt despite knowing you aren't the best fighter. Most people would feel like a fraud and not celebrate I would think.

I'd probably keep a low profile and look forward to the financial bump from a champion contract but definitely not act like the king of the world. He has to go into his first defense with the same mindset that he's fighting for the title.
