What more does Aljo got to do to be respected??

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Most consecutive UFC BW title defenses

Longest winstreak in BW history

Tied for most win in BW history

UFC world champion

Never gets in trouble outside the cage. Model citizen

But this guy gets boo’d in New Jersey when he is a New Yorker.

There are actual criminals on the UFC roster who are respected more.

A dominant win might have done it. Either Aljo gassed or coasted in the 5th, had him winning 3-2 incidentally but he did nothing in the 5th and it wasn't like he'd dominated up to that point by any means. Another unimpressive outing. Only thing more disappointing was Cejudo, to come back and produce that? Yikes if he is one and done which by the post fight comments sounds like it, he won't be missed much if at all.

Aljo crashed the site

 

[Fatback96]

Every title win has a caveat or was extremely close. The Cejudo win had both.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

if he would have just said, "hey yall, give it up for Cejudo, dudes a warrior and it was a close fight, could have gone either way," it would have done so much better for him. but he can't read a room, doesn't understand how he got there, and is cocky, following close ass fights where the fans and his hometown think he lost. thats it. be more humble. respectful. grateful. its hard for aljo fans to see this, but literally everyone else can see it. hilarious.

I personally thought he looked great. Outstruck Cejudo and neutralized his grappling. Pretty clear cut win from my POV. Not a fan but I definitely respect him as a fighter

 

[MDoza]

Beat Merab.

His title reign is:
-win belt via DQ
-Bogus split decision
-One armed man
-36 yo 125lber coming off 3 year layoff

Now he calls out a guy who has no wrestling and wins via paying off judges. How is any of that going to earn him respect?

People still hold it against him that he won the title by getting blasted by an illegal knee. Then while he’s been getting good wins and building a good resume, he hasn’t done so in the most impressive way which has only fueled the hate and made people call it all into question. I think he deserves more recognition but probably isn’t going to happen.

 

[Eiger]

It makes me cringe how much disrespect he receives.

its about how you carry yourself after being gifted decisions. he's unaware, can't read the room, and only aljo fans are scratching their heads wondering why?

 

[loptyjoe]

Invent time machine
Go back in time and stop fake acting like he was hurt just to end the fight

 

[DjolexMTL]

He's getting booed in his hometown, he's not anywhere close. Not that he should be really.. most of his fights are pretty stale

Based on this, obviously stuff no other fighter does, lol. Aljo just tied the UFC (not Zuffa) BW title defense record. He breaks it against Sugar Shins,and will be amongst the BW GOATS if he isn't already. His resume and accolades are undeniable.

 

[humdizzle]

Because he hasn't made up for the DQ acting win. Everyone who is new to mma will hear about that first when aljo is brought up.

Not being a point fighter might help with that.

 

[Roop Holstry]

He’s not a likable fighter so he will have a hard time being liked and respected. Simple stuff. If he put on O’Malleys jacket like Merab did he would be touted as the new GOAT here

 

[gosuasus]

Start destroying people Kevin Randleman style.

plenty of fighters do that, lol. again, only aljo fans are left wondering why. the live crowds, his own hometown crowd, absolutely booing him on what should be the biggest accomplishment of his career, LOL. and you and Aljo don't know why. absolutely hilarious.

 

[flowoftruth]

he can start by cutting out all of the colorful language

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Aljo will have my undying respect and will replace the true legends of the sport like Saku if he makes o malley leave on a stretcher. (From a beating, not from o malleys brittle bones )

 

[Kabzie]

Just keep winning. Most of GSPs fights were boring as fuck lay and pray that people complained about, after he retires everyone loves him.

Just keep winning Aljo
