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

[Jfreemandrums]

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

Whats the caveat? Instead of training hard, Henry left the sport for 2+ years to booze it up? Was it the margin by which he was outstruck throughout the fight tonight?

 

[DestinedAussie]

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.

I think even if he KO'd triple C people would just be claiming he was lucky. His a fighter that people just love to hate.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

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

its not an issue of a jacket, its called reading the room. understanding you've been in a close fight that could have gone either way. you should act like it afterwards. instead he gets booed by the live crowd, his own hometown crowd, and probably has no idea why. only aljo and his fans are this delusional and unaware.

 

[drbolony]

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.

I'm not even an Aljo fan, just wanted to see Cejudo get humbled, LOL!!! And he did.

1. Win like a man (not backing up);
2. Not lie, and not try to run away from all his outlaw bullshit

You answered your own question...

 

[flektarn]

A dominant win over Merab.

 

[Mind Mine]

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.

Yes because dominating Cejudo or anyone else he fought in his championship run happens all the time lol

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

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

GSP was respectful af, nothing but great things to say, and his insults were overly respectful. that is not why. Aljo lacks the ability to perceive how he is to other people.

lol you think Jersey people like New Yorkers?

Exactly he beat a guy coming off a 3 year layoff “boozing it up” or whatever you said. That’s it.

 

[sdpdude9]

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?

Meh, I think a lot of that is him leaning into the heel role that was thrust upon him after the Yan DQ. I find it cringy, but not enough to hate the guy. Same way I feel about Cejudo.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

I'm not even ana Aljo fan, just wanted to see Cejudo get humbled, LOL!!! And he did.

his hometown crowd disagrees, LOL!!!

The jacket is everything boss. It’s the only thing I’ll remember about this card

 

[fortheo]

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 claim the Aljo vs. yan II fight was a bogus decision? damn, let it go guys. Competitive fights aren't bogus.

 

[fortheo]

his hometown crowd disagrees, LOL!!!

New jersey hates new yorkers? WHAT A SHOCKER.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

i mean sure, it could be that too. but either way, your own hometown booing you after winning should be an indication that something is wrong.

 

[Mind Mine]

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

They should dub you for claiming everyone loves Georges. Worthy of a ban imo

hahaha, true

 

[WuDi]

I like him, I think the last two wins were good for him and his ego and he has grown into a likable character.
His championship was gained over a DQ, and now he lost a fight but was given a W. The commentary was extremely biased so it was obvious which fighter the UFC wanted to win.
