Why is Aljamain Sterling being so disrespected?

[stephen90]

The fans hate hate him it’s really that simple.

Not even like Colby who people want to watch to see lose they just simply don’t like him.

Shame though controversy aside he’s a genuinely great fighter.

Colby's stock has greatly fallen too. There's a reason why he's on a fight night and not a PPV.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

They should've cut him back when there was all that hoopla about his contract and he was going to quit and become a gym teacher.

I barely get on this dogshit forum anymore especially with 2 step verifying just get told I'm a libtard because I don't support outright bullshit and delusion which is the UFC's bread and butter, but I feel the need to speak in this.

Let me be perfectly clear: the top 2 FW contenders being slapped on low end prelims and replaced on the main card by a rare ass showing by an inactive Kron Gracie to be a showcase fight for the stupidest, furthest right wing conservative UFC fighter in the entire organization is a travesty of epic proportions and is why I stopped watching this fascist shitshow of a fucking "sport." They care about pushing social & economic conservatism and making as much as humanly possible off of guaranteed CTE brawls and KOs than running a legitimate sports organization. The talent is definitely there but the agenda is literally retarded and the both fans and staff of the UFC are racist and biased and if you call them out on it you're a "liberal pussy."

I just can't watch or support this bullshit any longer and things like this are why.

.... ANYWAYS...
hey at the end of the day you all including Dana got what ya'll wanted.
hopefully if everything goes right aljo will keep losing and then get cut and then you all
can pretend to appreciate his career like you guys
pretend with mighty mouse.

Aljo literally was going to move up & give up the strap anyways, but, that simply was not good enough.
using yall logic it went like
"HOW DARE ALJO get DQ'd and then take the rematch and beat this non american on american soil . HE NEEDS TO BE
HUMBLED.."

Aljo dared to know his worth and thus he had to be "humbled" and thus dana did his typical BS as he did with Cyborg Woodley Francis
and with the help of his loyal faithful cult bros yall all formed like voltron and set aljo on this path.
Dana lies & trash his fighters while you guys vocally cosign dana's disrespect with yall own narrative.....
And you weirdos are literally trying to do the same exact shit with jon jones.... except jon jones
has more elbow room.... but anyway it is what it is.

 

[TR1]

He didn't have three solid title defenses lol.

 

[m249viking]

He fights a grinding style that fans don't like.

Personally, I'm a fan of the guy. I still remember when he was a sherbro like the rest of you guys. He's always been very responsive to fans and still to this day responds on social media more than most fighters.

Too puny to be a True Sherbro

 

[NoSmilez]

He doesn't have a fan base even among the tristate area.

I think people don't like him because of the way he handled himself after winning the belt from a DQ. He went from I didn't want to win this way to celebrating his belt and calling out CCC. It all happened within the span of 24 hours. I think he would have a fan base if he didn't get on social media after winning the belt like that. People were giving him shit online but he also fed into it.

 

[Kwic]

This didn't help.

 

[Elegant]

He's kind of like Anthony Smith

He's so delusional to the point you worry about his mental health

He's never wrong and you can't tell him any different, ''I win that fight 9/10 times but just lost that one'', super annoying, always has excuses etc

He comes off as just fake and ingenuine and trying to be someone he's not

 

[hogwash]

Cause they're absolutely void of personality and soul and fun

 

[CasualBot]

So what gives? Is he just boring?

 

[wh4tttt]

He was just overwhelmed with excitement from winning the belt lol.

Get CAA on the phone.

 

[Luthien]

Actors aren't very popular these days

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Sterling won the title with a fluke. To defend his title, he barely scraped by an overconfident Petr Yan (who had just mopped the floor with him in the previous fight). He then took on an injured, old, TJ Dillashaw, and an old (and overrated in his prime) Henry Midgejudo.

Got knocked out by rainbow dreadlocks... then laid and prayed Kattar.

As far as I am concerned, he hasn't won a fight since 2020, when he beat Cory Sandhagen in a legitimate fashion.

"As far as I am concerned, he hasn't won a fight since 2020."

I don't think the sport works that way.

 

[Mind Mine]

Aljo does not play Dana’s shit well so he gets no hype. Personally I love the guys fights and his attitude. I could tell you why they hate him but I already have dubs cut a guy some slack

 

[Pompey Junglist]

People don't pay to watch 'the human backpack'. It's one step up from 'Lay & Pray'. He may as well call himself 'the insomniac's cure'.

 

[ferrisjso]

I still remember when Dana released a documentary showing him and Hunter bullying Alijo and them being so out of touch they didn't realize it made them look bad.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

The UFC is looking to make money man and some fighters simply don't punch the right buttons for fans. The dude at times can be very boring. He isn't the most vocal guy and the division has never been the most popular around.

 

[KarateYeah]

I thought the same. But to be honest, he could be more disrespected and taken off the card and i wouldnt care much

 

[whocares]

His performance at 300 did him no favors. He was content to take a nap on a grappling white belt for 3 rounds with no urgency instead of fighting for a finish on a night where everyone else was trying to kill each other and it stuck out in a bad way. At this point Aljo doesn't bring anything to the table that the UFC brand is trying to promote, his only value to the company is that he's a name.
