Sterling did is thing at 135 and with his mindset and confidence he can do the same at 145. If he meets Max it will be a good one. Get Stylbender on the pod.

Huge fan of funkmaster dude is the bantamweight goat

this podcast should have at least 10 times more subscribers, least! Rampage is such a character, such a MAN! One of the few who always sounds like he's intelligent as F on top of how much he's a badass. Co-host is also just spot on, idk if they are buddies or just business partners, but the guy fits perfectly. Every podcast on this channel is just gold. Aljo is the man for sure too. Wish you guys much deserved growth! Best wishes from Ukraine!

Ufc over worked Sterling and drained him down. Omalley fought a shell of the true warrior the funk master is. He had no rest and time to heal right. So active . Bless you champ funk mastah

Loved the energy in this episode...great dynamics with the 3 of you!

Rampage Jackson makes for the BEST podcast. An excellent conversationalist. Very humble, friendly, respectful, and inviting of all his guests on the show. Very intelligent man too.

I've always loved Aljamain's technical expertise overcoming the brawler technique. Watched him at the Veterans Memorial Stadium and it was the best experience I've ever had

These interviews…….. are my highlight for the day 🔥. (Can’t wait for wanderlei)😭

Big fan of Sterling. Wish we would see him fight Suga again for excited to see him work at 145 too

Man this is becoming one of my favorite podcasts all these crazy stories behind the scenes and sh*t

Rampage is fking hilarious 😂😂😂

There's just alot that goes into aljo's controversy... 1 - his performance; and that's what it was after the knee- a performance, rolling around the cage 2 - he dropped the belt into the center of the octagon acting like it wasn't how he wanted to win it 3- he leaves the hospital after 30 minutes, after which, a doctor stated that he had NO concussion -Dana White confirmed this at the post fight press conference 4- He took to Instagram at an after fight party, Flexing with the belt, totally negating his performance after dropping it into the center of the octagon 5- The aftermath: he tried to play the Conor McGregor - like villain afterwards, as opposed to just being open about the fact that he put on a performance for the sake of forwarding his career Add insult to injury, the man takes advantage of the grounded opponent rule like no one else and is extremely boring to watch, making him all around just unlikeable. Had he just owned it and said, "shit, I'm getting PPV points now" he'd have a bigger fanbase

Get Strickland on the Pod Rampage

This channel getting all the dope guests!

Aljo is one of my favorite people to listen to about the mental game of the sport and he aint scared to be completely honest

love this show man fr Rampage keeping the OG UFC vibes alive

Another dope pod ✊🏽. Happy to hear Aljo’s side. Him wanting to move up and fight max, gave me a new found respect for him.

Oh my god that intro by rampage had me spillin coffee

42:05 Rampage, man, you're the almost only one pronouncing that man's name in a correct way! =)

Love this Podcast, much love ❤️

Aljo is a good dude! Fuck the haters!

That white jacket in the beginning on Rampage is kinda fire. Couldn't wear it cuz I'd b obsessed with keeping it clean but I do like it.

Great pod!

37:45 "TO THIS DAY"

That Junior High school story is wild. Glad you got out while you could.

Wtf this was supposed to drop today why did yall push it back to the 14th?? I was excited for this one man don’t do that bro

Aljo funny af.. he replied to a comment I made on his channel years ago.. I’ve been a fan ever since. Let’s go champ 🤙🏼

Rampage + Aljoooo sick! 🤙🎒🐺

Rampage says he knows about getting kneed to the head in Pride repeatedly, but I really think that if UFC allowed knees, Aljamain wouldn't have acted so dazed and confused afterwards just like the countless fighters who were kneed in the head when it was legal. He acted more dazed and confused for longer than people who woke up after getting knocked out by Ngannou. I'm not saying it didn't hurt or it doesn't disorient someone, but I think the truth is somewhere in the middle between reality and exaggeration/acting.

Aljo is top 5 BW goat, he beat killers. Love the guy, wish he got more credit for what he done in the division. Dude fought absolutely everyone

he talked so down about omalleys skills that he cant admit he lost and it still stings... he hasnt accepted that loss and id like to see them fight again cause id put the house on amalley beating him again ... omalleys style just matches up good with aljos sloppy style... but aljo was the champ in the ufc and thats more than ive done so respect and salute to aljo... hes the man for that

Fire podcast

The 135 🐐 AND he did it without any shortcuts.

How does this not have more views man

Amazing episode as always, best MMA show on RU-vid. It would be great to see El Guapo on here, some stories about the old Pancrase and Pride days! \m/

He finished your ass in the first round 🫢

get nick diaz on here

1:42:45 I respect Rampage so much for this. Bear was acting all hypocritical calling Also as the "controversial" champion when Aljo's reign as the champ is as legit as legit gets. Rampage called Bear out when he was out of line.

Rampage selling gold plated jewelry is HILARIOUS

Lmao love rampage but that logo idea had me weak

Please get wanderlei on the show! Two of my pride favs who swung on each other so many times. It would be awesome

Great episode, can honestly say I have more respect for Aljo after this podcast. He is a smart and cool dude who everyone liked before the first Petr Yan fight and seems like a lot of the hate toward him is unjust.

Aljos a real one real mates merab and aljo❤️

Honestly I stuck up for Aljo in comments knowing he was dazed a.f. by the knee but then I was a little perturbed by the belt posing pics cuz I'm defending dude & then it looks like he's celebrating a belt he got by default. Have to understand u live publicly & then publicly post that pic, it will lead to backlash. Still respected him tho especially after returning & winning 2nd fight with Yan. It's a tough gig. Add a bunch of tough talking clueless fucks online who call fighters bums when they couldn't handle a day in their life, never mind weight cuts, fighting etc & that's more added to the plate. Just have to focus on improving & being present & on for the big show & tune all the noise out.

54:34 deeeep, even if it's not actually spot on (idk) it's a cool inside of the thought process and inside "kitchen"

Amazing by podcast

When Rampage realized the good intentions behind Aljamain's actions with the rushed fight favor for Dana White vs O'malley, such a humble moment. Bantamweight scrub malley needs a humbling.

Dc went down a weight class to avoid having to fight Cain …(smart move)

NEED TIMESTAMPS

Good shit

Bro aljo i seen your eyes when rampage said that you didnt care about that fight so that merab can get the belt, its all in the eyes chico, you almost broke down and that shows whats in your heart.

Aljo stanko still hasn’t gotten his academy award

I actually love Aljo.

you should have rashad evan’s on the podcast that would be dope

Respect to Aljo tho he’s a former champ he has to get thrown into the fire right away 💯

Can you please have a podcast with the fighter Blood Axe from king of the streets fighting @jaxxonpodcast

it’d be crazy if sterling boxed tank

Love aljo💯

UFC logo vs UFC logo Dana needs to book it now for UFC 300

Rampage the clock is ticking fam

lol rampage airing out aljermain is the best 😂 sniffing the booty sounds crazy

Tbh i also think it was an early stoppage. At that night i was for suga but still think it was an early stoppage or false stoppage at that Moment. If the ref stopped it immidiate after the Hit ok because he was clearly hurt. But where the ref stopped it aljo was clearly on his way back to the fight. I think the ref thought aljo turns away from the fight. But for aljo it was a tactical thing to get up

Aljo I'm proud of you bro I been a fan and still a fan you beat the best, and yes the UFC is all about making money 💰💰 if they can make money they can make a excuse to push you to the Title

21:25 I believe the difference is Floyd was always picking and choosing his fights thus was never undisputed in any weight class, also never fought outside of USA, always fights with home field advantage, and he wasn't forcing himself to defend his belt, he was winning then vacate his belt, you can't do that in MMA and UFC, imagine Floyd winning 10 interim UFC belts but not undisputed, and UFC wouldn't allow anyone to win and vacate his undisputed titles again and again, thats the difference. Another difference Floyd has the lowest KO finish rate (%54) amongst other legends in boxing, Ali has %66 finish rate for example, and Floyd also having many close fights thus he needed to do more.

Rampage is right about Dana White and the UFC logos. The times when UFC did was most successful is when there were entertaining/marketable fighter being promoted. UFC basically had mma on lock in 2010, but they stopped promoting fighters, made them all look the same and made it very generic looking. Most ppl don't know any UFC fighter by name besides Conor MCgregor. More people are interested in watching ex ufc fiighters in other promotion than watch UFC events

Early stoppage mark gonnard

They need to bring colby and kamura on the podcast🤌

This needs more views fr

I wish aljo would have leaned into it more the dq win ahhaha would have been hilarious

As a fan of Sean o malley I really would actually like to see face aljo full health

Thank you for saying that because I've never fought in a care but I've so many crazy as hard sparring matches that still to THIS DAY!! I train and stay 5 rounds ufc shape MOST of the time I stay in Triathlon shape because some sparring matches turn into a Full on Fight. More people need to sparr at least 2 times a week than they'll understand Real martial and what Fighters go through. 😂 these damn fan thinks that Fighters are like your everyday human being so they say and ask STUPID as question

37:44 42:08

Rampages co-host is giving me flashbacks of listening to Carson Daly when he was on MTV 20 years ago. " He dangerous tho " "That's all you dawg ". GTFOH with that man, you're white.

Aljo vs Bryce Mitchell could b interesting

Bear digilgilio

Hey guys can you make chuck vs Tito in boxing? Would be much appreciated btw my money would be on the ice man.

PLEASE BEING THE GOAT TERENCE CRAWFORD ON

I agree with aljo with who are you fighting/finishing . Leon has a weak resume besides Usman and luque . Never fought ranked or contenders

Aljo my favorite fighter since rampage ..f yalll!!

38:53 "SUBSCRIPTIONS" 😁

TJ really fuckin pissed me off for whining for a title fight knowing his shoulder was done for, Jose could've gotten a shot at the title which is a fight Aljo wanted as well but instead Merab held him up against the fence to retirement and Dillashaw shat the bed and literally had to tell the ref "my shoulder will pop out pls don't stop the fight "

1:42:25 "passive and aggressive income" 😅

Gaddam finally

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Get Cody on

one the best episodes, props to Fuckmaster!!!!

Acropolis in Portland, OR, is the best steak house. Titties and steak bites 😂

Aljamain "i threw up" Sterling

153lbs full size

1:04:40 Jackson, please, brother, Vovchanchin is Ukrainian, not Russian!

He would be the best host if he wasn’t always interrupting the guest lol

I love the anger in rampages face when forest is brought up never liked that pillow handed fighter
