@@Blade_98 whoever thinks he’s a faker would never step in the octagon, it’s yans fault and he kneed him in the face bad. That would knockout anyone you idiots
@@harambe1331 i dont think you understand how fucking hard a knee to the temple hurts man LMAO hes obviously concused lol shouldve just been a no contest and thats it. also wasnt alvarzes and dustins fight ruled a no contest ? some bullshit
yup, when i saw that on social media pics that was ridiculous. Thought he was concussed and would have to spend time healing not drinking and promo with the Cejudo
People who have never trained a martial art insulting sterling are pathetic. Go take a full power knee to the head from petr yan when you aren't expecting it and get up and keep fighting after. Yan will get an immediate rematch and probably win but to act like sterling did something wrong here is a joke.
@@alexdermer9827 he didn’t do anything wrong but he faked it. He was getting his ass beat. Celebrating the belt with his buddies and calling out Henry Cejudo out...yeah right
@@Wholisticandy yeah I didn't like him taking pictures w the belt and celebrating. That was the only part of it that bothered me. Theres no way he should have kept fighting after that but theres also no way you should celebrate that win
@@othmanaljid9076 I felt that way too but then if you don't award the title to the contender, what incentive is there for a champion not to intentionally get dqed in a fight hes losing so the title only gets stripped and he gets an immediate rematch. I get why people don't like aljo being champ like that and I thought that way too at first but it sets a terrible precedent for the sport if you can't lose your belt to someone for an egregious foul. Considering the circumstances tho an immediate rematch will be scheduled and yan will probably take his belt back. Also sterling didn't underperform so much as yan is just a savage lol.
@@CriticalSurvival0 because hes not he got beaten up for 4 rounds.. just the takedowns alone should show that Yan had over 15 takedowns. sterling had 14 attempts and 1 success.. what should have happened is neither get the belt and they run it back
@@seanmcguire9953 no he wasn’t. That was the fakest shit I’ve ever seen. No one acts like that when they get knocked out. He was straight up mister bean
He ragdolled him he almost broke his neck in the first round with the takedown. It's crazy Americans think wrestling and grappling doesn't work in street fights. Fight a Russian in a Street fight and he will lift u to slam you on the head.
For real. What a joke. Him acting like he didn't try to milk that too. Dude is a clown. EDIT: after the fight the hospital immediately cleared him 💯. He was never concussed that night. Also, after channeling his inner Smollet and pretending he didn't want the belt feeling so victimized by the knee and being forced to win an illigement belt, he went out and partied with the belt taking pictures etc... AND he is already dodging a rematch calling out Henry... What. A. Clown.
@@regoondistortedkid8500 embarrassing is losing the belt in such a rookie manner but yeah I understand your little girl hormones can’t handle that topic 🥴
@@arxulogic why do you keep commenting defending this clown? What he did was extremely dishonorable and he's in denial about losing up until the knee. Everything he did afterwards is why people are clowning him.
@@darwinleacock8582 no mercy ! Yan is full of badass Siberian tiger he is a predator chasing his prey in the cage aljamain was a mouse running in the 3rd round
I like how Sterling acts “surprised” when Buffer calls his name out he won 😂 Dude you were already told by your coaches what was happening when Yan got DQ LOL
lmao thnks for pointing that out. only realised that after your comment. lol lol lol so cringy shit. this after all his cringy concossion theatrics n trying to sell everyone how badly hurt he was. comedy gold
Atleast he was honest with his embarrassing win now, imagine if sterling just happy with this embarrasing win you bum internet fighter would more hate him worse
@@jonde4445 Instead of finishing, he chose💯 ...to lay there and cry🤣.... because he was going to stay in the crouching tiger position😂🤷♂️ to the end of the fight anyway!! What was Petr to do with someone in the fetal position in the middle of the ring at a professional level??? How was there time for Yan to even look over and ask his corner anything in that situation 🤔 Where was the refs brain at the moment 🧐..IDK but this will be some good highlights to glance back at at the end if the year🤙
Jesus is lord. Believe in him, be born again, and turn to him to be saved from Hell! Turn away from all your sins before its too late. We love yall and God loves you all🙏🏼❤️
Not only did he get his ass kicked, now he has to fight against an angrier, hungrier Pyotr Yan EDIT: Pyotr. Fyodor. Artyom. Let's get you in on that East Slavic nomenclature.
I don't blame him for taking the title but that act was cringeworthy. Throwing the belt away crying about how he didn't wanted it this way and later smiling, posing with belt and also trying to duck yan for the next fight
@@realconfigs the man knows perfectly that the fight wasn't gonna end well for him. For me petr was going to knock him out in the late fourth or in the fifth like he did to Aldo
there’s a video out there of him calling himself “the champ” not only that but now he’s calling out Cejudo?? Dude is an actually joke, it’s shameful 🤦♂️.
@@arxulogic if you would take pride in winning the belt by DQ after getting whooped single handedly, you don’t deserve it and you’re no champion and never be one. Yan will snatch it back though, and Aljo will be forced to face one of the elites at the top 5 for once and never get a crack at that belt again and will only go downhill from there, one Yan KOs him Aljos career will only go down hill from there I believe.
What he would of caught covid too to put the cherry on a totally shite night?! Hey do you think Al will be still partying in that hotel playing ‘knees up mother brown’ flat out looking at yacht pics over and over? 😁 Yan just bought him one that’s for sure PPV rematch Al now the A side baby! 🛥 What you reckon he should call her?
@@johnanthony3764 Sterling is the first MMA fighter who won an Oscar, a Golden Globes and an Emmy without putting a foot on stage. Yan was beating the shit out of him
He didn’t seem fine at all to me. You’ve clearly never been concussed but the dude was stumbling over words and slurring and that’s exactly what happens when you’re concussed. Did you see the way his head snapped back after getting knees? That’s 100% a concussion no human being can take that hit and be fine
Wouldn't be surprised if they changed the rules after this. Unless the athletic commissions are the ones that decide that? If so, then doubt it'll happen.
Actually the corner said: KICK HIM, KICK HIM Yan: WITH MY KNEE? The corner: YES, YES After that Yan made a tough and illegal knee kick on Sterling's head
The real paper champ now. “I don’t wanna win like this” immediately gloating and showing off the belt 🤣 man handled and had no gas left so he played it for an easy W.
Draft Kings would have gone bankrupt and the country would have fallen into recession due to owing the guy so much money. Whoever could make that bet just go ahead and take all the bitcoins.
Its about getting an unfair lead and taking illegal damage more than the concussion, plus yan got a brain of his only he could use instead of following the conor. 100% his own fault :)
@@joshkasselder9307 We saw it. An illegal knee landed. Then, Smollet milked it so much the cringe was off the charts. Then, Smollet pretended to cry about "not wanting to win that way" and sent the cringe to the moon. Dude is a goofball acting out there in the realest place. But, you're right he won. Anybody who has fought knows that win doesn't mean anything, including the actor himself - that's why he had to pretend he wasn't acting (he was) and he didn't want to win that way.
@@joshkasselder9307 the scorecard was 29-28 (yan) from derek cleary and sal d'amato, but yeah the knee was fookin illegal. twitter.com/UFCNews/status/1368429552699990017?s=20
Lmao doesn’t matter if he milked it or not it was an intentional and illegal knee which means disqualification there’s proof it was intentional now if the ref didn’t say he was down then you could argue but if your a professional fighter and a champion you should know the fucking rules why should a champion ask his coach if he can fucking knee a dude who’s down like that when that’s common sense.
Yan's knee is great. It generates attention and controversy, it guarantees him his next fight which will be even bigger and which he will win, and it fits into his 'No Mercy' image. Well played, Petr Yan.
100% he milked it and even waited for a head kick ! He's a joke! By the interview he was back to 100% and in the ring he was acting like he was dieing.
@@jasontierney123 to me its such a shame that he tried to sell his oscar performance that hard. If he just chilled out and let the legality of the knee do the talking, barely anyone would be clowning him right now
@@jasontierney123 that's how a lot of those type of shots go, I've seen that happen in sparring before too, it's not that wild lol Even in the interview he didn't sound 100%
@@patricklobo7505 yan landed significant strikes on him, aljo rocked yan twice slightly with elbows and yan was a punching bag, aljo got his once or twice and got rocked which kinda gave the round to yan but yan was a punching bag
He also said: "Learn to catch the mouse" or something similar during the pre-fight conf. He wasn't wrong Yan literally played him like a cat plays with mouse.
@@leftwingdelusion4609 Yeah man, he really got smashed bad by that 3 fight losing streak Yan bum 😂 Dude's bout to get cut by the UFC while Sterling is becoming the greatest fighter in BW history LOL

@@Udai_taxim yea its so stupid "hey look at me i won the belt because my opponent almost crushed my skull with a illegal knee" He also isnt talking a lot about a rematch.
@@FreakyGyrations hahahaha that moment was so cringe. I mean to do it in front of a couple of people, sure, but in front of millions of people?😂 The dude got some balls, especially considering all the body language experts today 😂
Aljamain "Hollywood" Sterling. This guy is conscious enough to give a coherent answer to every single question, but is too hurt to continue? Took the easy way out for sure.
Aljo went full on Fred Sanford method acting lol. Eyes wide open staring around like he was literally seeing Elizabeth at the pearly gates. Hell of a performance.
Bravo, bravo! Dudes a clown.. im not saying he didnt get illegaly knee'd.. its his poor showmanship from start to finish.. start off full of adrenaline screaming lets go!!! And ended off crying like a biatch..
People think we're saying its easy to get kneed in the head, NO, were saying its easy to not pull a clown of an acting performance to really sell that knee! 🤣 It was beautiful
I know right WTF was that all about just the takedowns alone should make the judge put Yan first.. over 14 takedown, sterling had 15 attempts and 1 success..
If it wasn't the way you wanted to win then get up and fight. Don't fake being hurt. You get an Oscar for your performance. Do I blame him? Absolutely not
@@letmegetuhhh3959 man pulled out neymar for the belt .. if he was really concussed how tf he took an post fight interview.. man is getting his whooped before that .. yan defeated him in his own game 1/17 vs 7/7 takedowns
Sterling seriously needs to work on that cardio and pacing himself, he looked completely gassed, was going for take downs but they looked almost like lazy clinch attempts.
@@Joe-x3p9i you’re stupid Asf If u think that, First of all He Was Fatigued, After goin 4 rounds with him And He got a clean Illegal Knee to the temple he was defo Not well, and plus he said he wanted to continue fighting but the ref didn’t allow him so it’s not his fault he Got an illegal shot on him
I don't think he said "fuck it" and knowingly illigaly kneed him. He was asking his corner if he could throw that shot and someone told him to throw it. He mainly speaks Russian and he trained with ATT for this fight..there was definitely some shit lost in translation. No way he risked throwing his belt away by purposely throwing Somthing illigal in a title fight he was winning just because he supposedly doesn't like Aljo...he still had rounds to beat his ass legally and keep his belt..shit like this happens sometimes in the heat of battle..an immediate rematch is the only answer
Sterling said he would do what khabib does.... Shows the levels to this game. Sterlings takedowns were all stuffed bar one. Yan got all 7 of hid. Sterling was clearly wavering and would have been tko late on. Illegal strike was obviously wrong and fight was rightfully called off. Immediate rematch which yan should win.
yeah yan was creative with his TDs, not traditional wresting single or doubles. he used momentum super well with his trips to put sterling on his ass, it was incredibly impressive.
Yeah everyone wishes to be Khabib. There’s a reason there’s only 1. And his protégés are monsters too. Nobody else fucks with those dudes with there style. Many Try to duplicate , can’t replicate #FathersPlan
It was not rightfully called off. He could have continued. He was apparently wobbly and dazed for 7 minutes yet he had no concussion? That’s absolute bs. He faked it heavy. Yeah he should have gotten the full 5 minute break to recover which would have given him time to get stamina back and they should have taken a point away from yan. The only reason it was stopped was because he acted like he couldn’t continue which he could have. He was exhausted and laying with his head in plain view to get hit by yan. That was due to the fight. Yan is an idiot but that doesn’t change that sterling totally milked it
Tbf if the fight had continued Yan probably would've had 2 points taken away. Which wouldve easily allowed Sterling to win if he made it to a decision.
Listen the knee was bad, but you cant say he WASNT really trying to act and sell a performance to show how unable to continue he was lol- i think that was funny and its not bad to laugh at that
Illegal knee for sure, but Sterling shouldn’t be champion. The title should be vacant and they either find two fighters ready or have these two rematch ASAP. No way in hell should Sterling keep the belt.
It seems wrong but that's just this scenario. Imagine if Sterling was winning, it would be unfair for him if he gets robbed of the belt because the opponent cheated. So it can't be the rule that the belt gets vacated when a DQ occurs.
ofc he would. he won the fucking belt it, it might've not been deserved. but ofc he'll celebrate imagine a player that won the world cup got shit for celebrating with his teammates
@key peele then maybe you should stop watching the ufc if you cant respect the rules, Im sure they're gonna run it back why are you fucking crying about it lmao
I love during the "limp" to the interview chair, Sterling for like 2 and a half steps stops leaning on his teammate and totally drops the act and then immediately catches himself and continues the lean and limp.
@@joseph6478 I dont think he has courage to face again with Petr. He outwrestled from a STRIKER, man. He was defeated after the first round. You can clearly see how he demotivated after the first round.
@@aizioncontado4737 so didnt think he was a grounded fighter.. but if it was intentional what does that have to do with anything, aljo should have kept fighting he was just exhausted anyone can see that.
@@aizioncontado4737 he could just say no to the fight and that's okay but what make people mad is the way he acting hurt to make people feel for him. the dude was so annoying tbh hope peter smash him in rematch
He was trying his hardest to hold him against the cage and take him down.. Yan is just A amazing grappler in his own right just as good. Was throwing around Sterling like he was nothing lol 7-7 takedowns for Sterling 1-17
Not really lucky, only lucky thing about is that he will get the bigger purse. Everything else is unfortunate, he will not be respected as a legitimate champ, if he lose next fight it will be embaressing since he just borrowed Yan's belt.
@@unknownentity8256 what's embarrassing is that a champion doesn't know he can't knee someone in the head when he is on the ground. Yan really needs to think about who he keeps in his corner
@@danieljacobs6691 This is the real takeaway imo it's pretty shameful when the supposed highest level of mma competitors dont even know the rules which by the way there are only a handful of compared to other sports.
