Everyone talking that Aljo rah-rah sh!t now, but let’s go look at the votes to see who was really bout that life when it came down to picking the winner :manny::yeshrug::manny:
Too many people saw the first fight and thought he was scared of yan abd took a cowards way out BUT forget that he was doing work early in the fight

This is what I noticed this in the first fight

Aljos reach and ugly and awkward boxing gives Yan fits on his reads I think. Yan is a technical fighter, he wants to walk you down look for holes. When he has trouble finding the openings cuz Aljo used his reach and front kick plus the wrestling threat, it really threw Yan off I think
Meh. Yan tried to bomb on him too much early. Ajo scooped his leg and muscled in the takedowns that he did manage to get. It was ugly as shyt but pure will. Once Petr adjusted and Ajo was more tired in the last rounds it really showed how bad they were set up

Yan got exposed tonight way more so than Khamzat.

dude ain't no boogeyman
Sheet. You gotta come in an animal for Yan.

I think his problem is he has a habit of giving up his back to defend the single leg off of instinct and can't make the adjustment in the squeeze. Maybe hes bad off his back

I thought Sterling was gonna break in the later rounds and lose the fight

Too many people thought he was gonna dog walk Aljio so they over estimated Yans aggression. He did this to himself, all the anger lead him to act out of character
I picked Aljo to win by sub, and he easily could have with a better gameplan.

Not sure what the bookies or everyone else was seeing in Yan. Aljo showed me enough in the first fight that he could definitely win this one.

Darren till is rubbing his loser ass on to khanmazat

also fukk center kickboxing. I remember listening to a podcast with their coach. Basically they train to counter grappling. Like they’re whole strategy is defending the takedown they don’t even let the fight get to the ground. But man Aljo can be a champ champ


I think sterling takes out volanaski

Bisping was 4-1 in his last five before his title fight .... and he had just defeated Anderson Silva

not even remotely close to being the same as Zombie tonight :pachaha:
