Amazing win for Aljo. Cejudo took too much time off. Aljimain fought like a true champion. Sucks how the UFC doesn't give him the respect he deserves. UFC needs stars right now they should put there propaganda machine behind him. He punked o malley like it was nothing

If O Malley wanted the views he should've slapped Sterling that's what McGregor would've done.

Wonder who's gonna tell the UFC that there won't be anymore Chuck Liddells and Randy Coutures they need to support their champions.
aljo Isn’t a star, he isn’t must see tv.

i think the way he won the belt turned A lot of people off, and it’s gonna take a min for people to forget about it.

two split dec wins in his last 3 fights, and he won the belt DQ.

They memtioned it after the O'Malley crap. I know Aljo just made history, but in the grand scheme, it ain't an impressive stat at this weight class. It just isn't. Realistically Dom could have 5+ consecutive defenses had his right leg, left leg, left leg, groin and planters fasciitis not put him on the bench for 8 years.
I mean impressive is relative. If Aljo did what no one else did in his weight class, then it's a notable accomplishment. Glad they did mention it.
When I heard that Stipe defended the HW title 3 times I used to :heh: because I was so spoiled off GSP, Anderson and Bones defending titles like minimum 5 times. But since no HW did what Stipe did before, I get it.

:camby:Bruh, when is he gonna get his credit as a champ???? Dude is a beast, is he CRAZY CRAZY EXCITING KNOCKOUT STANDUP, no….but he puts in work & wins his fights as a champion. And his next fight is against an undeserved contender in OMalley…….sitTF down with the Aljo hate @ this point
he's the weakest champ on the roster. yal get so emotional over some of this lol

there is nothing spectacular about aljo

dude can't even process his own reach advantage. any other fighter ignoring a jab and jumping straight into bodylocks the whole night against an essentially motionless opponent and the dialogue is immediately different. this was a ranked fight struggle match.

Naaaaaaaw...Nunes at 145 is :troll:

:troll: He wasn't trying to win on the feet. He wanted to cement his GOAT status by beating Cejudo at his own game. Much like Jones outwrestling DC in their first fight.

:troll:

UFC doesn't need stars, they get paid enough money from ESPN per PPV event that they are net positive before the fight card goes live.
UFC is fine with fighters not being stars if that keeps salaries low.
Also, going by Sherdog, Aljo isn't well liked, it'd be a waste of money IMO.
Khamzat is the guy they need to push.
