That rule needs to change. People shouldn’t be able to bait a knee for a title. The irony in Sterling constantly calling yann the paper champ when it’s clear who is now

Dude, I was already thinking how awkward the transition (in quality) from Yan vs Sterling to Nunes vs Anderson was gonna be and now we have some insane DQ go down...

Just when I thought I couldn't be anymore bummed about watching Megan Anderson...

You can tell 90% of you posers have never gotten knocked out in your life. Stop acting like ******* idiots. "Aljo was acting blah blah blah".. you wannabe tough guys would be crying for your mommy in that position.. this has nothing to do with predictions or your bets, I'm actually surprised he didn't go completely out from that knee.

I agree it was stupid but my point is if Sterling can’t win the belt from a DQ then Sterling wouldn’t be intentionally trying to draw an illegal blow from yann like weidman tried to against mousasi. luckily for mousasi he isn’t as stupid as yann

You guys are stupid if you think Aljo had an alternative to faking it. Did you really expect him to eagerly accept the belt and come off as a prick? Or continue to fight when he was compromised and gassed, heading towards a guaranteed loss?

By the way, you guys are acting like Sterling was celebrating like he won the title. He understood the circumstances and he was in tears because of it. Nobody wants to win like that. Those tears on the canvas weren't fake, he was disappointed in himself to even put himself in that position. The rematch will be fun, can't wait. Even though Petr was pulling away at the end of that fight, it was still competitive. I'm looking forward to those two going at it again. I hope it's a no contest, and I don't see Sterling seeing that belt as his after the way it ended. Downvote me I don't care, you guys are keyboard warriors.

Sterling intentionally dropped to his knees quite a few times there. You know if that was the other way around yann continues fighting
