Holy ****. Just checking tap after the fights with my friends. Some of y’all are ******* punk ass ******* for the way you acted during that Sterling fight. The ******* torque his head went through when he took that knee was ridiculous, the man was ****** and none of you know what that feels like. So unless you got some blue on your name **** or put your money where your mouth is.

I agree the belt shouldn’t have changed hands and that should not be a win. But **** you want from these fighters, to continue after that? Jesus, some of the most cheap fans in the sports world.

Tieoken, lol you're trying to take the win away from him with all that hype. When you get fouled and the fight can't go on, it's a DQ. It wasn't an inadvertent headbutt and a cut or something.

A little sad about Adesanya losing and the way the Yan vs Aljo fight ended, but still very satisfied.

I just don’t agree with the rule @Erison. The right thing happened for the rules, I just dislike the one knee down rule. Yan was on his way to winning that fight, and I dislike that the outcome was what is was. But regardless of it was a TKO win for Yan or a DQ stoppage Sterling shouldn’t have been encouraged to continue fighting. And the fans shouldn’t be ****ting on him for getting ****** up by one of the cleanest knees I’ve seen in a minute.

Looking at the scorecard and wow. They only gave one 10-8, but they just straight up had Jan winning every round. Izzy needed a KO going into the 5th. I thought I was out on a limb saying Jan stole some rounds. Turns out, they saw a domination. Can't say I agree...

9 of 15 isn't bad. I'll take it. The undercard and prelims were awesome. Till next time.

Good night of fights. My mood got soured by Yan's terrible fight IQ, but Jan once again proved me wrong was cool to see. Sweet dreams and Blachowicz Blessed.

I'm curious as to how Aljo is a coward for not finishing that fight when he couldn't even stand for the official decision. Dude caught a cleaner to the fave and some of you guys have the balls to call him an actor.

I don’t blame him for not continuing I just think that he was looking for that way out from how many times he dropped to his knees in rounds 3 and 4 hoping yann would land an illegal one

He dropped to his knees to prevent Yan from throwing it? It wasn’t bait bro, Aljo just realized the knee was a threat so dropped to a knee to make himself safe. Y’know cause those are the rules (dumb rules, but still). Like his game plan wasn’t to eat an illegal knee to the face, I really hope that’s not what you’re insinuating.
