Good for Sterling though I think he has well over 10 brothers and sisters, comes from a hard knocks background and he has grinded hard for years now look at the shape he is in, barely an ounce of fat... Taking it back to Long Island

I’d of been okay with the second being a 10-8 for Dern but she definitely lost 2 rounds. Popularity win.

“ Yan/Sterling may be closer than many think, imo. I think Yan fandom and Sterling hate (both maybe deserved) has some a bit clouded with bias. I just remember the first was much closer than people seem to recall. The first round was a toss up, Sterling clearly won the second, Yan clearly won the third and then Yan took over in the fourth. He definitely should be the favorite but Sterling’s ability to grapple and mix things up definitely make him dangerous for anyone. Also everyone hating the last one being stopped, I wonder how many times youve been knees or punted in the head before when down. I have several times and it’s not the greatest of feelings. It could take your will to fight, especially when exhausted. I get the shade involved but let’s put some accountability going Yans way too. Very clear illegal strike. I expect Yan to get his hand raised but in a fun competitive scrap. ”


Should’ve listened to my own thoughts. Lol.

Yan definitely missed his wrestling coach, the one cornermen that couldn’t get his visa proved to be the weakest link in his game

I’m still pissed about the judges robbing Torres like she clearly took the 1st and 3rd while dern clearly took the 2nd. Even if she got a 10-8 that round the least it could be is a draw. Smh ****** judging strikes again.

I think Yan won but I don't hate Aljo winning either, because Yan didn't bring his A game, he let his emotions take over, and when it comes to the championship fights, I believe you have to take it.  I was much more disgusted with the Moreno/Figgy fight than this.  Aljo made the changes and Yan came with the same plan but overemotional.  He has only himself to blame.

AHAHAHAH what did I said ? Y'all dorks are playing with silly parlays of 50$

Easy to get catch a lucky win when you bet little bucks here and here, no real conviction just betting on 20 different parlays with crazy odds and you think u the sh*t ? LMAO silly clown.

Y'all all the same, betting little bucks in 10 different parlays trying to score a big one.

Dork happy he made 5K of his little 50 bucks 🤣, little broke ass bum I made 5 figs just this night and no i'm not talking about just 10-15K but way more and just on this "Aljo win by decision" parlay.
I'm not even talking of my other real bets, you would pop champagne if u was me fool.

Not only did I predicted perfectly this fight, but I also predicted with precision that you dork bet silly 50$ parlays AHAHAHAHAH.
You confirmed everything that I said, dork.

There's 3 decisions on this card fans question the judges on.

Torres/Dern
I think this was just a really close fight and I wouldn't question either way it went. The first round was the round in question. They traded back and forth and it could've gone either way. Dern dominated round 2 and threatened with multiple submissions. Torres clearly won round 3 by landing more shots. I scored it Torres but I wasn't upset when they said Dern.

Chimaev/Burns
I don't understand why fans question this one. Round 1 was clearly Khamzat's round. He controlled Gilbert and landed the more effective shots that round. Round 2 was clearly Gilbert's round especially after dropping Khamzat in the final seconds. Round 3 was the one in question and I think it's because Gilbert landed more shots in the second half but people forget how gassed Gilbert was the first half of that round and he was in danger of being finished it looked like to me. Hard to come back from that.

Yan/Sterling
This fight should not have been scored in Sterling's favor. It should have either ended in a 47-47 draw or 48-47 Yan. Yan clearly won rounds 4 and 5. Sterling clearly won rounds 2 and 3 and depending on whether you scored round 2 10-8 for Sterling or not determines whether it's a draw or a win for Yan. Round 1 was slow paced round and neither fighter landed much but Yan was the aggressor and should have won based off of octagon control alone. I could argue he landed the more effective strikes that round too. This was a robbery and I'd love to hear someone's explanation on why Sterling won round 1

It’s a popularity decision at work, @Ayy. People hate hearing and thinking about it but it’s anything close will go certain ways for some folk more than others. She very very very clearly lost 1 & 3.  That’s a bad one.
