Hate me, but I really wanna see T.J demolish fake-ass champ's face man. I think even his own teammates don't like him man.

I got Abubakar. I don’t even think he’s great but I think he is better than Gahdzi imo, more technical on the feet and is better with his top pressure on the ground

If Aljamain Sterling is fake ass champion man, What does that make Petr Yan than, Sterling beat him pretty clearly

But I say, it pretty funny how Yan was about to have a win over Sterling, But forgot the rules and got DQ, Than lost the rematch, If Yan didn't have a massive brainfart, He be near the  top of the pound 4 pound list, And be a champion with at least 3 title defense, Kinda fell bad for the guy,

Aljo earned his respect with his last fight. He is no fake champion, the only person I’d call a “fake champion” right now is Carla Esparza

Aljo ain’t a fake champion but he didn’t beat jack **** clearly lmao. He’s 1-1 with Yan and the second fight was a split decision. That’s not very clear to me

He did beat him clearly, Double him on strikes in the first round, Held his back for the next two rounds, It was a joke that fight was a split, Sterling 48-47 clear as day, Yan is the better fighter, But he made big mistake in both fight, He should of went for it more in the rematch, He was down 3 rounds, He could of knock him out, Sterling was gassed


First fight he broke the rules and got punnished, Pretty crazy how one bad decision change a man carrer

Regarding Esparza vs Aljo who's the fake champion.

Answer is nobody, they both were able to snag/hold on and just barely squeak by.

Aljo did it via body triangle (even tho round 1 is what it came down too and Aljo won on striking.)  And Esparza by just dancing around pretty much. 

You can hate or agree with both but I think it's kinda inconsiderate to call a champion in the highest organization of fighting with a belt a "fake" of any kind. They did what was needed to be done, I don't envy fighting as a job at all.

(People also forget Esparza turned Xiaonan Yan's face to GROUND BEEF!)

Listen T.J was on pads but he has quite good career honestly. KO over Prime Renan Barao twice, then very very close match against cruz split dec lose, then beat up Cody twice also. Man you must respect him as fighter. OK I don't support his choice to take peds, but be honestly he has good chahce to become bantamweight champ for third time.

Oof. I don’t really like Dobson vs Petrosyan. I wanted to see both guys get a rebound win. Good fight on paper
