rewatching Sterling vs Yan rematch with no commentary, I thought Sterling did win the 1st round, Sterling landed at least 6 more stikes then Yan and landed a good elbow at the 4 minute mark of the fight, Going forward and looking intemdating isn't how fights are scored, Damage is, Sterling landed the strikes, so he should win it

I think Yan might still be the "better fighter", But Sterling was the better fighter on the night because Sterling had a way better game plan, I still think it was dumb of Yan to not go harder for the finish in round 4 and 5, He had him gassed, He could probley gotten him out of their if he tried harder for it

unfortunately I agree Damien. Yan is more talented but on a round by round scoring basis, Aljo won fair and square

Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 4185th

Abdurakhimov vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R2
Jailton will find it hard to get it done early, and will grapple a little, so I think round 2 sounds right.

Nishikawa vs. Mustafaev
Magomed Mustafaev, TKO, R2
The Sniper will land and hurt the kid.

I 100% can respect Aljo’s fighting ability, what I can’t respect is the man himself. When he says “Needleshaw” I cringe, my guy you are Aljamain “Sauce Master” Sterling. Just don’t say anything about steroids when you are more saucing looking than nearly every single bantamweight out there

TJ is a ***** who should remove himself from the record books but oh **** that would mean just about everyone in MMA lmfao I dislike this man for ending a man's career in the gym and cheating, not only cheating but most likely earning most of his victories via cheating.

TJ knee'd a downed Holdsworth in training causing trauma that he could not recover from

Also he did not return to fighting due to concussion issues bro

TJ is like Jon Jones, You have to respect what he done in the cage, But also they're both massive ****s and steroid cheats, I want TJ to lose so bad for that reason, You can not like a fighter and respect what they're do in the cage, **** Dillashaw for ending holdworth Carrer and sucker punching another training partner

Also, Can you really hate Sterling for being a steroid cheat if he never got caught doing it, You can look like that Natty, And if he was on PED,  I think he have more knockout powers, Sterling has 0 knockdown in his entire UFC carrer, That why I think he natty TBH

Belal is boring ass fighter but he choose smart way to build his career, he got cold out ko in Luque's first fight, then he go with his wrestling and dominate him
