I’m a huge Aljo fan. I’ve been following him since before Marlon kneed the living fuck out of him. There was some acting and some calculating in the first title fight with Yan, I believe. Yan was handing Aljo his ass in that fight.

This goal sheet is something that ambitious people do. You have to have ambition to become a UFC champion. I think that in the first title fight with Yan, after Yan landed the illegal knee, Aljo saw a win for a UFC belt in a fight that he was losing, and he is just ambitious enough that after seeing how obvious and flagrant the knee was, he put on a performance while he was deciding what to do. Which, in the end was to win by DQ Which means he won without honor. His terrible acting just made it that much worse.

A lot of fighters would do what Anthony Smith did in the Jon Jones fight and continue the fight after taking an illegal knee to the head when he was already losing. Doing that has more honor.

Let’s talk money. How much money did Anthony Smith lose by not getting his win money that night? $100,000 conservatively? How much money comes with being a UFC champion? $500,00 each fight or so? This will be Aljo’s fourth purse at a champion’s pay on top of whatever money and perks come with being a UFC Champion over 2 1/2 years. At some point, what Aljo did is a business decision. He made the right business decision for his family. It made people hate him and want to see him lose.

He didn’t used to be this bad but these days I feel like he is wrong about this type of thing all of the time.

I didn’t like him until after he had retired and started his podcast. He was a real cunt in his fighting days.

Early fights with the boiiisss! Liking the commentary team. Gooden and Bisping are great. Felder is…there too.

Clowned him with a full nelson. For shame.

Never let a good opportunity go to waste.

Morales passing the gatekeeper test. Not setting any panties on fire with that decision though.

It’s risky putting her with Bisping. The first time I saw them together, there were some cringe moments. I jumped on late so I haven’t heard anything suspect from those two yet. I like Sanko.

I’d love to stay here so I’ll keep checking and deal with the growing pains. Without Reddit is Fun, they can get fucked.

I looked for this thread on lemmy but couldn’t find it from there. Had to go find it on the fight thread on /r/mma unfortunately. I just searched @mma on lemmy.world and nothing came up.

Just got home and caught up with the Kevin Lee fight. Just brutal. I wonder how long he was out and still getting strangled.
