If Khabib literally murdered Conor my initial reaction would be complete shock for like ten minutes but I’m pretty sure I’d start laughing after that.

I think that might be because hes kind of a gatekeeper, he was getting owned before yan forgot the rules. I do want to see a title defence though, he could pull it off with champion powers.

it's really funny that aljo got the belt through no fault of his own but i wish that energy went to chael when he fought jones. if he'd just managed not to die in the first...

Yan was definitely winning that fight but I don't recall it being a huge mismatch. Aljo had a lot of nervous energy and utilized too much movement and power in round one and ended up gassing and falling behind. Then he took a knee to the same brain Marlon Moraes scrambled up pretty good

gently caress Weidman was incompetent. Serra Longo was trying to get him to brain damage his way to the title for years after he lost it and aljo shows him how its done instantly.

My recollection of Yan/Sterling was that Sterling was pretty active but not very effective. Yan is a pretty slow starter too so I think that made it seem more competitive. After the second round it was very one sided for Yan and he was basically cruising to a victory.

Rewatching the fight now and Sterling came out fast and heavy. Lot of pressure, very active. Landed a really good knee; Yan landed a right that rocked/dropped him for a second. Beyond that much of what Sterling threw wasn't power and was blocked. After the 1st round Sterling tired out too much. He isn't huffing and puffing but his shots and movement got slow and sloppy. He slipped a few times on the mat. By the 4th he was huffing a bit and visibly tired whenever he did anything major. And Yan turned it up in the 3rd and 4th. And guess we just remember the DQ but the exact situation happened in the 3rd round where Yan didn't throw the knee

 It would have been hard for Aljo to come back on the cards since he was fading but I think people unfairly suggest he was lost in that fight

If you're kneeling in front of your opponent and their limbs are free enough that they can choose to punch or kick you in the head, and just one of those happens to be against the rules, you're losing the fight pretty bad. Like, what's the plan here?

you hope your opponent isn't fully cognisant of the rules and take home the belt

The really weird part of this is that it looked as though Yan was going to wait for Aljo to start to start to get up before he threw the knee and then he just…didn’t.

This and the Eddie Alvarez dq led me to my unpopular theory that remaining in a position like that, where you're basically offering illegal strikes and you're only being protected by the rules, should count as grounds for TKO. I still believe it, but I don't post about it. Much.

Step really deep with the right foot and go for a double, or if you have the flexibility, reap his legs with the right calf. Put your head up right into his waist/stomach as you go, assume you won't get kneed and watch out for the guillotine. None of this offense has to fully succeed, it just needs to do enough to keep you from getting punched. You could also just fall back into a butt scoot. In motion, I think you have plenty of options. It'll take another fraction of a second for Yan to sprawl or snapdown and stop Aljo from moving.

I mean, other than to the back of the head and to the groin, punches are always a viable option. These dudes could just punch Or, if they wanna throw knees, move to like, back side control and destroy the ribs, like GSP did to Serra in the rematch. I can't think of any position/set up where there are no legal attacks available, only illegal techniques

I rewatched the fight and Yan was winning pretty comprehensively. By the 4th he was really starting to connect hard although Aljo didn’t look like he was ready to go down or anythingDoombatINC posted:Also iirc Petr ran around raising his fists and celebrating like a big rear end in a top hat after he landed the disqualifying blows, as though he was very pleased with what he had done And this didn’t happen.

that orlando sanchez thing actually was a dick move, they're doing some light grapple-sparring and just sort of half-heartedly locking up and sanchez just suddenly jon jones elbow cranks him

i think it turned into a wikipedia thing because they kept grappling and strickland backfisted him in the face and then posted the video of it on ig and it became a whole thing about safety in sparring and is it right to do those kind of legal but dick move attacks (yes, but not without warning against someone going into a fight). imo more people should do that jon jones/aoki standing elbow crank, it's a badass move.

If you rewatch the fight, a similar thing happens in the third round (I think). There Yan relieves pressure on the head, so Aljo starts standing up and Yan knees him in the head on the way up. It looked like Yan was trying to do it again, but Aljo was too tired to stand up quickly. Stupid move, but it looks like he had a plan.

I haven't rewatched the fight but at the time I remember Yan looking to his corner and saying something just before the knee as though he was asking if he could throw it. It felt like either bad corner advice or misinterpretation from Yan of what they were saying.

Of course Yan was tired and asked his corner who gave him bad advice it seems. I had also forgotten how good Aljo looked early, but it seems to have really tired him out so I have a hard time seeing a path to victory for him in the rematch. Perhaps he could get a lucky submission.

Wait you seem to be saying Yan had a plan, I was talking about Aljo there, I mean obviously theoretically he'd like to stand up, but he was in that position for like 5 seconds and seemed to be doing completely nothing. He seemed too tired to stand up...at all, not just quickly. https://i.imgur.com/CXgjxmm.mp4 Yeah maybe if he doesn't get kneed there Aljo eats a punch on the way up, stands up, the round ends, but then what? I dunno, obviously it's MMA and anything can happen, but it seemed pretty clear what was going to happen this time.

It was stupid of Yan and he should have known the rules to not throw it. But I'm also not going to say that a Russian person who isn't a native English speaker (I don't know how much verbal English Yan understands) in the heat of the moment and 19 minutes deep into a championship fight is going to have as good of a grasp on the rules as a native speaker would in that situation, so his failure to initially understand why it was a foul and anything they went over back stage might not have had sunk in as well. Sterling sucks and the fact he acts like a champ is embarrasing for him.

i mean that kind of situation has happened so many times under the unified rules. fights just seem to stop completely dead there since neither guy can do something without getting kneed or dq'd. that didn't stop yan though lol

The fight was one sided enough that I don't really have much interest in a rematch and I'd much rather have Yan vs TJ instead.
