Yeah you tough guy of course you would have continued to fight instead of just winning by DQ.

Apparently you lost money so I understand. It's all good.

Edit: And yeah of course he made it Look much worse. Who wouldn't, he knew he was losing big time.

True got to take the money over everything. when you know you were going to lose might as well not continue fighting. Smart by sterling.

Technical decision would probably be best. But I'll take it just like Jibbs. On to the next.

Should been a No Contest or Technical Decision with points taken from Yan imo but that is not what the ruleset says.

It was not close! yan stuffed like 16 takedowns and took him down a ton. Also was pulling away easily. Conserved his energy first couple rounds. No was was sterling going to win that.

One judge had him winning. So I wouldn't be too sure. Of course Yan was in control after round 2 but who knows with these UFC judges. It's the closest fight that Yan has had in his UFC career.

I hope so. Just annoyed because i bet line wont be good again. Yan is levels above sterling.

Hurts so much more to be pretty accurate in my read on the fight and lose on something that's never happened before in 26 years of UFC. Part of the game I guess.

One judge had Sterling a head on points

That was complete bs!

I hope Amanda gets dropped here. Big odds on the fade KO.. It's a long shot but you never know!!!

I think the Rivera fight was closer. Rivera was edging the rounds but got dropped twice in the later rounds.

Added Hedge:
Anderson Scorecards = No Action (+700) 0.15u

It was the closest but that judge who had Sterling had money on him lol. Yan really is one level above Sterling.

lmfao i seriously doubt by the time the fight was over two judges had sterling winning. Sterling was not going to make a miracle comeback and eat spinach like popeye and get his energy back.Well its easy to say its the closest fight since it was never even finished...

**Allure** · 03-07-21, 12:22 AM

Please Meghan just survive 1 round.

I disagree, I'm sorry. Let's say if Sterling was on top of Yan all 4 rounds, and Yan lands a horrible illegal knee to the head, would you think the same? That a rematch should decide the winner? Correct decision imo to give Sterling the strap. Yan needs to be ultra knowledgeable of the rules and not rely on his coaches.

That's what I mean, you can never tell with these fraud judges. But it's not like it wasn't a competitive fight.

True man that's how i felt, i knew he would stuff most of the takedowns and his striking is on point. In a five round fight i expected sterling to fade in the later rounds. Then that bullcrap happens

**Allure** · 03-07-21, 12:25 AM

What the penetrate man. Just what the penetrate. That thing should fight men.

Anderson just standing there getting throttled

Holy shit I completely.forgot about that Rivera bout. Trust Hugo to show me up. Your knowledge of this sport is incredible man. Still though, I believe Yan was in a competitive fight tonight.

**Allure** · 03-07-21, 12:27 AM

Nunes vs Ngannou

Dana make it happen

**JIBBBY** · 03-07-21, 12:27 AM

That was a clinic and a joke. Geez.. Over before it started. Deer in headlights..

Please tell me you have something more then this

But it's not just about the cards, it's about the momentum in the fight. Sterling was gassed and couldn't get takedowns. He needed a KO standing or the first DQ in UFC title fight history.

I think yan was a heavy favorite live. Was not competitive at that point of the strike. Sterling was done and sloppy.

I believe sterling would not of even survived till the end of the fight. I think yan would have finished him.

If it were a Technical Decision no, Sterling would win since under this scenario he was winning the rounds. My ideal scenario would be if the fouling fighter is winning, No Contest. If the fouling fighter is losing, Technical Decision.

Yan was -550 at my book before the 4th started.

At the end of the day, it's on Yan to know the basic fuckingg rules of the sport. A mistake like that in a title fight is just so bad.

I understand that. But not giving Sterling the title there due to a illegal strike would be changing the rules on the fly. I think, especially considering the ferocity of the strike, it warranted the ultimate decision

Joe Rogan really good at kissing ass in after fight interviews.
