I admit, I have never liked Sterling but... has he always come out as Jamaican? I thought he was American?

It doesn't matter at all, that just seems off to me.

Edit: Sterling absolutely got in Yan's head. I have never seen him fight so aggressive. Don't know if it is going to cost him, but he clearly hates Sterling and is more intent on trying to land something on him, than simply winning a round.

what the fuck is Yan doing?

He almost gave him his back AGAIN.

So this all depends on if they gave Sterling 10-8's. If he got two, he wins even if he loses the other 3. If he got 1 I would say its a draw. If he got none, he loses 3-2.

I think Yan forgot he's not actually the champion and judges always favor champions in decisions. He looked like shit. I'd be surprised if it doesn't go to Sterling.

Yeah, letting himself get backpacked twice, and being super reckless and almost giving it away in the 4th isn't a great look.

Edit: I would like to see the scorecards, but that reads like they gave Aljo 1-3, which is the least likely way I thought he would win this fight.

The challenger didn't clearly dominate round 1 which means it went to the champion.

We'll see what the scorecards say, but I would give 1st, 4th, and 5th to Yan (even with him fighting a stupid fight). I would give 2nd and 3rd to Sterling, but I don't think either of those was a 10-8 because he didn't have any effective striking and never came close to sinking in a choke.

'To be the champ, you have to beat the champ' is bullshit, score every fight the same. Sterling did not win round 1 by any stretch of the imagination.

*edit*

seeing it was 2 48-47s vs a 47-48 which means no 10-8s, two judges gave round 1 to Sterling.

Giving the champ benefit of the doubt in some situations makes sense to me. Doesn't change points or rounds. I'd give Yan 1,4,5 too.

And sterling wasn't champ. He should have left the belt in the octagon last year

Nobody needs the benefit of the doubt, if the round is a draw then score it a draw.

He's not a championship level fighter in the UFC, his corner should not let him go back out.

I am just repeating myself here, but he obviously didn't earn this shot, and he isn't a contender in today's FW. His trademarks are still present at least, hits hard, keeps going through an ass beating. But yeah, he never stood a chance here.

On the plus side, his defensive wrestling has improved. Thanks Cejudo!

Volkanovski should ease back on that 'too fucking good' shouting seeing as how Holloway was completely robbed by that split decision in their rematch.
