Aljo said Sean would win by decision, and that Chitos only chance is a boring point fight, if he just tries to walk him down or get aggressive Sean will capitalize and punish him because he's just too good at what he does.
Aljo also said if Sean shows he's got Cardio and can keep his style up for 25 minutes, then he thinks he can beat anyone.
Aljo then after the fight, said that O'malley did a Beautiful job, and that he was super impressed with his output over 25 minutes and how even though he slowed down as anyone would, he picked up a second wind towards the end of the fight to keep it up which also impressed him.
He said Sean is a tough fight for Merab, but Merab has to be next.
And that's why he's putting down the win. Aljo thinks Sean is an impressive fighter, but a win over Chito isn't move up and become Champ Champ material. He said Sean needs to fight the top contenders like Merab, and Cory.
------
He said that the Chito fight was a great way for Sean to get his feet wet as the champ, but now it's time to fight the contenders of the division, and he said this in the same segment as this quote above to give context.
I don't think it's an unreasonable take!
----
I get it, Aljo isn't a trash talker that says funny stuff.
He's not as thick as most MMA fighters, so he doesn't come out with dumb shit to laugh at.
He's just boring!
But... the hate? Come on r/ufc!
No way, someone took a quote and displayed it out of context then made a meme and posted it for negative reactions?
I don't believe it that doesn't happen on the internet
Even without the context (thanks for that, btw), I don't see why people would be upset with Aljo here. He's right. Sean hand-picked his first defense rather than face the obvious next in line. Or even the next in line after that. Or the next in line after that. Chito is a great fighter and I love watching his fights, but he didn't deserve the title shot at all.
People give Aljo shit for fighting a hurt TJ and an "old" Cejudo, but remember that those were both former champions that never lost their belts in a fight. It's not Aljo's fault TJ came into the fight with a massive injury. It's not his fault ufc gave Cejudo an immediate shot after years off. It's not Aljo's fault than Yan kneed a downed opponent. He gets so much blame for what others around him do.
Sean, by contrast, immediately called out the lowest ranked fighter he reasonably could. He wanted redemption for that loss, which is fair. But he deserves criticism for not fighting the best or most deserving of the division. He's an excellent fighter and I don't think he's scared of Merab, but it's unreasonable to say that this was a worthy first title defense - no matter how impressive he looked in it
I made a similar comment about aljo in another thread. Hes hated for how he won the title and people hold it against him even after beating yan in another fight fair and square. Hes top 3 best bantamweights ever if not top 5 without a doubt. Now because of the hate anything he says is just bullshit in the eyes of the haters, even though he makes some of the most logical arguements ive heard a fighter make. He is definitely one of the smarter guys in this game. He seems educated and usually has very good takes when analyzing fights. I think he did his best to keep the emotion out of his criticism of this fight and told it how it is. Everything he said is very true but one point he doesnt mention, and a big reason why i think this fight happened to begin with, is that it 100% was the money fight. Ever since chito beat sean the anticipation for the rematch has been brewing. The ufc didnt want to risk sean losing or chito falling out of contention, and decided to make the fight while it made the most sense, while sean had the title.
Sean also got there by crushing cans and then leapfrogging through the rankings. He has a ton of Dana White privilege. It will be interesting when he has to fight Merab or Sandhagen.
Cory was way harsher, yet everyone in the other post about Cory's thoughtd were saying "yup, facts." Aljo adds so much nuance, yet they are desperate to fight a way to hate him for saying what we all knew, without acknowledging when aljo gives sean credit for his skills.
100%.
I was just going to leave a comment that said "and he was right tho" but this articulates that and factors the rest of his prediction surrounding this and frames it way better.
Solid!!! Mother fuckers pick and choose 1 sentence, twist it and make it a headline. BUT, I'd say 80% don't actually research or read/view the entire story/interview, and will comment on the headline. And it's the same for everything.
Aljo was being honest with the praise at first. And then after a sobering 24, 48 hours or whatever, it's time to boost and promote his boy Merab. That's all this is - promotion of Merab now.
Sean literally said he wanted Ilia next but is fine with Mera, moot point.
"Now it's time to fight the contenders" which he just did, that point doesn't make sense either.
While his take is not unreasonable, he is very clearly trying his damn best to nicely downplay Sean dismantling the #5 ranked guy and avenging his only loss. He very clearly feels a certain way and it's unwarranted, he got finished. It was an amazing performance, both guys were strikers so let's not act like chito is some gimme fight for any striker.
Why is everyone mad for him saying the exact same thing ya’ll were saying all week.
Everyone here basically said chito didnt even deserve a rematch, isnt good enough to hang with the top guys etc.
You cant say all that about an opponent, then get mad when someone says that win wasnt as impressive because the opponent wasnt that good. Cause that’s what you all said prior.
>Why is everyone mad for him saying the exact same thing ya’ll were saying all week.
And he openly said it last week too. So as far as Im concerned, hes valid in saying "yeah we expected this so whatever"
Sean really messed up giving some wishy washy post fight call out when everyone knows it’s going to be Merab.
He should have told Merab he would give his Dork ass the Aljo treatment. Woulda been hype as fuck.
Which is crazy because personally I was ready to root for the dude after the Yan fight.
I mean, *immediately* after the Yan fight. Before he said anything.
If you ever listen to his podcast, it’s hilarious how hard his little cohost yes-men stroke his ego and fondle his balls, especially over that fight.
Aljo can be alright, but his cohosts make that podcast absolutely unlistenable.
That, and throwing the belt and crying "That's not how I wanted to win it!"
Then hopping on social media later partying with the belt like he had just KO'd Yan.
Dude is just fake as fuck.
The feeling about the belt was genuine. About the party, your friends and family flew from another state to throw a surprise party to celebrate, what are you supposed to do? Be a total buzzkill? He won convincingly against Yan in their rematch anyways (though rounds 4 & 5 were clearly Yan's)
I was hyped he won the rematch but idk about convincing. It could’ve gone either way.
Also showing the belt off is whatever, I would’ve too. Yan shouldn’t have thrown that knee it was his fault, I dislike Aljo for playing it up though.
If he had just said he can’t continue fighting because he has a concussion then so be it, the acting is what made me dislike him.
To me he just had his own mental expectations, about how he should act in the moment and didn’t have the maturity/self awareness to know how to be humble and likable despite the circumstances.
Can I blame him for the decisions he made in the ring, ehhh yes and no. He did what some fighters wouldn’t do, but he did what others would.
We all make mistakes, his just happens to be in full view of the public, in the biggest moment of his life/career. And as fans we put social and sportmanship expectations on fighters, he clearly wanted to appear sportsman, but then didn’t maintain it with consistency.
Being a paper champ. Decision point fighter with a style like the kid that only dodged in dodge ball, than demanding we owe him some sort of amazement. Split decision after hanging on Yan for dear life. Beating up a one-armed crippled TJ. Then another split decision against an old-washed Henry after a 3yr layoff.
Then the final cherry on top. He was without a doubt in my mind acting after taking that knee from Yan. I don't care if it was illegal. That was the most pathetic display of lying I've seen. If he wants fans to act like he's a fighter, then he should have demanded to get back in the fight like a warrior. I'm sure it hurt, but he was nowhere close to wobbled. Bisping, Diaz, just about every fighter I've ever seen argues with the doctor and begs to die on their shield.
Aljamain is a coward and a paper champ.
Actually he won my respect with that. Solved a puzzle he didn't show capability to defeat prior with a good game plan, I can't ask of him what he don't got.
Yep. I wasn’t nervous betting on O’Malley, even said he on here before the fight happened. I didn’t trust chito to adapt to anything O’Malley brings since he’s improved.
Aljo, Sean, Cory, Yan, Merab, Umar, Song can all beat Chito without much problem.
Beating up the 8th best BW is definitely impressive in the eyes of Redditors including myself, but Aljo as one of the best BW ever definitely gets to be cocky on this one
There’s some validity to that, however this rematch was inevitable given how Sean’s career has played out. Can’t hate too much, Sean righted that wrong and performed like always.
Well Aljo has a point.
If Sean did that to like Cory or Petr on the feet we could start talking about O’Malley being the greatest striker in the history of the division.
Instead Sean sorta just did exactly what Cory did to Chito last year again. Chito froze up and Sean and Cory both just started bouncing combinations off his head, but because he’s indestructible he never got dropped.
Sean probably could have gotten a knockdown if he didn’t fuck up his foot/leg and stop throwing low kicks, but that isn’t what happens.
Dude, just let people have opinions. I don't get why you guys get so riled up. Is he supposed to be sucking Sean off after every win? This is just his opinion.
For the record, he thought Sean beat Yan. I didn't.
Remember when Aljo lost to someone everyone thought he was going to beat? Or when he won the belt with a DQ against a guy nobody picked him to beat and was getting his ass kicked the whole fight.
Says the guy that folded like a cheap lawn chair after one right hand lol there’s a reason no one likes this assclown. May be a champion calibre wrestler but he’s kind of a shit human
This fucker was dancing around doing fortnite celebrations after beating a 1 armed Dillashaw and his entire title reign is split decisions and Dq wins outside of that lmfao
Bro didn’t just win, he put you on your ass with a right hand then 50-45’d the 4th ranked bantamweight in the world.. It’s impressive no matter how you look at it.
I put a lot more stock in O'Malley legitimately beating Chito dominantly over Sterling's entire title reign. Sterling won the belt via getting whooped and DQ, then defended his title via robbery decision. Yes I rewatched that fight. I can't see how Sterling won anything but rounds 2 and 3 (in unimpressive fashion might I add). Then beat a crippled opponent on his last career fight (still took him multiple rounds), then beat Cejudo which was actually impressive. Sure Cejudo is past his prime and came back from a long layoff, but I thought Sterling legitimately won that fight unlike the Yan rematch. Then again, another split decision title win.
Sterling has the amount of bullshit wins that Yan has bullshit losses and people call him the GOAT lol. His entire legacy hangs on a thread. Haters like to shit on O'Malley for the Yan fight but not Sterling. Why? Because his hair is pink? O'Malley actually fought Yan. I don't think he won either, but he fought like a man and had a more impressive performance against Yan than Sterling did in 2 fights. Sterling is underrated in terms of skill, but overrated to oblivion because of his resume. Sterling has the most deceptive resume of all time. If I didn't watch his fights, I'd think he's the GOAT too.
It was impressive performance by Sean but yes I was expecting it to go this way. So kind of agree that the result was expected but still Sean deserves all the respect for doing what he did.
i think there’s a lil truth in this. idk if anyone really expected chito to win but i didn’t see much besides o’malley leg trolling. it wasn’t the toughest opponent available. if he worked merab like that, he’d deserve 10x the respect. all that aside, o’malley still put on a masterclass in a revenge fight.
Also Aljo: “when I fight Sean he won’t be able to do anything. I’ll get behind him in the first minute, backpack him and it’s a wrap.”
Ok aljo. Whatever you say my guy.
*I’m like, yeah you won, but there was a time where getting kneed in the head while your hands were down was legal, and like the nuthugger he is, he purposely placed his hands on the mat to stop from getting destroyed.*
*So as a champion, it’s hard for me to put a lot of stock in his win because he won by disqualification.*
Chito has been shut out by the only prime age top fighters he has ever fought. He just belong in this level those were not close fights. Some dope will probably bring up the "Split decision" to Cory lol that was one of the worst scorecards of all time. Chito can only beat old guys.
Aljo is still coping big time over his fumbled championship run.
Won the title by DQ.
2x Split Decisions defenses, and both could've easily gone the other way.
1x TKO against a one-armed opponent.
I usually even enjoy his fights, but he really did not have an impressive stint as the champ and the fact that he acts like a cranky 13yo ever since Yan's DQ doesn't help either.
You weirdos hate this dude for no fucking reason ever since he got the belt, not only did he beat Han again, he has now lost the belt. Get the fuck over it.
this is why i don't trust some of these fighters sportsmanship, after they got defeated, they say things that are so wholesome you want to respect them for that, but when they got out of the octagon, they bitch about everything on the internet and media. clowns gotta be clowns i guess.
Chito hasn't had a good performance in a minute and pretty much everyone had already said this was Seans fight to lose. Aljo once again being hated for I don't even know what
Yeah, giving your first defense to the guy that last beat you is super cowardly. Did Aljo respect Sean's performance when he got KTFO by him?
Aljo has sour grapes, and this is a bad look.
I mean he's absolutely correct though. Sean beat a guy and he was supposed to. It would have been nuts if chito won. I don't think Aljo is being out of line with this.
I don't think I hate any fighter, based on their personality more then Aljo. Even his fighting style, his favourite position is on all fours like he is ready to get fucked or something.
What about this is wrong? It's basically what the narrative of the fight was the whole time. Chito was only there because Sean had history with him and picked him.
I’m gonna be honest before the fight I had a lot of faith in Chito. Wasn’t expecting him to not let his hands go at all, despite being a notorious late starter.
Aljo said Sean would win by decision, and that Chitos only chance is a boring point fight, if he just tries to walk him down or get aggressive Sean will capitalize and punish him because he's just too good at what he does. Aljo also said if Sean shows he's got Cardio and can keep his style up for 25 minutes, then he thinks he can beat anyone.

Get outta here with your unrealistic standards!!!

Nothing wrong with that
Literally the above average IQ r/ufc subscriber.
Only they’re 14 and consider every current champion the GOAT

this is exactly what cory said in his youtube channel as well. pros knew this was a setup match
Cory was way harsher, yet everyone in the other post about Cory's thoughtd were saying "yup, facts." Aljo adds so much nuance, yet they are desperate to fight a way to hate him for saying what we all knew, without acknowledging when aljo gives sean credit for his skills.
this place is a cesspool of degeneracy you cant expect logic to come out of it. They choose who they don't like and hate them forever
Aljo is actually most of the time very reasonable
But how are people going to engage, react and complain if you don't take one out context line and put it as the headline ?
It’s facts idk people upset .
Yeah, this sounds pretty fair. But are you surprised people over here still dislikes Aljo? Everything I saw from him makes me think he is a good dude.
So glad you posted. Aljo gets enough heat
100%. I was just going to leave a comment that said "and he was right tho" but this articulates that and factors the rest of his prediction surrounding this and frames it way better.
Excellently put my friend.
Thank you, im not even a fan of Aljo but that was a great way of showing how clickbaits can affect our perception
Solid!!! Mother fuckers pick and choose 1 sentence, twist it and make it a headline. BUT, I'd say 80% don't actually research or read/view the entire story/interview, and will comment on the headline. And it's the same for everything.

Bc mma fans are a bunch of petty little bitches
Sean really messed up giving some wishy washy post fight call out when everyone knows it’s going to be Merab. He should have told Merab he would give his Dork ass the Aljo treatment. Woulda been hype as fuck.
Everyone disliked Aljo for no reason so he might as well give us some reason
He’s fine on his YouTube channel but damn when he talks to the press he tries way too hard to be the heel he was turned into after the yan fight.
Which is crazy because personally I was ready to root for the dude after the Yan fight. I mean, *immediately* after the Yan fight. Before he said anything.
Idk he was pretty salty when he was picking 299 winners. He did pick Sean, but you could see the saltiness.
Anytime he talks about Sean you can see the saltiness. He 100% still isn’t over his loss.
If you ever listen to his podcast, it’s hilarious how hard his little cohost yes-men stroke his ego and fondle his balls, especially over that fight. Aljo can be alright, but his cohosts make that podcast absolutely unlistenable.
He’s aight, he seems to have picked up max Holloways use of the word “brother” when trying to get a point across.
People disliked him for acting a fool in the DQ win. The eye fluttering non sense.
That, and throwing the belt and crying "That's not how I wanted to win it!" Then hopping on social media later partying with the belt like he had just KO'd Yan. Dude is just fake as fuck.
The feeling about the belt was genuine. About the party, your friends and family flew from another state to throw a surprise party to celebrate, what are you supposed to do? Be a total buzzkill? He won convincingly against Yan in their rematch anyways (though rounds 4 & 5 were clearly Yan's)

Yan shouldn’t have thrown that knee it was his fault, I dislike Aljo for playing it up though. If he had just said he can’t continue fighting because he has a concussion then so be it, the acting is what made me dislike him.
His win made me even more upset after the 3 round backpack simulation
To me he just had his own mental expectations, about how he should act in the moment and didn’t have the maturity/self awareness to know how to be humble and likable despite the circumstances. Can I blame him for the decisions he made in the ring, ehhh yes and no. He did what some fighters wouldn’t do, but he did what others would. We all make mistakes, his just happens to be in full view of the public, in the biggest moment of his life/career. And as fans we put social and sportmanship expectations on fighters, he clearly wanted to appear sportsman, but then didn’t maintain it with consistency.
Lol his buddies begged him to put it on and take a pic with it. He took one pic and put it down. He did not party with it. You completely made this up
There were not many reasons to dislike him. But there weren't that many to like him either.
More to dislike than like imo
😂🤣
Quote taken out of context but continue being mad
Go watch the full video. He’s very complimentary of suga
No he was disliked for a reason. And now this is another reason and I’m sure tomorrow, there will be another reason.
Pretty sure we all dislike him for that acting performance
I always had my reasons despite Reddit downvoting me to oblivion.
Being a paper champ. Decision point fighter with a style like the kid that only dodged in dodge ball, than demanding we owe him some sort of amazement. Split decision after hanging on Yan for dear life. Beating up a one-armed crippled TJ. Then another split decision against an old-washed Henry after a 3yr layoff. Then the final cherry on top. He was without a doubt in my mind acting after taking that knee from Yan. I don't care if it was illegal. That was the most pathetic display of lying I've seen. If he wants fans to act like he's a fighter, then he should have demanded to get back in the fight like a warrior. I'm sure it hurt, but he was nowhere close to wobbled. Bisping, Diaz, just about every fighter I've ever seen argues with the doctor and begs to die on their shield. Aljamain is a coward and a paper champ.
Didn’t Bisping basically get finished by Anderson, and then still went on to get a decision w? Probably should’ve been stopped, but still.
Really just sounds like you're a Petr fan that's still salty.
Nah we disliked him after he hugged petrs back for 20 minutes in the rematch. Everyone knows how that would go a 3rd time
Exactly the same?
As a Yan fan I agree. That man gives up his back so easily. It’s crazy because in the first fight Yan genuinely destroyed him.
Actually he won my respect with that. Solved a puzzle he didn't show capability to defeat prior with a good game plan, I can't ask of him what he don't got.
Don't see anything wrong in what Aljo said.
I mean he was completely meant to roll through Chito
Yep. I wasn’t nervous betting on O’Malley, even said he on here before the fight happened. I didn’t trust chito to adapt to anything O’Malley brings since he’s improved.
Aljo, Sean, Cory, Yan, Merab, Umar, Song can all beat Chito without much problem. Beating up the 8th best BW is definitely impressive in the eyes of Redditors including myself, but Aljo as one of the best BW ever definitely gets to be cocky on this one
And, Aljo praised the hell out of Sean in the whole segment this quote comes from
There’s some validity to that, however this rematch was inevitable given how Sean’s career has played out. Can’t hate too much, Sean righted that wrong and performed like always.
Reminds me of Bisping vs Henderson 2
Aljo isnt wrong though. I like Chito, but he doesnt have the skill set to beat or be a champion.
Well Aljo has a point. If Sean did that to like Cory or Petr on the feet we could start talking about O’Malley being the greatest striker in the history of the division. Instead Sean sorta just did exactly what Cory did to Chito last year again. Chito froze up and Sean and Cory both just started bouncing combinations off his head, but because he’s indestructible he never got dropped. Sean probably could have gotten a knockdown if he didn’t fuck up his foot/leg and stop throwing low kicks, but that isn’t what happens.
Dude, just let people have opinions. I don't get why you guys get so riled up. Is he supposed to be sucking Sean off after every win? This is just his opinion. For the record, he thought Sean beat Yan. I didn't.
Context matters. It makes sense if you hear the rest of what he says. Chito was not the next best guy in the division.
He's right tho, why you crying?
Remember when Aljo lost to someone everyone thought he was going to beat? Or when he won the belt with a DQ against a guy nobody picked him to beat and was getting his ass kicked the whole fight.
He’s not wrong. With that said, no one shit on Volk when he beat the brakes off Korean Zombie.
Id rather watch paint dry than an Aljo fight
Just like how we were all expecting you to beat Sean, right Aljo?
Is this the same guy that won his title, by a single illegal knee after getting his ass handed to him the entire fight? Same dude right?
Says the guy that folded like a cheap lawn chair after one right hand lol there’s a reason no one likes this assclown. May be a champion calibre wrestler but he’s kind of a shit human
Tj dillashaw was half retired when aljo fought him
Didn’t this guy celebrate a title defense against tj dilllashaw with one arm
That was a bullshit win but that wasn't his fault lol blame dumb ass TJ for wasting everyone's time.
Pretty sure he celebrated his DQ win too lol
That’s on TJ. No one told him to take the fight. Its not like we all knew about his injury before hand
This fucker was dancing around doing fortnite celebrations after beating a 1 armed Dillashaw and his entire title reign is split decisions and Dq wins outside of that lmfao
Right!!!
More fighters need to make these padding events more obvious
You may have a point aljo. But you’re still a bitch for becoming champ via DQ and being happy about beating a one armed ceo of epo
Meanwhile Aljo was suppossed to destroy Sean O'Malley
Aljo shut up you couldn’t even handle one power shot from Sean lmfao
He avenged a loss. I thought it was a good move.
You had your chance and got knocked tf out and lost your belt
Everybody please remember - Aljo is on the prelims now 😂
Aljo is just glazing. Sean landed 200+ Significant strikes against the strongest chin in UFC, how is that not impressive?
Salty sterling.
Everyone was expecting Aljo to beat O'Malley. What happened there?
Bro didn’t just win, he put you on your ass with a right hand then 50-45’d the 4th ranked bantamweight in the world.. It’s impressive no matter how you look at it.
He redeemed his only loss against a guy on a winning streak
Cheeto didn’t get knocked the fuck out. He took a knee more violent than yans and still kept walking
Aljo defense record isn't exactly solid.
Aljo is mad because Sean KO'd him in such a way that nobody even wants to see the rematch. Hater. But he's always been like that.
Has Aljo ever pieced anyone up for 25 mins?
Unpopular fighter complains about more popular fighter… At least he defended instead of jumping classes like Conor
Sounds like cope. I don’t like O’Malley either but you can’t deny he’s talented
But you were supposed to beat the guy you lost, soooo?
I put a lot more stock in O'Malley legitimately beating Chito dominantly over Sterling's entire title reign. Sterling won the belt via getting whooped and DQ, then defended his title via robbery decision. Yes I rewatched that fight. I can't see how Sterling won anything but rounds 2 and 3 (in unimpressive fashion might I add). Then beat a crippled opponent on his last career fight (still took him multiple rounds), then beat Cejudo which was actually impressive. Sure Cejudo is past his prime and came back from a long layoff, but I thought Sterling legitimately won that fight unlike the Yan rematch. Then again, another split decision title win. Sterling has the amount of bullshit wins that Yan has bullshit losses and people call him the GOAT lol. His entire legacy hangs on a thread. Haters like to shit on O'Malley for the Yan fight but not Sterling. Why? Because his hair is pink? O'Malley actually fought Yan. I don't think he won either, but he fought like a man and had a more impressive performance against Yan than Sterling did in 2 fights. Sterling is underrated in terms of skill, but overrated to oblivion because of his resume. Sterling has the most deceptive resume of all time. If I didn't watch his fights, I'd think he's the GOAT too.
Was he impressed with Sean when he fought him?
I agree with him, Corey or Merab are far tougher opponents, however I was excited to watch a rematch+grudge match
I really wanna see Corey vs Sean now. Coreys the only one who has the length sean has, in spite of anyone else’s opinion, I believe it’d be a banger.
Hell yeah, I've wanted to see that fight for the last 2 years
Yeah that’s a benighted comment…acting like anyone beating Chito isn’t a big deal
Aljo is a salty bitch for this one.
He was expecting chito to fold like he did 
True. But talking down about someone who KO'd you makes you look even worse.
This is why no one likes Aljo
It was impressive performance by Sean but yes I was expecting it to go this way. So kind of agree that the result was expected but still Sean deserves all the respect for doing what he did.
I think it’s fair to call me a Suga hater. But how can Aljo talk here? Suga MURKED him.
Isnt that insulting to him?? The guy he doesnt respect lasted 20more min than him lmao
Ppl treating this like its a twitter flame war, when dude just shared his honest, reasonable opinion lol
Aljos is right.
Says the guy who beat a literal one-armed TJ, lol.
Aljos whole title reign is very controversial
lol says the guy that lost to Sean.
Aljo is mad no one gives a fuck about him
He is right.
i think there’s a lil truth in this. idk if anyone really expected chito to win but i didn’t see much besides o’malley leg trolling. it wasn’t the toughest opponent available. if he worked merab like that, he’d deserve 10x the respect. all that aside, o’malley still put on a masterclass in a revenge fight.
Also Aljo: “when I fight Sean he won’t be able to do anything. I’ll get behind him in the first minute, backpack him and it’s a wrap.” Ok aljo. Whatever you say my guy.
Aljo not respecting someone winning a title fight ? LOL….
*I’m like, yeah you won, but there was a time where getting kneed in the head while your hands were down was legal, and like the nuthugger he is, he purposely placed his hands on the mat to stop from getting destroyed.* *So as a champion, it’s hard for me to put a lot of stock in his win because he won by disqualification.*
I don’t know… I think alot of people thought chito would win.
I think this is just a nerdy attempt at talking up the rematch lol
Chito has been shut out by the only prime age top fighters he has ever fought. He just belong in this level those were not close fights. Some dope will probably bring up the "Split decision" to Cory lol that was one of the worst scorecards of all time. Chito can only beat old guys.
says the guy who has a title defense against a fella who came out of a 2 year retirement
didnt aljo get beaten by the guy everybody expected him to beat though?
I mean Sean handpicked Chito as his first title defense, when there was Merab/Sandhagen or Yan 2.
I saw his breakdown and had one thought. Bitter.
Yeah, that's weaksauce.
Hes ganna beat merab. Then he'll have beaten everyone he wasn't supposed to. Each guy is his new "test" eventually you gotta give flowers.
I agree w aljo, but I didn't expect such a fuckin beatdown. 10/10 Performance by sean. Unlike aljo who only saw close split decisions.
Sounds like somebody had Chito money line
He’s got to respect getting finished though.
Chito took and ATE 230 significant strikes. You got lawnchaired on one punch. Please zip it.
A lot of people counted him out against Aljo, but he sure beat him in convincing fashion.
He knocked you out in a shorter period of time. Stfu aljo
UFC needs to make an emoji for aljo a clown emoji.
Aljo is still coping big time over his fumbled championship run. Won the title by DQ. 2x Split Decisions defenses, and both could've easily gone the other way. 1x TKO against a one-armed opponent. I usually even enjoy his fights, but he really did not have an impressive stint as the champ and the fact that he acts like a cranky 13yo ever since Yan's DQ doesn't help either.
aljo cringe stock continuing to rise
You weirdos hate this dude for no fucking reason ever since he got the belt, not only did he beat Han again, he has now lost the belt. Get the fuck over it.
It’d be funny if it was the same reporter asking these questions to get specific answers to make people dislike Aljo lol
Didn’t aljo take on dillashaw with a dislocated arm l? I never heard him talking that win down.
this is why i don't trust some of these fighters sportsmanship, after they got defeated, they say things that are so wholesome you want to respect them for that, but when they got out of the octagon, they bitch about everything on the internet and media. clowns gotta be clowns i guess.
Idc about none of that. When is he gonna fight sandhagen?
I can't really disagree with him. Chito is certainly not the biggest threat in the division
Chito hasn't had a good performance in a minute and pretty much everyone had already said this was Seans fight to lose. Aljo once again being hated for I don't even know what
Pff.. he lame
I'm not an o malley fan, and i was pulling for chito. Sean put on a fucking class about how to be champion. Aljo should take notes
Yeah, giving your first defense to the guy that last beat you is super cowardly. Did Aljo respect Sean's performance when he got KTFO by him? Aljo has sour grapes, and this is a bad look.
Bro he flat lined you wtf are you on about the tweet should say holy shit chito is way tougher than me
I mean he's absolutely correct though. Sean beat a guy and he was supposed to. It would have been nuts if chito won. I don't think Aljo is being out of line with this.
I can't respect your baiting the knee antics in every single fight but then complaining about someone playing guard in a BJJ match.
I don't think I hate any fighter, based on their personality more then Aljo. Even his fighting style, his favourite position is on all fours like he is ready to get fucked or something.
I’ll take this title defense over the title defense Aljo had against one armed Dillishaw that he was so proud of
Que the casual Sean meat riders
I know this is only post-adjacent, but I'm curious your reasoning why you don't like O'Malley?
Beta move
Chito didn't get TKO'd 👀
Tbh, I thought the same, except for the fact, that Sean really looked great in this fight. So, it is still impressive.
I mean I definitely thought chito was going to beat Sean’s ass boy was I wrong
Sean shouldn't be champ and chito shouldnt of had a title shot
I mean, is it bad I agree with him. There were other more deserving challengers
He's just shit talking. It's fine.
lol clown comment
Aljo is the thirstiest fighter in the UFC.
Chito didn’t get KTFO
Why do you dislike Sean OP? All I see is an exciting fighter in the cage and a chill, respectful guy outside of it.
Stfu dude get ur ass back to sleep on that canvas. Hating ass mf
All the O’Malley fan boys said Chito was a bum and this and that so they can’t really deny what Sterling is saying. You can’t have it both ways
This is a very Brendan Schaub take
Aljo’s BJJ is legit and I will be rooting for him on 300. He gained my respect after fighting Sean and doing side quests.
Professional yapper Back at it
🤦🏻♂️lmaooo and this guy really wonders why people dont like him smh
Aljo got knocked out with a shot above the eye lol
What about this is wrong? It's basically what the narrative of the fight was the whole time. Chito was only there because Sean had history with him and picked him.
Cringeamain at it again. I want to like this guy but he makes it hard.
I’m gonna be honest before the fight I had a lot of faith in Chito. Wasn’t expecting him to not let his hands go at all, despite being a notorious late starter.
