Another fixed fight by the UFC!!! That was clearly an early stoppage in the main event by paid off Mark Goddard, And the fact that they showed a side-by-side comparison from O’Malley’s “knockout” on Aljo, to Connors against Jose Aldo is just icing on the cake, and in the post fight press conference Aljo literally said,”It’s like a WWE thing.”I’m telling you people who love MMA and the UFC and you sports bet they are literally rigging the fights they are having, so more people lose bets on stupid sports analyst and media tryna throw off the sports betters. There is a reason the UFC made it illegal for their own fighters to bet on fights it’s because they know some of the fights are fixed so they can make a “storyline”… Wake up MMA fans the UFC is not “real sports” but listed under entertainment sad to see the UFC is going down the WWE route so they can make money off the people who don’t know it’s fixed….🙄🙄 Btw not a fan of any person or fighter on planet earth, I’m a fan of God and what the UFC is clearly doing with their fights,rigging it like that is illegal and evil ASF!!

@Thatthar899And so has GSP, DJ, Anderson Silva, Stipe Miocic, DC, Jose Aldo, Connor McGregor etc getting knocked out is apart of the sport. No one is untouchable Sean will get knocked out somewhere down his career and the same will happen to the next champion. The good thing is Aljo has dealt with a knockout loss before so the loss against Sean wont affect him as much as you think. Aljo is still in his prime so like he said, don't be surprised when you see him fighting for UFC gold again, because Aljo is getting a rematch whether its immediate or not, its inevitable.
I love how the crowd started out booing him, but he won them over with his character. Dudes a class act. Hope he recovers strong and we see him again soon

Respectful and honest, showing real integrity.. just minutes after getting cracked by O'Malley, he's assessing his mistakes and talking about reassessing his move up in wt... you just don't see a lot of fighters with that kind of insight and wisdom, especially not at that emotional moment.

This is how a real man handles defeat. Head up. Keep pushing. You'll always be a Champion.
This is a amazing post fight interview to be this calm and humble after getting knocked out is super impressive.
To also hear that Sean had a terrible camp shows just how focused he had to be in the cage. Stayed calm, patient, and executed.

Very respectful and humble post fight and in the post fight presser. Kudos to him.
Pure class. That's how a Champion conducts themselves. Aljamain Sterling, fantastic representative of the sport!
Not often you hear such honestly after a loss. He has character, I respect him for that.
Truly inspiring to witness a real and humble champion handling their loss with such grace and sportsmanship. It takes tremendous character to accept defeat with dignity and to acknowledge the efforts of their opponent. This individual embodies the true essence of what it means to be a champion, showing us that winning is not solely defined by victories, but by the way we conduct ourselves both in victory and in defeat. Their resilience, humility, and unwavering spirit serve as a powerful reminder that true champions are not defined by their wins alone, but by the way they handle setbacks. Admirable in every sense, they have earned the respect and admiration of fans and competitors alike. A role model for all aspiring athletes, this champion's legacy will forever be etched in the annals of sports history.

@davidkim2016 We all show our truest selfs in times of adversity and failure, and Aljo has remained genuine and humble through a fair defeat.

He is a great fighter no doubt but he is super cringe that's why he gets so much hate. Now he got humbled and hopefully act better

I wanted Sean to win, and I'm so happy he did but I have nothing bad to say about Aljo right now. I wasn't a fan after what he pulled in the first Yan fight but since then he's beaten everyone they put in front of him and I won't lie he kind of grew on me over time, but nothing garners respect like handling a defeat with class as he did here. Sean gave him his respect in the build up and it's cool to see him reciprocate it.
