Fuck ratings. Yan has never drew a damn dime. Give the Funkmaster his fucking dues. He's earned his title shot. Win or lose, he earned it like a fighter. Let's go Aljo. We love you man.
I always thought the UFC was not interested in him so much. Finally the bantam weight division acknowledged him as the next guy up for the title, so the UFC has to promote him..
How could you not respect this guy, If you know anything about the techniques of the game, you would’ve already respected the talent. This documentary definitely gives you a different side of the guy though, hopefully this at least makes people respects him.
@@DDarkness Neither are you considering your reply. The fact that you even decided to reply with something as negative as that after such a heart warming story shows a lot about yourself gentleman.
Wow, that was deep. Props to Aljo for what he's endured and how far he's made it. And also hats off to the production team here. That shot by the end of the plate rewinding and being back together gave me goosebumps.
The domestic violence part with his mom calling his name made my hairs stand up.... This man is such an inspiration, from humble beginnings and good role model. UFC you guys need to promote this man more!
Hope this is a sign that they're giving Aljo the shot at Yan and will make EPOsnake fight Sandhagen or Edgar. Sterling certainly deserves it and has gotten ignored for too long due to fighting management for more money.
He’s already guaranteed to fight petr but petr had some visa issues so they had to reschedule the fight and sandhagen and Edgar are scheduled to fight each other so idk who will fight TJ now
@@williamkjellstrand5280 Cruz already has a match with Casey Kenny on March 6 so I don’t think Cruz will fight him but font looks like the only option for TJ RN
Aljo! You’re the man! I hope every kid in Uniondale, Hempstead, Roosevelt, and Freeport see’s this. I hope it creates hope in there lives. I hope it puts a smile on there face. I hope their dreams don’t seem as far away from them. I’m glad to have met you, glad to be able to support you. You’re an inspiration, even now when I’m 27! You’re the Champ! Undisputed! Always!
I’ve always like Aljo ever since I saw his first fight in the UFC and I even picked him as a dark horse to be a future world champion. That said, I didn’t know this story about his past, and now I like him even more. I wish him nothing but good fortune going forward. Go get’m Aljo!
@@NicolaMaxwell lol ok you got me. at one point, with the music building and this personal insight into his past (on top of already being a fan of him as both a fighter and a human, cause he seems cool as hell), it got dusty in here lol
We all have bad memories some worse then others but the wheels keep spinning and candle Keeps melting away as time is not on our side. Make the best out of urself while time is ticking.
Grew up the same way Aljo... hearing your voice get softer the more you talked about your dad and what he did made me tear up because I witnessed the same things growing up. I hope you get the belt this weekend Aljo! You definitely deserve it brother ✊🏿
WOW I'm in tears! I was an Alj fan before but NOW I totally love this guy! I was seriously beat up and told I was worthless too as a little kid so I definitely feel his pain. It stays with you, you know, it's hard. But you gotta fight it. I'm from LI too so now I feel like he could be my brother. We love you Aljamain! Now get in there and kick some serious arse!
Watching a video one day and a kid came in while I was watching an interview of Aljo about 4 years back. He said damn bro you have no idea who he is what he's come from and where he's going. Was a friend of his growing up and said one day he'll be champ. Its about to happen and nobody deserves it more. Nothing but the best for Aljo. He deserves it and more.
I've always liked Aljamain as a fighter, and i always like when a fighter turns out to be worth investing your time in, he is worth his weight in gold in that case.
It's easier for kids to 'lose' their accent when they move to a new country, much harder for adults which explains the difference we see between Aljo & his mom so i dont see what the big debate is all about here this is just logic lol youtube ppl will fight over anything, yes there are instances where adults change their accents to better fit in e.g Trevor Noah, been in the U.S for 2 minutes but already throwing away his south african accent, comes with the territory i guess.
@@msizinkosi3481 you mean difference between Aljo and his mams is, he born and bred American. She from Jamaica. He never had the accent to begin with. That's basically like half the black population in NY, probably 40-50% of blacks in NY of Jamaican heritage.
Shit brings me back to my oldest, earliest memories of childhood. Aljo, and all y'all fighting......keep on Fighting. Find your way!!👊. Thanks for sharing Aljo
The production team has given us an incredible, first-rate documentary with such a well put together cast! What an amazing story! We’re honored to know several of the cast members, the DeBerrys and Coach Havener, and they each did an outstanding job! Mr. Aljamain Sterling’s tests have become testimonials!
Finally the UFC showing Funk some love. Long overdue....and new! Much respect always to him for doing it the right way and being a positive role model form men of color.
😭💪😁Was a fan before , now I feel like he’s my brother . I had a rough childhood myself . I love how mentally tough he is and what he’s accomplished! What a stud !👏👏👏👏👏💪
Much respect, others who face abuse in their child hood use it as an excuse to ruin their own lives .. sterling motivated and humble.. GOD has you in his hands ..
Now UFC is starting to make fighters emotional biography for promoting the fight And if he loses the fight UFC cuts him DANA WHITE: I am here for business I don't care about yours story.
Call me crazy but I think if Aljo were to move up he'd stylistic nightmare for Khabib. World class wrestling, power in both hands, granite chin, and the heart of a lion. I think he's gonna be a champ for sure. He's also smart and has mad charisma
Wow what a terrible life for a child. To see him rise above and become a good man is awesome good for him he deserves it. I have always been a fan of the fighter Aljamain Sterling now iam a fan of the man Aljamain Sterling.

I already liked aljamain but now even more and a lot more respect
Same here. I hope he becomes champ!
exactly what I was thinkin
I know right!? This was hard to watch
Lots of kids lived this life and worst i know a young lad whom I'm sure would destroy his weight devision
Damn why they gotta do this, really likeable guy and he had a hard life, ots going to make it worts on me when he gets put to sleep by the champ
Fuck ratings. Yan has never drew a damn dime. Give the Funkmaster his fucking dues. He's earned his title shot. Win or lose, he earned it like a fighter. Let's go Aljo. We love you man.
I agree but your wrongs about the Yan part as he has a big Russian following
@@Daniel-wq8oo Not that big. Aljo has just as much support
@@Daniel-wq8oo plus isn't mma bigger in Russia then America.
@@tompossessed1729 you would be surprised how many Russian fans he has it is very big
@@tompossessed1729 yes it is
UFC giving Aljo some promotion? I love it

Finally he’s getting some promotion
I almost can't believe that marlon koed him
“Promotion”? Yo chill. U should’ve watched the video first.
Amen! Aljo deserves that title shot!!!

YOOOO. a round of applause for the ufc keeping us entertained with these videos when there’s no events
I’ve always like Aljo ever since I saw his first fight in the UFC and I even picked him as a dark horse to be a future world champion. That said, I didn’t know this story about his past, and now I like him even more. I wish him nothing but good fortune going forward. Go get’m Aljo!

Always came off like a genuine good dude. Will be rooting for him
Can’t wait to see this man fight for the title
Same here!!!
He’s the champ now 😀
@@gianlucaylucho1844 I didn’t see the fight but I saw there was some fucksry goings on so I see the irony in my comment 😂😂
@@gianlucaylucho1844 hes not a real champ tho he needs to beat yan for real
Who was thinking the story would end with aljo going home and whooping his dad after a state competition?
Everybody has demons to fight...to overcome...to vanquish. I am so glad that he overcame those odds. God Bless The Entire Sterling family.
Grew up the same way Aljo... hearing your voice get softer the more you talked about your dad and what he did made me tear up because I witnessed the same things growing up. I hope you get the belt this weekend Aljo! You definitely deserve it brother ✊🏿
Huge props to Aljo for overcoming and achieving. He earned his title shot one punch at a time. Best video the UFC has produced in a long time.
WOW I'm in tears! I was an Alj fan before but NOW I totally love this guy! I was seriously beat up and told I was worthless too as a little kid so I definitely feel his pain.

Same situation with my mom, dad and me, I feel for your pain. That's what made us stronger and better men.
I've always liked Aljamain as a fighter, and i always like when a fighter turns out to be worth investing your time in, he is worth his weight in gold in that case.
DO MORE OF THIS UFC! We love these athletes for all the hardened, violent entertainment they bring but they're people too. Not just meatbags!
Thank you for sharing Aljamain. That was beautiful. That's a champ right there.
Give this man his title shot ! More deserving than anybody in that weight class and will be a great champion
This did not age well..great champ? Nah paper champ
1 year later...
I love this guy. I love him even more after watching all of this. His grappling is elite, I can definitely see him submit Yan
Lol
I’m routing for sterling so much harder now what a fighter he is! Truly amazing and inspiring
Who black mailed Dana into marketing Aljo for once lol.
i love how aljo mom still have a Jamaican accent
Lot of Jamaicans lose their accent because they’re trying to blend it with the US people
Can’t lose mines they can’t understand the standard English then I don’t speak. Not losing my JA accent for ntn🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

This is beyond motivating. What a story Aljamain. Congratulations!
MAN no one can break this man he got something to prove
Marlon broke him 😂😂
@@jojachow except Aljo changed and is now fighting for the title. Marlon failed against Cejudo and is now out of the picture

This is not a career, this is an opportunity..
@@syed9986 well i mean that is silly to say when this is literally how they make their money. It is a career just not a smart one.
That's their story. Period.
I bet you aljamain wants people to know more about him and his childhood. Dont see it so negative of course the ufc wants to promote their fighters
Getting the fans emotionaly invested is the best way to sell anything.
True warrior in life! Respect Aljamain! RESPECT!
Damn I already liked Alja but after this I respect him even more. I would love to see him win the belt !
UFC getting ready to give this man a title shot. They don't promo and hype for no reason.
big big fan of aljo, he should've had that shot against Yan over Aldo before. He needs this title
Much love aljamain... get that belt for your family. You got this. Don't ever blame yourself for that horrible moment.
Call me crazy but I think if Aljo were to move up he'd stylistic nightmare for Khabib. World class wrestling, power in both hands, granite chin, and the heart of a lion. I think he's gonna be a champ for sure. He's also smart and has mad charisma
aljo walks around at 140-150 khabib walks around 180-190... plus he’ d move to featherweight not light weight
@@tonydavis5032 Aljo probably walks around closer to 155. He just wouldn't need to cut weight. I think he would backpack him and strangle him to sleep
@@sandman62100 and khabib walks around 190+ and cuts to LW
P4P aljo might be better but size does matter.
Fantastic man.
Aljo ..
There's a lot of us rooting for you. ..you're not alone my brotha.
God Bless... 🙏
I met Aljo at an event, super nice guy and waited to take pictures with everyone
Glad to see sterling getting some attention. All class
AND NEWWW UFC CHAMPION!!!
Man i didn't think i could respect aljo any more than i already do but damn this man been trough it all
Grate fighter all that hard work pays off in the end
My whole look at Sterling has changed
about time the UFC made a video like this
Wow what a terrible life for a child. To see him rise above and become a good man is awesome good for him he deserves it. I have always been a fan of the fighter Aljamain Sterling now iam a fan of the man Aljamain Sterling.
this was the best video ufc put out in a long time!
Future champ. Future Hall of Famer. Stick with it Aljamain!
Aljo's younger brother looks 10 years older than him.
An inspiration, a leader, a man. Let's go Aljo!
That was incredible!
How can you not love this guy?! Wish him ALL the best!
The people who disliked this are Aljamain fathers friends
I never knew much about Aljamain, but this is incredible. All the best to him!
Aljo is next up I can’t wait for his fight against Yan 💪🏼
