      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!!

      Many. Expression of Humble or "I never really lost attitude" aren't really a right or wrong question for a fighter.
      Look at Nate Diaz. People like him, not see him as arrogant.
      This Aljo never looked "true self" to me. He always looks trying, acting to look more cool than he actually is.
      Either a fighter is like humble like Stephen Thomson or bad like Nate Diaz, people will respect and like them
      As long as they are not FAKE attitude.
      This guy, when won the belt by illegal knee which is Not his fault, should've just acted happy or angry straight whatever he really felt.
      But he ACTED hurt, crying sad that it ended like and threw the belt, then later that night he was partying with the belt.
      Shows he cares so much about how people see him, and always acting fake.

    Aljo’s career is one that’s only gonna be truly appreciated once it’s over. It took him losing the belt for people to even begin respecting him sadly. But his run post Marlon Moraes loss is actually insane, and his title run post DQ was 3 defenses against nightmare matchups who were all also former champions. The most elite BW had to offer. Styles make fights and you’re not even supposed to win nightmare matchups, yet he defended against 3 in a row

      They can’t stand someone like him being the champion it irks them to no end. His loss is a cathartic process to the masses of haters, like Izzy losses too, it relieves them of the pent up built up hate and at that point of release they can return to a rational state and actually look past Aljo superficial features like his heritage and judge him on the actual content of his character. This is a huge part of the phenomenon we witness and it is a driving force for things like Dana white privilege. Excellence in masculine realms can be highly threatening when you are considered outside of the group. I hope you get me brother. 💪🏿
