savege😎

He may really go deeply to sleep in the rematch lol.
@@bohrora2293 talkinh about starling ...?
ez win for sterling, and NEW
The best thing to come from this is that they will get more viewers and eyes on them from fans who r and will be more emotionally invested in the rematch .
Exactly main event
yan was dominating the match and sterling was gassing out, I don't think anything will be different again if they fought again. Yan just needs to follow the rules and its over.
I agree, in hindsight, blessing in disguise and Dana milk this fight to a main event in sep/oct most likely
@@strikeout77777 rules are #1
That's actually true
Took the name "no mercy" too literal.
FINISH HIM haha
If he dies, he dies
that's what I like about petr yan, literal straight cold killer, like the way he ground and pound aldo in the last minute and you could hear the head of aldo crack like a coconut.
Lmfao
@@ShadowBlack54 Hahaha
Takedowns:
1/17 - Sterling
7/7 - Yan
Sterling was over exited a bit. Next time will be different.
DQ:
0- Serling
1/1- Yan
Yeah sterling looked jittery all fight. So sad he got a free belt after the performance yan was having
@@daved5683 hahaha sure
@@strangeman9362 🙏🏽
I know what he done was illegal but holy smokes, the domination. Yan is a beast, sterling had nothing for him
Yup, fighters like Sterling, Mcgregor are so dangerous in the first round and Petr took that round. Sterling couldn't even take him down, Petr the boxer took him down like 10 times. Levels, aljo has nothing for Petr.
even tho it was illegal, you gotta realize that Yan cant speak english and his team probably werent aware of the rules since mma out of the united states has different rules
@@mankreto weren’t aware of the rules? He’s a ufc champion. Downright embarrassing that u don’t know that u can’t knee the head of a downed opponent 😂
@@mattbart6882 Sterling was ranked #1 in the weight class and layed on the ground the entire fight like a baby waiting for a diaper change. Top notch competition.
@@mattbart6882 watch the clip, his leg was barely down when he was kneed. He was transitioning, you clearly has no fight IQ and think it’s easy to stop these things in the heat of the moment. Try fighting once in your life before you talk big on TH-cam 🤡
I was extremely confused to hear yan was winning by a point. I though yan was picking him apart
The fix was in. they were going to try and Rob Peter if it went the distance, Peter just gave them the perfect excuse.
No confusion, just terrible judging as is usual.
@@JohnLennon-yg4ut conspiracy theorists are morons.
You fit the bill.
Sterling was fading fast. He was stumbling around the ring. All Yan had to do is to continue with his game plan and it was over.
First 2 rounds were close in terms of striking. I feel the picking apart began from round 3 when Aljo gassed out.
It's clear that Petr broke him mentally. Aljamain looked so confused and discouraged after R2.
He was gassing out from his pace he put out
Dominant performance for Yan tonight; shitty ending.
Yes but i hope yan come backs more stronger
Im just excited for the rematch
@El Cucuy you're absolutely wrong then lol
@El Cucuy it was absolutely dominant. What did Sterling do? Other than 2knees in the first round what did he do?
@El Cucuy you clueless then my man
Bruh Aljimain said Yan was a fake champ but he just became the most illegitimate champ of all time.
Lol literally.
Well no
@Dylan Milloy They need to fight again.
Despite the fact that until the foul he was dominating, and had won every round, yeah.
God, you don't half get some dimwits watching these fights.
@Dylan Milloy yeah but still to win the title by DQ is not a real champ that’s why there gonna fight again
To those saying you shouldn't be able to win a championship in the event of a DQ, what then stops a champion from purposely disqualifying himself when he's in danger of losing the match? "I'm losing, time to start nut kicking."
OKAY BUT IT THIS CASE YAN WAS MAULING STERLING
@@calvincalvin3132 I’m pretty sure it was a split decision
@@titusneeley1049 - ?? sorry?
@@titusneeley1049 no it was not he was way ahead

3:26 "...If he thinks he can wear that belt for a fight like that, then... (shrugs shoulders). But if he is really willing to defend the belt, then I am ready whenever you tell me". That's what Petr said, interpreter skipped that part.
Another Russian-speaking commenter in the post-fight press conference said the translator completely butchered several of Yan's answers. That translator is a detriment to the Russian fighters. They should all have Khabib as their translator instead. :P
Petr was too long winded. It was impossible to translate what he said.
@@HaHaroni nope, pretty possible tbh, Yan speaks clearly without any lisping
@@vanderdik7185 That's not the problem. If you talk for a couple minutes between breaths, no translator can handle all that information.
For me it felt like he was winning the fight until that illegal knee
It doesn't matter at the end rules are rules
He was absolutely dominating that round and certainly going to win. Sterling was downed and basically defenseless and gassed. That’s why he was in that position in the first place
He will win the rematch.. seemed like the better fighter..
Lmfao you think??? He was a -4000 live betting favorite heading into round 4
He's was just getting started. He would've finished Aljo eventually.
Aljo wins by Vicious Knee to the Head😂
Hahahaha your not wrong tho😂😂😂
Jesus🤣
Well yes, but actually no.
by eating* 🤣
Or via head butting the knee🤷🏻♂️😉
Petr Yan was Cold Blooded in that octagon. An absolute Tiger
He as lucky that sterling was over exited
I think you mean a Cobra...... COBRA KAI NO MERCY
@@daved5683 lmao you guys are so delusional it's ridiculous
@@Udai_taxim na he's right
@@Udai_taxim Sterling shot his load too early. He was far too excited. Yan is going to get beaten by a hard hitter. Sterling was touching him..just not hard. A hard-hitter is sleeping Yan.
Yan was beating him everywhere, in striking in wrestling in conditioning everywhere
U forgot rule breaking
@@scure8931 still was beating him everywhere.
Yan is absolutely stud! He will win rematch for sure.
Yan: I'm coasting to this title defense.
Sterling: I'll hold your knee.
*eat
Sterling:knee my face I'm off the base
Yan: can I kick him?
His corner: YES!
Yan: throws a knee to the head instead.
Can you kick a downed opponent? I know you can when they have a flat back and you’re standing but if someone’s knee is down can you knock their head off with a headkick? If so yea haha yan should’ve blasted him with a kick. Poor discipline on the knee ):
@@Mythowars you cant kick the head of a down opponent.
@@ketlover69xx62 ok thought so
@@Mythowars you can’t kick his head but he could’ve kicked to the body or anything else
If you can kick the head, you can knee the head, they’re interchangeable
I feel like neither of them should have walked away with title. There is no way you can consider Aljo the legitimate champ regardless of the foul, Yan should’ve been stripped for the illegal knee.
ALJO called him the paper champ and made himself one.
Vacant title
Lol dude it isn’t the most honorable way to win but we’re talking about a sport in which a knee to a downed opponent could end your career. The brain damage and neurological damage is very real. The loss of speed and reaction and thought processing can significantly slow with one hit to a human beings head.
Aljo didnt make the unified rules buddy....
Doesnt work like that man.. do u know mma? Or u just think your opinion sounds great??
So why has Jon jones a loss in his record? When jones was obviously viciously massacring the guy? Cause Jin was Desqualified and the win to the other side, i can understand that Sterling has a belt now that he didnt win inside the cage, but truth be said, Yan gave up his belt when he was shouting at his corner " i cant blow him now with knee?"
And his corner told him " go ahead. Of course u can"
Khabib snitched on yans corner
He was trying to explain that it wasn't Petr's fault.
@@JohnSmith-cm4zy of course it was
His manager Ali will be so proud :)
Stupid comment
Lmfaoo idk y I laughed at this so hard, the Eagle snitching is just funny to think about😭😭
All the people here saying "Yan kneed him on purpose and "that was intentional" WHY?? Why on earth would he intentionally knee him? I understand if he was losing the fight badly, but he was winning.. what would have been his motivation to use an illegal knee, and gt DQ'd? doesn't make sense.
Fighters and Ref meet before the fight and discuss rules with translators. Ref shouts GROUNDED Yan pushes his head down has him in the position for 10 seconds and blasts him with a knee. Smells Intentional to me
He intentionally threw the strike. Maybe he didn't realise it was illegal, but he still threw the knee. Shitty way to end it, Sterling shouldn't be champion
Looks like a brain fade to me
His cornerman the English speaking one said “punch just punch” then some one spoke in Russian yam replied to him and then boom illegal knee. Was it intentional yes. Did he know if it was legal or illegal, no and neither did his Russian speaking corner man. Very classy on Yan for not making a bs excuse. And Sterling needs to win that belt in a more convincing manner .
He is just stupid, next training camp should consist of the rules of mma....
Interviewer: "from your perspective what happened, and is it true your corner told you it's ok to knee sterling on the ground?"
Piotr Yan: "I illegally kneed aljo on the ground, lost my title, but it's my fault, not the corner's fault."
Putin: "get me the name of piotr Yan's corner man, and some novichok."
Well, he deserves the lost from that illegal moves but sterling does not deserved the belt after all that beating.
It should be on the ref. not the fighter to stop the fight, so the fighter doesn't get heat.
Yeah but if the champion doesn't lose his belt from DQ then when ever a champion is losing a fight they will just get themselves DQ
It was all up to the ref, and sterling was very disappointed he even through the belt on the floor saying he didn’t want to get the belt like that
The knee was vicious, and even if it wasn’t Stirling had nothing left in the tank. He couldn’t have continued
It’s Yan’s fault for being a UFC champion and not knowing the rules.
THANK YOU!!!
Exactly illegal knee no doubt I still don’t think he understand the rules he won every round as everyone could see he is the better fighter and stronger
Absofuckinglutely
its a dumb rule tho. like when job jones got dq for throwing a 12-6 elbow
Lol for real
This event has been a real wwe event
I said the same exact thing
Ufc is fake and aljo is coward
he lost that's his fault, just like jon Jones who lost by illegal elbows
@@gmartines8511 those elligal elbows by Jon were nowhere near to this. The ref for Jones definitely screwed him over And I’m not even a Jon jones fan.
Surprised he didnt hit him with the steel chair lol
reporter:how quick do you want to rematch
yan: foreign speaking something about yesterday
Haha, that's all I understood too.
Lol he said “yesli” which means if, close sounding though haha
Al was losing
All the worse Yan threw it
Losing is not the correct word for that 😂😂
Petr is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters to watch. Unfortunate ending here. He had it in the bag.
Dudes a beast
He’s got that killer instinct

I guess my prediction of sterling winning was right then lol
😂😂😂😂
Same!
Terrible ending, Yan was gonna win that fight impressively.
who's fault was that lol
@@nickdreezy2457 Aljo still fake champ though 😂
He actually finished it impressively xD
That knee was insane. One of the most obvious illegal shots ever
How? Dude had one foot flat and not a single finger on the ground. Maybe it wasn't a morally perfect strike...but it was absolutely technically perfectly legal (when it comes to the rules).
He didn't seem too sorry about it either. The whole thing was pretty disappointing. He was winning the fight but he hadn't damaged Sterling significantly and there was still plenty of time left.
@@whotelledyou5701 stop acting like you know stfu he did it on purpose bro the Referee said he was down and he still kneed him
Stop crying it’s fighting he was winning until he hit Sterling with the knee
Referees can be wrong lmao
The translator left part of the last answer: "If Aljo want keep this belt then... But if he want to fight for the real belt, I'm ready anytime."
Seriously where do they get these guys.
Aljo needs to work on his game plan as well as on his acting.
Triple C needs to come back to restore order
He would get killed by Yan
He should get fight vs Volskanovski

You salty 🤡🤡 mayb throw a legal knee
You’d still be sleeping
illegal knee

Cant wait to see him return.
Yan zero damage, sterling wanted out, quit, acted and cried like a baby, most embarassing thing I have ever seen in UFC
OYYYYYYYYY BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Russians are a scary bunch😂 DQ or not... the guy dominated that fight in every aspect... by the looks of it the actor he fought has no stand up
if he dominated why did he throw an ILLEGAL KNEE 😂

Petr “Cobra Kai” Yan
Why isn’t this comment at the top🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Knee the head.... you got a problem with that?”
“No sensei”
no mercy. Yan executed him
NO MERCY
“Strike First Strike Hard No Mercy” ~Sensei Petr Yan
Aljo seemed like he was completely out of it in the 4th round looked like a completely different person
He was mentally broken, as the fight progressed Yan was on the incline and Aljo was on the decline. Yan is just on another level
Sterling was exhausted before he got the knee . Yan was the fresher and I felt would have went on to win . The knee helped sterling to bail out .
so sad man, he was executing his plan defending and attacking very sharply and the takedown defenses was on point. sterling has to comeback asap to prove he's worthy to be champ. Petr Yan is unmatchable in my opinion.
Cody when focused, TJ, and Cejudo all beat him. Cruz also gives him a run for his money.
@@larry3d4Gudatnation He finishes Cody with ease. Dillashaw and Cejudo are real challengers though. Cruz? Stop.
Yan gave aljo a beating but made a mistake. They’ll fight again and Petr will win.
Did anyone else feel like Aljo milked it so he could just take the dq?
You are the baddest man in that division and still the champ in the public eye. Hold your head up and be patient until you get a rematch with that clown and knock him out that time.
Peter is a Monster...he will definitely demolished coward sterling in rematch
Coward? lol I bet if u took that knee to the face you probably wouldn't want to fight either

Lol 😂
Not a single scratch on Yan's face. And totally dominated a savage like Sterling.
Man, these Russians are so freaking powerful.
Petr is the real champ he was killing Sterling they need to run it back
Aljamain gonna lose that belt so quickly to Dillashaw
@@goodkrypollo1706 how tf is sterling going to fight dillishaw next when he has to fight petr

@@markydan1232 I partially agree.
But then Yan would probably fight for the striped title no?
So hypothetically if a champ is losing, they could throw fights then hope to win the belt back in the next fight? I don't like that.
Aljamain "Remy Bonjasky" Sterling
The ref told him he was grounded but Petr couldn't understand what he was saying. Same with the Aldo fight ref warned him multiple times about his outstretched fingers but he wasn't getting it.
Maybe because he can't speak english, imagine someone telling you "gshfjhldvs" would you sit there and decode 🤣🤣
YAN POUND FOR POUND THE GREATEST FIGHTER OUT THERE! LISTEN TO WHAT THE JUDGES SCORES? THATS CRAZY
He's protecting his corner team. It was quite clear you can see him looking over and why would Khabib make something like that up?
Either way yan should know the rules.
@@MFBOOM100 literally no one said he shouldn't
Petr fought beautifully tonight. The fact that he was calm the whole time and was able to dominate the fight so easily shows what a great fighter this guy is. He doesn’t need to be dirty to win. Sterling already lost the fight the moment he felt this guys power (hence) the wild swings and unnecessary spinning Hail Marys
Peter “no mercy, If he dies, he dies” yan
Random note: I’m a Russian speaker and have watched a lot of Pete’s interviews - the translator has been on point with his translations even with the long winded answers - and this isn’t always the case with others.
Yan is protecting his corner, Khabib heard them instruct him. Obviously Khabib knows Russian
Which interview that Khabib heard the instructions?
@@DominicBallesteros he told them during the fight. He told Cormier who was announcing the fight and explained it live
@Todd Lerfahndler most likely the latter. Yan seems honorable, I don't think he'd throw his coach under the bus like that
@@michael43567 He is so honorable to throw an obvious 100% intentional illegal knee that could end someones career lmao
@@Nebrophonus93 he was in the heat of battle and he apologized for it. I know it was illegal but maybe don’t sit there on your hands and knees during a fight. If this was real life fight in the wilderness with no octagon rules, Petr Yan would have killed him
Aljo has to defend the belt against Yan to make the belt "legitimate" (whatever that means).
That being said people who are saying that you shouldnt be able to win a belt off a DQ are WWE fans.
Regardless of whether he was hurt enough to not continue, smart move from Sterling. He was losing. Throw this fight then focus on the rematch
He was definitely losing but it was clear that he couldn't continue. Sterling could hardly stand without help he was definitely not faking that damage.
Not really,... most mma fans, especially casuals will see the stupid acting for what it is,.. and he will loose a sh..t ton of face after this,... fighting isn't just winning,its also winning views,... and no one wants to see a person who milks an injury
@@user-gu3ie i mean he just looked too emotional. I think the fact that he was to tired from spinning around the whole fight, the knee's effect and he probably knew he didn't win in the right way, that's my pov anyways. His corner was so weird telling him to keep doing what he was doing when he was just getting tired and being blasted in the face
@@lenny8511 only he knows if he was faking. I was backing him to win. For me it looked like he milked it a bit. He seemed more tired than hurt.
@@user-gu3ie haha perfectly said. He milked his injury it was so obvious! Acting act at its best he deserves a academy award for it.
Took it like a real champ, I see him coming back and winning the title once again
Lmao he said ”I didn’t see his third leg”😂😂😂
Are you 9?
@@jackmehoff5541 what does it mean?
I want a post fight interview from the judge who scored this 4-0 for Sterling before the disqualification
i know right? like watafak, he threw him around lika a training dummie n stuff
Deserved to lose for the illegal knee
Sterling was gassed... such a weird defensive stance from him.. head down, 1 knee on the ground looking down? thats strange... but Yan should have unleashed some big hooks on his temples...
Buddy threw the one stroke that would get him dqd. Aljo should tweet thanks for the belt chump
Petr "GET OVER HERE" Yan
The real question is, why didnt he apologize at all?
the real question? nobody gives af..
Someone ask been askren if that’s how he got up when masvidal kneed him
lmfao 😂😂!!
It was an illegal knee. However, Aljo was gassed, I think he couldn't continue because of that, not because of the knee.
I‘d like to see u with a fresh tank eat such a knee then continue. Lmao
Aljamain Sterling should also be given an oscar for great skill in acting although he is not that level of Petr Yan in mma.
Petr, is a beast. I think it was just a slip of the mind.
He'll be back.
Good introduction for new fans to one and only Petr "No Mercy" Yan. While Sterling was wobling and looking to quit on his knees basically, Yan was smiling almost every time he got hit.
Adesanya isn't taking Jones after this. Jones wrestles even better than Jan
He knew he wasn’t going to beat Jones. Only his worshiping fans thought otherwise, and even they probably know better now
He just went 5 rounds with the guy that knocked out the guy that Jon struggled with. That was also his first try at the weight and he barely lost. By your logic Jan would beat Jones. It’s not so simple
@@Byokku2013 mma math doesn't work, you're definitely new here. Styles make fights.
@@michael43567 You’re making my point
@@Byokku2013 I simply compared wrestling ability. I didn't say Izzy beats jon because he went 5 rounds with the guy that knocked out the guy that jon struggled with.
I believe it was an honest mistake. No need for an illegal strike when ur winning. Fighters not completely understanding or forgetting rules in the middle of the fight is more common than we acknowledge, but usually fights continue in spite of them. Think Jones/Smith, or the way Connor kneed Khabib when he was losing and be ground and pounded. I can't really be mad at Yan when things like head kicks are legal. The rules are inconsistent af.
Петя красавчик
RULES are there to protect the fighter not to be ABUSED. I’m glad he threw the knee. Sterling wanted out via disqualification win.
An amazing performance by sterling. I have to say. An oscar worthy performance that is!
That was Daniel Day Lewis level showmanship. Fantastic performance by Aljo.
Lol
You would be shitting out of your mouth if you got hit with that knee.
This is exactly what a casual would say! very stupid to throw that knee! A real champ knows the rules.
The original poster didnt say anything about if the knee was illegal or stupid, we all agree it was. We also agree he put on an "unnecessary" oscar winning performance
This is the worst title win since Weidman💀
Yan was murdering that dude then he looked for a way out with that cringe acting lol
If you think he was acting you're an idiot, he was severely concussed which is why he was in tears. Learn about sports.
Yan is the man! His boxing defense and parring is a thing of beauty
aljo looked lost in that fight doing all kinds of random stuff barely hurting yan AND yan was winning....don't forget aljo acting lol
This is the real reporting. No mistranslations!
And the Oscar goes to .....
And also the concussion.
Let's see u in that octagon.
I agree...he should have sat up, said I'm too dizzy to continue and called it...he just showed he was finished
@@mayukh5356 most of these casuals wouldnt be seen anywhere near an octagon, they would pass out if a granny hit them round their thick heads with their hand-bags LOL
@@mayukh5356 shut up mayukh
Clear miscommunication between him and Ref explaining rules backstage. Petr was so dominant throughout the fight - and he was only going to become more active as Aljo got tired. I hope UFC start having some bilingual refs so foreign fighters can understand the instructions better
the translator is really bad at his job. He makes terrible mistakes each time
People defending Yan lol, Greg Hardys knee to the face was more justifiable than this fight.
Sterling dont make people laugh at you.... give that belt back to Yan, you don’t deserve it, you lost that fight no doubt.
He was LOSING. Fight didn't finish. Do you know who Nate Diaz is?
He's a UFC champ and should know the rules, he definitely deserves this outcome
@@m.a.a.d7413 exactly if the champion doesn't know the rules that's sad lol
Petr was winning the fight and Aljo was fading but sadly the illegal knee cost him the fight and the title, I hope Aljo is okay though and these two have a rematch ASAP!
John Kreese would be proud.
hahhahahahahhahahahahahahhaa
Comments like this make me happy to be an mma fan.
Sterling throws punches from his arms instead of his hips. Very strange that his team haven't addressed this 😂
Longo Serra actor just like Weidman vs Moussasi. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
yo!! I forgot about that, wow that’s so true. Aljo was done for and he knew it. Smh it’s so unfortunate should’ve just taken the beating like Smith. They did a scan after and Aljo wasn’t even concussed. Jumped straight on Twitter. Smh.
You either die as a hero, or you live enough to see yourself become champion - Petr Yan
Terrible performance by sterling, terrible foul by yan, terrible job on the refs part waiting so long to actually end the fight. Ugly all around smh
Everyone who watched the fight, including Aljo, knows that Yan was dominating the fight and is still the champion. He will be more dominant in the rematch in my pinion.
Like his name NO MERCY
