@DaVontae12T facts, bro this dude doesn't get enough credit and is an absolute beast and one of my favorite fighters and the fact he wasn't on the main card for ufc 300 and bo nickal was is crazy to me aljo has done so much for the UFC to not make the main card!

[@Whatsthedill_ENT]

​@@DaVontae12T I wanna see Aljo and sean omalley run it back at 145!

[@MindYoBuiness]

Aljo my favourite fighter PERSONALITY 💯 because he seems geniune HOWEVER NOT to watch fight. That award goes to Jiri and Max..🔥

[@Whatsthedill_ENT]

Bro, he is such a humble dude and works his ass off. How could you not root for him! Aljo is about to be x2 champ

[@DaVontae12T]

I just need these to be 30min each next training camp lol can't get enough. As a black man who grapplers you're definitely an inspiration to me!!!! keep being funky 💪🏾🔥💯❤️🙏🏾

Thanks mi bredda

[@sladewilson2090]

Congrats aljo! Great win against a tough man. The real people know what you did out there was very impressive. I hope you stay healthy so we can see you again soon

[@Provesadark7]

Agreed

[@drumcircler]

You looked strong as hell, Champ! I’ve hated watching you torture yourself down to 135.

[@FunkMasterUFC]

Appreciate it!

[@tonytorres1624]

great W for aljo,absolutely dominant.

[@bubbabuttz1629]

Happy you got the win, great call out in Ortega

[@landiscrabtree1372]

Aljo looks so genuinely happy. I’m so happy for him.

[@shaneryan6142]

Kattar was stylistically one of the hardest matchups at 145 for Aljo and he made it look easy.

[@bangbang6317]

Ya a boxer coming off a lay off and knee surgery is his hardest fight stylistically 😂

[@allenmk138]

​@bangbang6317 Go watch Kattar v Ige. Kattar has great takedown defense, which is why he's a dangerous matchup if you aren't a high level striker.

[@oldironsides4107]

lol

[@ccaammtt]

you’re so deserving of all the love and support you have from the people around you ❤️❤️ i’m so beyond happy for you champ!!! i hope you’re able to get your full confidence back in the octagon soon because that’s when we’ll see you at a whole different level. KEEP CLIMBING BABY

[@lethabotjale3484]

Thank you for sharing and letting us into the behind the scenes. Thank you for letting the fans in, it is truly appreciated Champ ❤

[@zurvohn3582]

Aljo the man. Putting the Caribbean on!

[@emilioparrilla465]

amazing production quality

[@carlosm4516]

i was rooting for you bro glad u got the win

[@greymatter8817]

Aljo is such a good representation of a Champion. Good guy, hard-working, and carries himself well. I’ve never understood the hate

[@RomeroXVII]

Very happy you won 🙏🏽

[@Mattisin]

Good fight Aljo. I know you were hard on yourself but I think you just needed to get some confidence in the new division + coming off that loss. Just overthinking a bit. You got the skills, it's all mental. You did great.

[@DaVontae12T]

Couldn't agree more and he still was able to out strike katter 🔥💪🏾💯❤️🙏🏾

[@brianortiz292]

Some people criticize Aljo but this guy is a beast. Such a smart fighter he deserves more love.

[@joshualee6991]

Good work aljo! Let the haters hate! Make yourself undeniable at 145. Your real fans will ride with you no matter what!

[@Kingkhalled]

Congrats on the win champ. I know people are ragging on you not being flashy or whatever but there's people out there that know and appreciate what you do and how you do it.

[@dylahn7]

Glad you’re back in there man. Fuck the haters you’re killing it brother keep it up.

[@jazzerow]

Great performance last weekend funk. Complete domination with no damage. Hope to see you back in there soon 🫡

[@ason04]

[@JB-JB-1992]

Really excited to see your Hug Everybody title run, with your monotonous tones for the press conferences too. So excited!!

[@rafacereceres1316]

Honestly im one of the biggest aljo trash talkers. Not because i hate the dude but because i know he knows he can be more exciting. And good thing he is starting to recongnize it. Feel bad for the hate hes getting and all the boos he got during his fight but i think he will do better at this weight. He looked healthier and wish you luck dawg fr no hate 💯

[@jordanzyla3377]

Aljo hearing you on ariels podcast. Caring soo much about impressing the casual mma fan was tough to hear. Guys that have never fought don't understand the difficulty of having a heavy grappling style. It's something that you'll never be able to explain but to those that do understand we appreciate you and your style. Respect for taking on a new challenge at 145 and giving merab a platform to become champ

[@jacobgora8942]

I knew you’d be too much at 145. I think Ortega is gonna be a great stylistic matchup

[@antatyaybhouse]

Honestly idk how people don’t like u bro keep shitting on the haters god bless 🫡

[@oscarrobertson5097]

Much Props to Aljo , he straight dominated the fight... The production on this video Top Notch also 🔥🔥🔥🔥

GOOD Job Funkmaster....

[@geralfarez6351]

It was honestly a good fight to watch, I had your back the whole way I even put you down on my parlay. You look great at 145, I think you will definitely be at least fighting for the title at some point.

Hey saw the last fight, happy to say we have the same Jiujitsu skills! Well done

Great performance champ! Funkmaster vs Ortega or Movsar next

A NIGHTMARE AT 145 LETS GO

[@Vaine_Freiza]

What is the name of the music you used in this vlog @7:40

[@Out-tha-mud-]

Dominant performance.

[@Hffkkjfdf]

Just do you. Whatever it takes to win. Remember its mma. Every moves, pucnhes, ground game everything is involved. If they wanna see stand and bang go to boxing. Respect

[@samuelgrey2679]

Yoyo just saw someone say you vs Ortega that would jump you the rankings, what do you reckon?

[@Emotionlessxartist]

How will you beat Holloway if you don’t have fluid footwork?

[@K.T.02]

Great fight aljo dominated start to finish you and Bo shouldn’t change your style for people who’d get dropped by a jab ignore the noise 💯

[@Devdogs]

It depends. If he wants to be exciting and a fan favorite, and make a ton more money.. he has to change his style. If he just wants to get some boring wins and be just another guy, then yeah he doesn’t have to change his style.. and that’s fine

[@thumbsuckerjoe]

@@Devdogs Aljo is well past being just another guy... 24-4, 1 loss since 2017, and a former champion. Even Khabib had some boring ass fights. His fights didn't get to a fan favorite level until Iaquinta stepped up and banged with him and then he fought all time greats in the division afterwards. Kattar just isn't that guy and couldn't keep it competitive enough to make the fight interesting.

[@K.T.02]

@@Devdogs if you keep winning you’re undeniable it’s the khabib effect because if he goes on a skid from changing his style he’ll be jobless in a heart beat I honestly think half the mma community should just watch kick boxing

[@zMorphinTv]

fuck yeah champ ! the finish would of been nice but you made it look easy!

[@nothingisoriginal400]

Funknation standup🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@cashwalker9512]

U should fight max or Brian ortega

[@Provesadark7]

GGs Aljo. At this time of your career, I don't think 300K would've been worth getting slept in an all out battle. Well played and very impressive.

[@hunt_]

aljo you were fighting scared. if you want the 45 title shot you have to go for it champ.

[@Holchin]

I just watched Ajamain vs Kattar fight again. Kattar landed only 4 strikes. Calvin took Max to 5 th round. It was as dominant win without finish as it gets. Congrats!

[@LiquidJay]

lets goo

[@williamcheney8627]

W friends

[@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan]

Dude, you need to move up to fight Jalin Turner. You can bounce between weight classes or just fight winnable fights at higher weight.

[@kigrey3994]

Aljo you clearly got a strength and power boost from 145, just ragdoll and beat these dudes down champ. I don’t think Ilia or even Volk could withstand that wrestling pressure. Kattar looked lost

[@clintsparks07]

Aye breh... you couldn't even secure the interview

[@vincentgreenwood9898]

Let’s gooo

[@MrBEARBLAST]

That was fucked up how they didn’t give you a post fight interview in the octagon and the casuals claiming you’re boring. You can tell who really watches and knows the sport based on their complaints.

[@kedah2398]

Congrats champ!! Funk the Haters!!

[@b_mo537]

after watching this fight man i just feel like sterling could have dominated this weight division a while ago....he made it look to easy lol Good fight man

[@DarkWarrior_1]

Aljo looks a lot more strong at 145, i don't think anyone can stop him at 145.

[@Malique2090]

You shut that man down! Brian Ortega next! Then the belt I think you have a decent chance against max and ilia although I think ilia is the harder fight because the grappling. Anyways can’t wait for weekly scraps with You steve and Jake!

[@ismaelortiz7203]

Congrats brother maybe the weight cuts really were affecting you hearing what u said afterwards about not knowing what’s next. Stick to what you do fu the fans get the win however u have to 💪🏼

[@ESPLTD782]

Mehrab in the club 😂

[@carlosrios5162]

You would beat my ass but bro that fight was a snooze fest.. Wish you focused on the fan and to do some more damage like at the end of round 3 !

[@mkspooke7821]

Great performance, but a little boring, merab added a lil pickup slam in there at least

[@Jamie-927]

Aljo literally Batista bombed a grown man

[@dladmsdn1223]

I've been your fan since your cory fight in 2020. Real talk Champ-I was really sad about your fight this weekend. UFC is all about marketability & your fight was the most boring fight of the night including early prelims. They didn't even let you do your post-fight interview & not a single KZbinr, fighter, or reporter is talking about your fight. If you want to climb up the ranking and make some big money you need to have entertaining fights where you aren't just holding down a boxer on the ground with minimal damage. I'm not here claiming I can do it better than you or that you didn't work your ass off during training camp. I have no doubt that you did. If playing it safe is what you want, disregard everything I've said. But if you're serious about aiming for the title in 145, in my opinion, you need to learn from Max Holloway and fight more entertaining fights.

[@nik.b430]

Love ya Aljo but ya still can't freestyle lmfao

[@jfp6400]

Shame fight was so boring

[@oldironsides4107]

Aljo was the one guy who hurt his career by dominating at 300. Lol

[@wonderboy6927]

Idk how people hate on this guy. He made kattar look like a rookie
