@@adamkoontz5447 he blamed it on Yan if you listen and try to not missunderstand by choice. This is fullt on Yan and no one else.

[@adamkoontz5447]

@@technodromen Obviously I am joking around to extent, but he did blame some of his performance to eating 2 pancakes and 2 eggs and then not eating for the rest of the day. He also said if he performed better he could have beat Petr and wouldn't have gotten into the position of getting pounded and inevitably taking the illegal knee. If you follow Aljos logic the 2 panacakes and 2 eggs are at fault for all his troubles. Thats the joke. So either english isn't your primary language or you, not me, need to listen better.

[@technodromen]

@@adamkoontz5447 hard to see the joke from your post. seemed more like ragging on him. but i get your point and fair play. you're also right that english isn't my first langauge. basically i feel like people dishonestly try to interpret what aljo says regarding the whole situation. and i guess thats what I kinda feel you do too when you "follow hos logic" down to 2 eggs and a pancake. but whatever. alls well. i hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the fights. much love from sweden.

[@adamkoontz5447]

@@technodromen @technodromen All good mate, your english is a hundred times better than my tertiary languages! And to be fair, though joking around, I was ragging on him a bit. He makes a lot of excuses in regards to that fight when he really doesn't need to. Yan broke the rules big time and lost his belt thats all there is to it really, there's no need for any excuse from Aljo. I'm actually a Funkmaster fan I want to see him healthy, rematch Yan, and win the belt in a way that he can be proud of. Same goes to you though, I hope you get to watch some of the amazing fights this weekend!

[@PeterMHT]

Aljo : For my injury doctors say 12 to 16 months recovery time Also Aljo : If Sandhagen wins , maybe quick turnaround a month later in December.

[@junipersnow1]

Aljo sounds like one of those 'street card show guys' telling you stories and numbers while he takes your money. Also, the call was made not to take this fight when he realized Sandhagen would fight Yan for interim, and aljo has a chance in Sandhagen fight, its so obvious he is playing us, even Longo don't talk about the Aljo situation, embarrassingly desperate..

Let’s pretend aljo doesn’t want Cory to beat yan and do his dirty work for him. Everyone from that camp makes excuses after their losses and they never address the issue. He hasn’t got the cardio to beat yan. He didn’t have the cardio to beat caraway. When fights get tough he folds

Yah well he/we knew going in for neck nerve surgery is a 6-12 month recovery, most fighters wait till after there career like Bisping.

Why valentina always talks about the 2nd fight only??...it was a split decision win ....very close fight...not like their first fight in which amanda clearly beats her and won unanimous decision win....ofcourse now valentina is much improved fighter..but saying amanda is scared is foolish....Also amanda defended her banthamweight 5 times and featherweight 2 times...She's already the GOAT..she doesn't have to prove anything....even if she lost the 2nd fight ..its(1-1)...that doesn't make valentina better than amanda....look at her record who she beats and how she beats...and look at valentina's record ..except joanna(can't even finish a strawweight) and holly(win by decision)... i don't think she has fought any better and tougher fights.

[@jorrba3934]

You are correct. An opponent can not win a title by split decision. Typically, the Champion remains with the belt.

Valentina got robbed in the second fight. She will be the 135 champ and she will be the goat. She has the potential to be the champ in every single weight class. Amanda on the other hand, cannot. She can be the 115, 125, 135 and 145 champ even being lighter.

[@jorrba3934]

NO she can't. Valentina is too short for a 145 pounds. She also said, she will never go down to 115 pounds. It's too light for her. 135 is the only weight class she feels comfortable beside her current weight, 125.

I'm an absolute CONQUERER lately on my picks. I started off terrible, but I've really stepped my game up.
