Classiest champ in UFC history. Took the fight on a 3 month turn around after fighting one of the best in the division. Aljo deserves a rematch. He already cleared out most of the top 5.
Aljo DESVERS THE REMATCH
He don’t deserve shi
He had no choice, there was a chance ufc woulda skipped him n done an interim with O’Malley, besides aljo understood he’s checkmate, if he wants the ‘bag’ he Gota fight O’Malley asap!!
He's making excuses right now in this video
He doesn’t want that rematch, he’ll probably go up weight classes and retire after two losses…
Aljo is probably one of the most stand up guys around. Class act. Well spoken, respectful and down to earth. You got a new fan here for life sir!
Let's not forget how he "won" the belt, and he's making excuses in the video.
Truly a class act
@@The_Eagle_Official Why are you here?
he wasn't doing much standing up on saturday
you sound like you need a midol and a heavy flow pad@@MMACinephile
@@dankbuds-md5li Another alternate account loather. You make all these just to talk shit to elite fighters? Absolutely pathetic.
yo aljo the way you carried yourself after the fight made me such a huge fan. people need to give you the credit you deserve man you went toe to toe with some killers
Massive respect on how you handled the loss Aljo. You showed heart and true warrior spirit. Looking forward to seeing you get back in there, but glad you have some much deserved rest time. Cheers bro
The only way for a fan to truly know who the real warriors are need only look after the warrior loses everything. Aljo has been one of the professional Champs. He is a champ and mallet needs to earn it. A lucky strike doesn't make u champ not undisputed anyway we shall see what mallet does with his time in power. Hopefully not another clown
The way you've handled the loss so far is inspirational.
I understand why you wanted a little longer to see if you could transition to the single, but I think Mark saw someone get put down head first, then get hit with roughly 15 blows to the head. Part of me thinks he could have let it go a few more seconds, and another part of me thinks he could have stopped it sooner, but because he let it go, it looked more awkward.
If you watch it back, you'll see there were only a couple times during the G&P sequence that you guarded your face or chin for an incoming strike, and there were a few moments where your arms were either straight out, or wide open while he landed. I know this was probably to try and keep him aligned, and in your mind your head movement was enough to dampen the strikes, but the optics weren't good. He also landed 5 times really clean right before and during your roll, the last one with you facing away. I can see both sides, but a couple of extra seconds to really see where the roll was going would have been good.
Enjoy your break champ - I look forward to seeing you come back with a bang!
Edit: I rewatched, recounted, and only half of the shots landed clean. The ref has a hard job to do in the moment, without the benefit of replay or hindsight. Not a bad stoppage in the moment, but he should have allowed him to attempt the transition. Stopped it at the wrong moment.
Well said, now go back and count how many punches connected, I counted seven. Now let's do an experiment, laid down on your back protect your self at the most intelligent way and try to get up. Marc Godard can NOT referee Colby, Izzy or Conor fights any more. Thinking isn't illegal.....
Would you rather get smashed In Your face and not see the shots coming. It looked like he was trying to catch Sean’s punches during the G & P instead of just covering up its not like he stopped moving. Another 5 seconds could’ve changed the fight. He could’ve gotten up and I think everyone knows it.
Yeah I agree with @davidbrll4626
@@davidbell4626i agree with the original comment except for what you said. I counted 6 maybe 7 that landed, definitely not 15! Great point!
Apart from insantly implying he wasn't ready for the fight and took it for the money, lol
You're an amazing man, Aljo! Will be supporting you with whatever happens next!

respect on pushing thru all the injuries and mishaps you were dealing with in between everything Aljo! we appreciate it legend
I'm a DIE HARD Suga Sean fan. But Aljo gained a lifelong fan in me this past weekend. You are beloved my guy! There only comes along a star like Suga or Conor once in a lifetime. And just bc you were boo'ed on the other side of him, that doesn't mean anything. You are FOREVER a champion, and one of the all time greats!
I’m a huge sugar fan and been a fan of aljo since the Yan rematch. After that I started watching aljo’s real content and realized he’s playing up for the camera and he seems like he’s a chill ass dude irl
connors confidence and his ability on the mic was crazy good @@dingdong267
Die hard, what a loser you are. Sean has no idea who you are, you scrub.
I thought you didn’t want to give excuses 🧐. Now excuses are flying right, left and center
@@dingdong267 relax we know Conor is your dad lol
I love the idea of 145, especially after a TKO.
I'd imagine that extra weight will help you heal & keep the brain hydrated.
Right after that right hand Sean landed, I immediately thought the strenuous weightcut may have attributed to the knock down.
Once a champ, always a champ.
Aljo Vs Holloway 2024 sometime, Tough test but Banger fight

No offence
@@DGillian6406if he wants gold at 145 the clearest path is through Holloway

Bounce back man. now i like to see you win. Mad respect funk master 💪🏻
I respect the hell outta you Aljo. Truly appreciate the hard work and pain and effort you've put in. Enjoy the rest brother you deserve it
humbled actor
@@The_Eagle_Official non humble slug of the Internet? That probably liked their own comment?
Hearing you speak about the lead up to the fight and your journey in the past few years was very insightful, thanks for sharing Funkmaster. I picked you to win and still believe you could drown him any day with your grappling, but sometimes it’s factors outside the cage that the fans can’t see that have a big role in how the fights play out. The relentless rhythm you have been keeping up in the past few years was mounting on you and you finally feel relieved to let that go even if it comes at the cost of the belt. It makes me realise how ultra competitive this sport is and how much mental fortitude it requires to stay at the top for long, sustaining all the pressure that comes with it. Take your time, enjoy life, and I’m sure you’ll come back with a rejuvenated spirit and able to take on anyone!!! Best wishes
Just hearing the first 5 minutes that this guy just been surgery>rehab>training camp, it’s rough. Not to mention maybe the dieting for the weight class if he has to try and make weight or if it’s easy for him.(Seen a documentary on a fighter making weight dude literally sweats out his water weight, and it’s looked like a horrible process, to constantly sweat and still train) But the point being although he may not be happy with the early stoppage- think it might have been a blessing. This goes for a lot of athletes that has to go under the knife and the more I read/listen into their lives of training and playing sports; it’s sad to hear that it’s extremely more common in their career. Hard to compete at the professional level and even harder to stay there.
Yo, man! You gained a LOT of new fans throughout this whole thing. In the post-fight interview, you showed EVERYONE what class looks like. Thank you for that.
thank you Aljo, you deserve your flowers and so much more. Mark my words this whole Aljo,Henry, Suga, Sandhagen, Merab & Chito mix is ultimately a bond amongst killers that will forever intertwine your lives, its a beautiful brotherhood & you helped shape and mold the sport in that direction with class and respect. The fans may or may not appreciate that someday but just know we do !!
bro shut up, the fakemaster should let his friend Merab make his run to the title, he was saying that he was going up, no matter what, if he loses or win, he would go up, and then? What happened? He does not care now anymore about Merab career, but Merab is so stupid to notice it. Alijo is a really bad and fake "friend"
Well said !
Yo the fight IQ of this man is waaay higher than he's given credit for. To have the honesty to tell why he did what he did & why he wasn't able to grapple is so inspiring. Kicking the legs because that's what he could get in the moment to score points. Bravo Aljo.
"bravo for getting hammered fisted and losing before you even landed a strike, truley inspiring, can i please choke on your nuts some more? mr. celebrity ive never met" - you
Yeah and the leaping punches to close the distance. Very smart 🤓
So sean have more IQ then?
Stop the cap 😂
@djlasky4140 So sean HAVE more iq then 🥴🤭 Man you sound like you're watching youtube videos on lunch b4 you head back to special ed classes 😂 God bless your retarded little heart 😇🥰😂
I gained a lot of respect for him watchinghis post fight interview. He's a good dude. Definitely gained a fan for life In me
Keep the head up Champ! You have earned me as a fan. I wish you nothing but greatness!!!
Love you champ !!! Your story is so inspirational ❤
What an amazing attitude. Loved watching you during fight week. Didn't get to meet you, but met all the team and was even drinking with the Weidman family on Friday. Have a well earned break 🙏
I would love to see a pod with you and sean. That would do huge numbers. You handled yourself like a true champ and a real man. You will be back.
Excited to see what's next for you Aljo!
Love from Italy man. You're very enjoyable in the ring and outside. Good luck for everything you will try to achieve
As a long time Al-no hater, I've truly grown to respect the shit out of Aljamain after all of this. Class act, top tier competitor, well balanced world class martial artist with an unbelievably sharp edge I'm the grappling/backpack department, and a really humble dude. I'm officially a fan, and after seeing how he's handling his losses, I hope he dogs his way back and gets to entertain us for another run before retirement. Bravo mate.
Cheers
Zero class lol this video is excuse after excuse. Before this fight he was gonna dominate? What happened to that. He only ever beat sandhagen. As an Aljo hater you should know that dogg. I love to see this dude lose and can’t wait to see him lose his next fit fight so nobody cares to see him anymore
Hes a good dude. He's just not a championship level fighter.
@@greuju I’ll agree with that I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I just think he took advantage when he could. And that made alot of people want to see him lose..
@@greujubro he defended 3 times 🤣
yeah lol what the hell is he talkin bout
@@JD-me2jg
FunkMaster, you are an amazing fighter and a class act. The character you showed in your post fight interview was awesome, and to me more impressive and important than anything else.
Got mad love for you man. Keep your head up.
I had no idea you been going non stop so long please enjoy this time off ! We all know you’ll be back when you’re ready . Good analysis.
Keep pumping out the content aljo. Capitalize on the momentum that surrounds your name and continue to pump out content man. You are amazing at what you do. I really hope you continue to strive for greatness. Get that belt back my guy. You know your strengths. You are the best at what you do and now you know what it means to not follow the game plan. Get back on the horse after some rest and bring that title back to NYC BABY. Back the f**k up Move the F**k back type ny energy!
Well said !!
Keep your head up champ and let this small hurdle fuel your future aspirations. We believe in you 💯
You are a cool and hardworking dude ! Fans will be happy and interested to see your next fight
Respect for how you handled the loss inside the cage.
You didn’t make a big deal about the stoppage, gave props to Sean, applauded him getting the belt, and then had a down to earth and inspirational interview.
Stay strong and keep your family close and start your business at 145lbs, LET'S GO CHAMP!
charles oliveira was offered an immediate rematch that he rejected after he was dominated in 2 rounds and you had MORE title defenses than him, while also having won the first round in your fight. You definetly deserve the rematch and if dana doesnt give it to you, it shows the bias and injustice of the ufc.
the problem is aljo isn't as exciting as charles is.
unfortunately this is a business not a merited sport, their agenda was getting the belt on O'malley and now they'll give him some easier title defenses and throw Aljo and Merab under the bus.
Charles was dominant and extremely entertaining both of which Aljo was not. Let’s call a spade a spade.
Charles got the rematch after a dominate win against Beneil tho. If aljo gets a dominate win against a top contender I’m sure he can fight for the belt again.
Guys it's not really about that. Say that aljo does rematch. He wins then what? He has to fight at 135 AGAIN for the trilogy. I think omalley chito rematch for the belt makes most sense business wise. Merab will get the next title shot. Omalley will move to 145 in just a few fights anyway so why not just beat him at a bigger weight? I wanna see aljo ortega!
Love the love he has been getting . He’s honestly deserved it since his first title defense
Man, hats off to you for how you handled this past year, it's about the journey not the destination, rootin' for ya.
Love the way you handled the lost. Like a real man and you’re gained a fan. Understand your pain but you’re still one of the best in the world
are u dumb how is he handling it good , hes been bitching ever sense and acted a fool before he got rocked , yall are just ball suckers
Aljo, you showed so much class this weekend. In my opinion, you were one of the greatest champions at Bantamweight. Enjoy some time off. You deserve it. Can't wait till you're back at.
I’m here as a Sean fan. Didn’t have all that much of interest in seeing your channel, but somethin about the fight, your mindset, the people you beat before, and your humility brought me here. Gotta say, you’re a class act. I’ve always known you were good, I don’t think anyone in the fight world could deny that. But the respect I gained for you after 292 is everything. I’m excited to see whatever you bring to the table next. Enjoy your work that you put in over the years!!
Im the biggest Suga nut swinger. I have been singin his praises for a few years now. So happy and proud of his rise. But i gotta say, Aljo made a fan out of me with that post fight humbleness. I didnt see that comin and was super impressed. God speed Mr Sterling and i shall be rooting for u for the first time in ur next endeavor
Even if you don't get the immediate rematch with Sean, it's fine. This way more hype can potentially build up for the rematch, and you can properly reclaim your throne ChampjaMAIN!

Funny how it took a loss for people to finally see your true character as a champion. Respect champ!
Anyone who hates on any fighter for getting hurt is most likely a dork who has never trained hard or played any sport past high school.
Absolutely respect you and love how you've handled the loss, great classmanship and integrity.
total respect
You hamdled that loss with pure class, if that doesn't earn you respect with fans then their respect isn't worth a damn!
Love you aljo you made a fan outta me. You are Wonderful role model to kids I will let my son watch you the way you handled the loss and I’m a Sean O’Malley fan was amazing you’re a classy champion and you deserve everything you get stay well Aljo
Much respect Aljo! You handled this like a champ.. You'll bounce back stronger then before
Yo Funk This is crazy.
I’m up here in Boston and almost everyone is now a fan of yours and you will get mad respect moving forward in whatever you decide to do.
You got hit moving forward while trying to make a serious move-
Threaten the take down then strike to the head -there’s absolutely no shame in that.
And not for nothing that shot would have likely clipped anyone else but Suga with that footwork.
You the man now Champ- it’s crazy.
Lets go Champ Aljo 💪🏾
About the early stoppage thing, I get what ur saying but the looks of it was rough man. At least from my perspective you seemed hurt and nearly out after the last hammer fist. If u were actually ok I feel for u but shit happens you’ll get back there.
Yeah he thinks he was intelligently defending, but it was clear he wasn’t. Arms and legs flailing aimlessly, head bouncing off the canvas, and couldn’t even tell the ref what state they were in. Definitely not an early stoppage. And I’m an Aljo fan.
@@DanielRoberts-bq5dwThrowing Mark Goddard under the bus is classless. That stoppage was 1,000,000,000% warranted. His body language was horrific.
@@vikman258 exactly! And if he didn’t stop it and suga knocked him out cold then ppl would complain he didn’t stop it earlier
@@vikman258 Too many people do this to refs

True Champion. No excuses like most guys. Keeping it real.
This is nothing but excuses
He made excuses the whole time
He spent 10 mins on the stoppage. It was a great stoppage. Besides that, Aljos been great in defeat
i love how people get so hype on humility by a fighter and cant hear the excuses when clearly the fighter is making excuses. his main one being giving sean lay up chin with hands down.
@@lowlowseesee You and the other three morons in this chain are the classic example of ignorant dipshit MMA fans who have nothing going on for themselves in life. Aljo’s done nothing but given credit to Sean, and yet you’re such of an outcast you’re here looking for attention even after the guy already lost lol
Whitaker said the same. After he lost the belt. He felt like he had weight lifted off of him . God bless you warriors
Usman also
Rose did as well when she lost the belt to Andrade
I fucking love you aljo. Great pod and great spirits. So cool
I'm glad you're in such a good mental space. Much respect to you, sir. Always a Champ 👊
Massive respect to Aljo. I wanted Sean to win solely for the storyline that’s been playing out-however, Sterling convinced me with the Yan rematch that he was one of the greats, and solidified that with the Cejudo fight.
Sterling gained a legit fan with his poise and professionalism. Wish more fighters were as cool as him.
Thank Petr Yan
First of all I wanna say respect to you champ as real as they come in this game.
I can’t lie I think you should pull for the Brian Ortega at 145. That’s such a good stylistic matchup for you.
The inactivity for Ortega will help too. A good step to test the waters at 145.
what a bad advice
@@humbleguy12338Okay why not block Merab from fighting for a title while he’s currently leaving his prime.
@@OutColdMMA bro you are in a different orbit with your comments
Class act. Much respect
I love the way FunkMaster broke down how Sean was able to escape his grapples… Helped me understand the art of the sport so much better!!!
I was rooting for suga but at the same time I like aljo so much I didn't wanna see em lose.. dudes too good of a fighter and a person.. suga just brings that Conor type star to the division
Big respect for you aljo you’ll come back from this
I think when aljo returns and goes on whatever run he chooses to, he will be more popular than ever. He won a ton of fans and to me he’s honestly very entertaining and I love watching his progression.
Mad respect aljo you earned a fan last weekend
Jumped on the hype train after first Yan fight and didn’t truly realize how great of guy you are! You’re a great person and fighter bro and you taught me to not judge someone without knowing anything about them. You’re one of my favorite fighters now, please keep up the positivity and be yourself. We need more athletes like you in this world!
the way he kept fighting and pressuring dispite how exhausted he was in the first yan fight was inspirational
Still the best bantamweight in my opinion. The title defenses you had and non stop work you put in and seeing your progression through the ufc is amazing. If you do go to 145, I hope you do amazing spectacular things. God bless you and your family and career
2 split decisions and one fight where he couldn’t even finish Dillashaw with one arm. Such a good champ👍
@@Cootjeeee you get it, lots of casuals in the comments
@@Cootjeeee People can’t handle the truth.
CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR RETURN! REST UP CHAMP!
Good luck on your return 🤛
How about this perspective, was it ever a thought that Sean’s discipline with the footwork, unwillingness to engage & be out of position, staying long and throwing teeps & straight punches is what lead to aljo being frustrated & over extending which was his game plan all along?? Aljo says it was his voluntary error in wanting to be exciting that lead to him over reaching, but was it ever a thought that it was Sean’s tactics that lead to it?? I would think to assess things that way you could view the error with less bias? & would help leading into the possible rematch. No hate! & appreciate the work always
Bingo
Sean even said it, it was life or death! He had a rib injury (or pulled something in training) and he had to avoid grappling at all costs! Suga is actually lucky that Aljo chased him so early in the fight!
* not taking away from Sean’s skills…. He’s amazing! But if Aljo didn’t chase Sean, he would’ve won a decision! Aljo is just that great of a grappler!
Great run champ
Wrestling is fine but,
Boxing creates those highlights
No set up, but like dana said styles make fights... so they figured sean would catch you, and it seems like you had something to prove, you dont bro ... should of listened to CCC,
If anything was rigged , the ufc told that ref stop the fight soon as he could
Great conversation. This was great to take a peak into your mindset. Chin up champ competing on the highest level at the most cost isn’t easy. It not how I thought he fight would go buy anything can happen in there.
Aljo, you're a warrior. It takes a certain level of courage to get in there and do what you do. I mean, you're getting in there and putting your well-being on the line for our entertainment. Regardless of the hate you've received, you're appreciated and will go down in history as one of the greatest bantamweights to ever do it. Enjoy your time off. It's well-deserved, fam! 🙏🏾
I think you may have to fight someone in top 5 to get the rematch because Sean is fighting chito next and after that he seems to be interested in fighting Henry.
Ray longo said that aljo got offered a rematch
@@throwingblade That's great. But I don't think that sean is interested in a rematch. He wants chito and if not chito then he will go for Henry.
@@prabalsinha6823you Sean nut huggers are everywhere
@prabalsinha6823 ik sean is the cash cow but sean actually won't have a choice if he wants to rematch or not. This first fight he does. He can choose pretty much and he wants chito rematch. That's good and fair tho because aljo and merab don't want to fight as early as December. Aljo literally said that but also says otherwise lol. Nonetheless let sean chito rematch. If aljo does want to stay 135 he'd get the next shot if he's ready. If he moves to 145 then it would be merabs fight. If nothing else aljo and omalley will see eachother at 145 one day
Yes, Ray said it on the Anik & Florian podcast. He said that Shelby asked Aljo if he wanted the rematch (in locker room after fight) and Aljo said 💯
But we’ll see what happens. I think Aljo should let Merab fight next, even if it’s after Chito/Suga and Aljo should go to FW
Brother you only lost because you got caught fully loading into a punch. Id never fully load into a punch again brother and you'll get that belt back in a year!!! Let's go ! Re watch that punch you threw and got caught loading into. Listen to Rogans commentary about it. Avoid fully loading up. Every fighter gets caught doing that respect man !
You lost me at “Listen to Rogan” 🤡
@@usernotfound904 he’s still 100% correct
He’s gonna get caught again bro aljo lunges to much and Sean is gonna make him pay every time u can’t lunge against great counter punches I felt the same thing in the bud vs Spence fight before it and it happened
Also, I just want to tell you that you're probably the realest, most honest fighter in the game today. It pisses me off that ppl boo you and disrespect you the way they do. You're quite the breath of fresh air...... hello from Huntington, NY!
Congrats on a unforgettable run champ. Enjoy your holidays 😎
