Is it me or did Dana White look extra red in the post fight press conference? Redder by the day dude is going to go full tomato. Waa funny how rustled he was when Jan said you don't believe in me lololol. His cash cow Izzy lost.

he looked like he had coke jaw srs, same for joe

they probably did lines celebrating the 'double champ'

am I crazy or does dana look like this after every card?

I swear that dude been blowing lines for years at every event, always with the yakked out look in the post fight pressers lol

[Gizzyhardcore]

first off I'm not your bro...

secondly he actually thought he would go up a division and take the belt. He's a clown and he got dominated by a bigger and better man. Stay mad soymaxxer.

Jan had him down for 3 mins round 4, and about 2 mins round 5.

Only managed to get position and rain down punches the last 10 secs of round 5

"super dominated" lmao casual moron

Sterling is such a fukn clown for this

Damn, not looking good. Should've kept quiet and maybe saved some face.

I mean we have seen crazier comebacks so we can't say Yan would have 100% won this even though he was winning 95%.

Lesnar vs Carwin 116
Silva Sonnen
Lewis Volkov
Jung Rodriguez elbow from outta nowhere

etc

That knee should be legal

First: I was wrong about Jan/Izzy. Honestly expected Izzy to win by decision and use accurate striking throughout the fight. Keep distance and get the win. Kudos to Jan.

As for Sterling... Seems to me like the solution is simple. The rules should just be that in the event of a disqualification worthy instance, the fight is stopped and it goes to judges scorecards. If the fighter who is disqualified wins via the judges, it's ruled a no contest. If the DQ'd fighter was losing on the judges card, they lose the fight. In this case, fight would be ruled a no contest and you wouldn't have a champion who was clearly on the road to losing the fight before he was gifted a win (albeit a rough acceptance of the gift). This rule would also make Jon Jones record look more accurate too.

Not an Izzy stan but people are underestimating how impressive his performance was regardless of losing. Jan literally sent his previous opponent (a big lhw) to the shadow realm... The same guy that beat Jones

I was more impressed on how easy his kicks could reach Jan's head, now imagine the weight class below that he reigns in, think he's going to hold the crown in that division for a long time.

The knee was legal, if you look at it from a front view both of Sterling's knees were off the ground

That aspect didn't surprise me since he's fought taller guys in his kickboxing career, just his durability in general vs a guy that big

He's fo sure gonna rule that division. The guy's hard enough to catch as it is but he's also got the toughness as shown in that fight + the power as Jan said. Crazy combination for middleweight


Jan also surprised me with how technical he was. I knew he could knock him out or wrestle him but didn't expect him to do that well on the feet
