[Deleted member 45614]

why is this a title fight? #3 and #6?

Super deep division and Aldo is a bigger name than anyone else in the top 10 of the division.

Yeah if you're trying to promote new guys what better way than to put them up against a future Hall of Famer.

 

[burialsociety]

I'd love for Aldo to win. A second championship would solidify him as the GOAT (if he isn't it already). But he barely has 2 rounds worth of cardio at this point and Yan is a nightmare on the feet.

lmao @ Aldo saying "I'll beat any bantamweight in front of me"

like breh you've had one fight at 135 and you lost

Real talk neither of these guys should be here. I dunno why only Aldo is getting shit.

Aljermain v Sandhagen was the deserved title shot that happened a few weeks ago.

aldo is a legend

rooting for him but expecting an L

Hopefully he remembers what his legs can do against someone with amazing boxing.

Pretty much if Yan wins he beat an all time great, if Aldo wins he improves his legend. A win-win situation for the UFC in my opinion.

 

[fulltimepanda]

Would love to see Aldo get the W but man has got a lot of mileage at this point

that many felt he won

 

[Brinbe]

let's see if he still got it

 

[onpoint]

I got into UFC a little before the end of Aldo's reign. So most of the fights i've seen him in, he's seemed so washed. I'd love if he rose like a phoenix, I love a good comeback, but I don't have a good feeling about it.

How Sandhagen was more deserving than Yan to you is difficult for me to figure out.

Sterling, sure.

 

[burialsociety]

What so frustrating about this matchmaking is that it does a disservice to Yan. He's the best bantamweight in the world alongside Aljo, but if he wins this he's going to be seen as a guy who won the belt by beating a past it legend than a deserving challenger.

It was close, but the result is the result. He lost.

 

[RivalCore]

I got Yan. I could be wrong.

Never said that. But it's just funny to have the line in the promo when he didn't even win his last fight. Aldo is a legend, but he's got no business in this fight.

 

[GalacticToast]

Fuck I'm nervous.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

I'm actually surprised Yan isn't a bigger favorite.

Assuncao was ranked like 3 when Sandhagen beat him where as Yan got a title shot off beating old assed was he even ranked Urijah Faber.

 

[fulltimepanda]

Christ, Yan with that missile.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Holy shit that kick from Aldo

 

[Wheatly]

This is tense

 

[Riskbreaker]

Aldo throwing kicks, wtf?

Aldo just got hurt bad to the body.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Uhhh what the hell was Aldo doing

 

[onpoint]

What a weird round.

 

[Dominic Decoco]

What a bizarre sequence wtf

 

[Syder]

Just.. completely washed.

 

[Bradbatross]

Uhhh what the hell was Aldo doing

Click to shrink...

He took a massive body kick.

 

[fulltimepanda]

Looked like a body shot that got Aldo hurt

 

[Bradbatross]

Somehow the commentators and production team missed the body kick.

 

[Anth0ny]

fucking advertising tenet for an august theatrical release

lmao

 

[fulltimepanda]

Those kicks starting to do work, Yan starting to look a bit gun shy with the threat of them around.

 

[NinjaScooter]

Aldo putting on a clinic with regards to leg kicks and body work. Yan seems to be fading more than the old man.

Not seeing anything washed right now.

This is a good fight.

Much better round for Aldo.

These ads are so stupid.

 

[Bradbatross]

Odd 2nd round from Yan. I guess he's pacing himself.

 

[dreamfall]

Feels like 1-1

 

[Syder]

Haven't seen Aldo throw kicks like this in years

He may actually win

 

[Serene]

1-1

 

[TaterTots]

What's the story of Aldo? Did he retire and come back or something? Not as well versed in MMA.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

1-1

 

[NinjaScooter]

I wish the ref would stop the fight and give Yan a formal warning about his fucking fingers already

 

[Riskbreaker]

Yan is. . . looking tentative and scared.

Let's go Aldo!

He wasn't the same since Conor ko d him. He stopped throwing kicks. He was slower and he was losing gimmes

 

[onpoint]

Damn these body shots, Aldo throwing bombs.

Yan's first 5-rounder fucking him up?
