You looked real good at 145. That was a tough assignment, but you made easy work of Kattar. They got you ranked at 8 now. Two fights away from double champ. Let's go Aljo!
Aljo, you can't be blaming yourself for getting the W. Kattar spent 100% of that match just trying to survive. He wasn't willing to open up, so you just took the safe route and dominated. The people that want to call this fight "boring" aren't mma fans, they're tiktok/reel/shorts fans. In 10 years everyones just gonna see the green on your record. You're doing great!
Bro stop hating on yourself. That was a BEAUTIFUL performance. That’s how you WIN a fight. If you understand wrestling & Jits, it was BEAUTIFUL! Don’t get caught up trying to please the fans brother. If it’s just you being a perfectionist, than ok I get it. But trust me, that performance is your path to the belt. Please don’t get caught up in “excitement.” I was so happy for you!
Fr, you got to understand Wrestling n Jits to understand and really appreciate Aljo’s performance. The entries where aljo was swaying off the centerline to get the takedown were awesome to watch, as well as the powerbomb! The same people hatin wouldn’t last a warmup in a high school wrestling practice.

Eh idk bro, the ufc will triple your fights to the title if you’re not popular
If only fans were this forgiven like this towards Belal
Bro be serious. He landed 8 punches. You beat his ass. Another good video man looking forward to the next fight!
100% I agree. Aljo was dominant in his last fight on UFC300. Man didn’t even get a post-fight with Rogan and I’m pretty sure all the other fighters on the card did.
Aljo landed 10

Katter highlight reel is very scary. Good thing he was more worried about your grappling than you were about his striking. I thought UFC was trying to set you up to get Jamal Hilled. 🤷🏿♂
The UFC didn't set up Jamahal Hill, that was my boy Herb Dean
Kattar coming off double losses and was ranked #8. Figgy also moved up a weight class and he too was given the #8. The lower end of top 10 is a test to see how a former champ will do in a new division. They're not going to put a former champ's weight class debut against someone outside the top 10. You're reaching with that UFC setup claim.
u would think jamahal got set up. he got knocked tf out by a better fighter
You don’t have to explain yourself Brotha🙏🏾 dominate performance your opponent didn’t do a single thing!
HE DRIED HUMP HIM. DAH
@@XX-kf8erand kattar couldn’t stop him
If you lost, they'd be making memes about you.
He won and they’re still making memes of him lol.
Jamahal was the meme my friend 🤣
@@Tac0maAr0ma They always will but they are never as popular as the memes of the losers on cards.
If he lost, everyone would forget he's a stinky point wrestler.
@@JackVz These are your haters, Aljo. This doesn't even make sense. If people dislike him for controlling his opponents, how on earth would him losing make people forget he is a "stinky point fighter"? That sentence implies that they'd suddenly like him.
Facts. Because it's wrestling, people will complain but the fact is he won all 3 rounds and none of them were close. That's what domination is
People want to watch entertaining fighters Like Holloway and Prochazka. Not 15 minutes of lay and pray
@@KZ_MMA_watch kickboxing
I have always looked upto Aljo to observe and learn from Aljo's natural ability to shut the haters at the highest and lowest moments. But his performance in UFC 300 was DOMINANT.
HIS PERFORMANCE WAS BORING
I fell asleep
That’s pathetic
@@XX-kf8erhater
@@EQUINOXexcellkept you awake enough to come here hatin.
I always appreciate the honesty, man. One of the few fighters to be this real.
100% bro this is exactly why I became a fan!
Congrats on the big W. Not gonna say most exciting fight but not boring either, and clearly dominant 145 is opening up to some very exciting matchups moving forward. Lots of history to be made, big moments ahead
It was extremely boring
I'm so happy you fought your fight Aljo! Uu did yo thang I was praying that Uu wrestle dominated Kattar That's what got us here!!! 💪🏽✊🏽
Everyone said zabit was the next big thing at feather weight but he won a 29-28 decision against kattar. Aljo is showing rn he just might be that guy? Will see
Well zabit kinda had a gas tank issue
Good point.
It was also 1000x more entertaining
That is what pure dominance looks like! Good shit champ
I loved the performance! Great job winning
My whole team was watching aljo dominate Kattar and all of us were amazed by the performance. Don’t be ashamed champ, you basically put on a grappling seminar for everyone watching (and for Calvin 😭)
Two check Not a scratch on the man! Kattar destroys bone structure in there Respect buddy ✊👌
Kabib always did a good job of taking away the post up arm when he fought against the cage. Not sure if your hands where free to do that before you went for the back or tried to sink the leg hooks . But You had a great ProFormance and I respect how hard you worked to show your dominance on the ground . Great job Aljo time to take that division and get the Champ champ status .
Happy to see you get that W at 300 dawg!! 💪🏼🔥🤙🏼
Enjoy winning and embrace your fighting style.
💯
Movsar is Ingush not Dagestani but fair play on being willing to fight the next guy for a title shot 👏
im slowly becoming a huge fan man! i love your content and your fighting style!
Aljo, Sean O'Malley gave compliments of your fight.
He just feels bad
These pods r way better when its solo boss. Congratulations champ
Congrats again, Champ!
Huge Fan of ALJO can't wait till he stops seeking approval from us. Your one of the greatest ufc fighters of all time. Just focus on you, every podcast or clip I watch hes always trying to explain why this or why that. Its awkward just continue to be dominant numbers don't lie. Side note, I think this is why fans call him a crybaby it does at times feel like hes complaining and wining. You owe us no explanations aljo just live your life bro
funky beat x nice flow on the intro bro.
Congratulations on the shutout performance and fighting the exact fight you should have against a dude with that style. Flawless victory
Been a fan since you fought in Boston bro good fight at 300
That was a great performance he had 90% percent take down defense and you took him down with ease
Great job Aljo! Loved the fight
Congrats on the W, Champ! Looking forward to your next fight!
Had you in a parlay with manon fiorot (who fought a few weeks earlier) , got you at -120, both of you gave such dominant performances. you fought against kattar perfectly. Thanks for helping me cash that parlay. Keep it up champ! I admire your hard work :)
W Aljo, knocked off the nerves, head up and onto the next 🔥
I love your desire to be the best bro u will get there we believe in you ! 💯👍
People hate is too much got my man out here explaining himself after a WIN. A WIN??! Imagine if bro lost that fight🤦♂️💔
That’s why you had that awesome post fight interview! Former world champion on the Mic!
Bro you gave a master class in grappling
Can't wait for Aljo vs Ortega 🔥
Ortega is a fkn beast. Lets see how aljo figures him out
thats a banger matchup, i want to see that on the connor mcgregor card for international fight week
Well considering aljo has little finish ability and we know hes gonna try n wet blanket I'd have to go for Ortega who in less than 15 minutes would sub aljo.
You had a solid win great job.
Aljo, you've done quite well and you did great against an opponent that I was very worried you might not defeat. You not only defeated him you dominated him and the powerbomb was pretty bad azz. I appreciate your fight breakdowns, fight IQ and your love and appreciation for the sport. I have watched all your fights and I liked every single one of them. I remember the first time I saw you. I thought you looked like a young Rakim. I hold you in the same regard as I hold alllll the great champions who have defended their titles multiple times! I wish you continued success on your Is inspiring journey for greatness! You will always have a fan in me! Stay blessed! ✌️
As an MMA fan, I am a big fan of your game, I appreciate your display of martial arts, it is truly top tier. I watch MMA for the sport and for the spectacle. Those who don't like you are only watching for the spectacle.
Great win, on to the next one
A great performance, my friend, I can't wait for the next opportunity!
And I payed for every one, lol.
your awesome man,I love watching mma guru come around and praise u now and merob. congrats on 300 man I was hoping you'd win
Yeahhh!!! Aljooooo WERE BACK 🐲🎒
Your good brother, you did what you needed to win. No issues here!
I like you because I can look past ur usually unexciting fights at times and like u as a person and I hate people who kick people when there down and basically bully people so there 4 ima fan keep it up🍻
Need to not worry about impressing the casual fans all they want to see is kickboxing with hammerfists to a kod opponent anything less then that they will hate you. The real fans and the real guys that have train and fought respect and appreciate your style. You one of my favourite styles.
Aljo your a g dude you have a new fan
Not gonna lie it’s great to see you less stressed out there and looked so clean good shit Aljo 💪🏽
You are truly a top tier fighter !
Congrats
Congrats Aljo!
I'm glad you watched your performance, I feel the same way about the dominance of out wrestling Calvin kattar. I'm a wrestler and people might think I'm being biased, well yeah okay I guess I can see their point there.. lol luv ya
Its not on Aljo to let him up and heres a thought: Dont let another man hold you down, maybe?? Ever heard of that
You know I completely agree. However, due to the rules sometimes the referees may stand-up the fighters due to lack of action. Which understand but also don’t. I get the “excitement and entertainment” part of the sport but it’s still as fight. Just fight.
@@Kegotback refs shouldn't stand up but point wrestlers bring more shame to the sport then eye pokes or steroids.
@@JackVz no it’s not😂
Just keep winning. When its all said and done, aljo will be in the HOF, and be appreciated as he should be.
Good performance aljo hope you can become double champ soon. Topuria is a tough one though wish you the best
You did great man I wish they woulda gave you a post fight interview UFC production team needs to do better
Don’t worry Aljo your mind is in the right place 🙏🏾💯
I agree! I enjoyed your performance thoroughly! So happy you had such a dominant performance for your FW debut. Ignore the hate, it is just loud noise. On to the next one! 💪🏾🇯🇲
Aljo you killed it in that performance! Absolutely destroyed him on the ground! I was rooting for you man, so i was stoked to see you having your way and walk away unscathed Because I hope hope hope you get the fight against T-City at the Sphere! That'd be so sick!
That was a hell of a dominant win champ, go get that W against Ortega
Aljo, Don’t worry about the haters. You made that mistake vs OMalley and it cost you the fight when he tagged you coming in. You’re severely underrated and under-respected. You’re a beast and your career will age like fine wine brother. You will eventually get the respect you deserve as a dominant champ and arguable Bantamweight GOAT. Now is the next chapter. You have your style and sometimes it doesn’t lead to exciting finishes. Forget about it, just focus on continuing to win. Don’t let the noise get to you.
Aljo fuck these haters. I sincerely think most of the MMA fandom are uneducated bastards. You vs Ortega or Yair would be an interesting matchup. Keep it up man!
Bro that performance was insane, it just just because it was 300 so people expection where higher than a regular ppv. Even your striking was sharp + every body know Calvin kattar is not a guys that get finished
You shut Calvins entire game down and sat on your punches instead of overstepping after throwing a power shot. Good job
Aljo you did amazing. You rag dolled a 145er easily. Great first win in your new division. Don’t worry about the haters. Just do you.
Also aljo your striking looked good. This def your type of division, with the right timing you def can be the next champ potentially.
Great performance champ
Great transition to 145 you didn’t take any damage which is always a plus keep ya head up!
Let’s go champ!!! Go get that 145 strap
Funknation stand up!!!!!!!
It was a perfect amazing fight you could’ve asked for bro
I just wanted you to win, I didn’t care how. The domination was the icing on the cake
I am a big fan Aljo! I do wish you could maybe add more ground and pound to your dominant ground game. I think it would gain you a lot of fans and up the excitement factor
Controlled him the whole fight. Cant wait to see who you fight next!
It was a solid performance, I didn't expect Aljo to outgrapple Kattar so easily. Aljo is a real threat in that division. Aljo vs Topuria would be insane
To a casual fan/first time viewer it’s a tough fight ti be exited about the whole time but most if not all experienced grapplers were very impressed I’d assume
tbh i thought this what you was going to o malley but you got caught, your performance against kattar was pretty good. people may make it seems like its boring but this what it looks like when its one sided and the opponent not on the same level as your opponent when its comes to grappling
No it gets boring when ur not doing nothing n can’t finish him
love u aljo… glad people arent hating as much… as long as u keep winning 🤣🤣
The way UFC and some fans treat Aljamain is so disrespectful and uncalled for... Man is one of the greatest bantamweights of all time and had a dominant 145lb debut. He'll get his flowers one day, I just hope it's before he retires
You did well bro
Lets see Holloway put Topuria's lights out and then fight for the lightweight strap
Brother idc what no one says, a win is a win and I’m always support you sterling ❤️
I've cheered against Aljo most of his career and i definitely didn't think he'd be coming close to a title at 145 but I won't deny how good he looked vs Kattar, and a win over a guy like Evloev who he could easily beat probably gets him that title fight.
Love 💕 you dude proud of the win no matter what tell them you not kahbib
You did good, keep playing to your strengths
Good point. You did have one of the most dominant performances of the night. I’m a real fan and love grappling, so I appreciated the performance…. And it definitely was one of the most one-sided fights. Up there with Harrison.
The pile driver was so funny lolll
YEAH YOU DID
Where can cop a funk jitsu shirt!
30-27 is a great showing for feather weight debut
Don’t let the “fans” get to your head. You did great
It’s the weekly scraps MOTHERFUCKERRRR. Lmfao very happy to see another episode of the pod. Congrats on the victory champ, before I listen to the full pod. I thought your performance was good. You completely controlled the fight, I thought you won the stand-up portion as well. Of course I would have liked to see you get the finish, but the fight game ain’t easy. The victory is what matters most. Much love can’t wait for your next fight.
Aljo your still a champ 🔥🔥
Aljo, here's a reminder taht you have fans
Solid performance. My unprofessional opinion is that in order to fix those things you’re talking about as far as stalemates is a mindset switch. As a fan I’ve noticed your cautiousness has been a strength for so long that it can hinder you. You’ve taken advantage of stalemates very often. The one time in recent memory that you took an extreme risk you got KO’d. Don’t let that hinder you ESPECIALLY in grappling exchanges. You are one of the best grapplers TAKE YOUR RISKS THERE!
Aljo vs Ortega next. Lets see who is the best grappler at 145 👊
We just want to see finishes, Aljo. Besides the one-armed Dillashaw finish, the last one you got was that incredible Sandhagen sub 4 years ago. Congratulations on the win, but we want to see you backpack and strangle or G&P some mfs like you've proven you're capable off. Grapplers MUST get finishes or at least leave their opponents in a pool of their own blood to be entertaining to 90% of the fanbase. It is what it is.
