Aljamain Sterling: 'I don't feel like a true champion'

After arguably the most bizarre title change in UFC history, newly crowned UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling gave his response to the MMA community on his podcast “The Weekly Scraps” following his DQ victory over Petr Yan at UFC 259.
While Yan clearly delivered an illegal knee to Sterling, who by definition was a grounded fighter, many MMA fans, commentators, and fighters criticized Sterling for embellishing his reaction to the knee.
Sterling addressed whether or not he felt like a true champion and also criticized Yan for his knowledge (or lack thereof) of the rules along with making the decision to knee him in that position altogether.

Islam Makhachev wants to help Tony Ferguson retire

Islam Makhachev wants to help Tony Ferguson retire
March 9, 2021
After Islam Makhachev’s dominant performance that ended in a third-round submission victory over Drew Dober at UFC 259 via arm-triangle choke, the Dagestani lightweight pondered what could be next.
Makhachev is the training partner and protege of UFC lightweight champion and all-time great Khabib Nurmagomedov. In a perfect world, Makhachev would like to face an elusive rival of his close friend.
“My dream fight is Tony [Ferguson] because we have some deal with him, like a couple years now,” he said at the UFC 259 post-fight press conference.
Makhachev’s reference to his camp’s dealings with “El Cucuy” point to the five previously scheduled bouts between Ferguson and Nurmagomedov, which all fell apart in extremely unfortunate fashion.

Adesanya did some good work against Blachowicz in the first few rounds but was never in the running to win really
The lop-sided score – 49-46, 49-45, 49-45 – largely came as a result of Blachowicz’s work on the ground in the final two rounds.
After his defeat – his first in mixed martial arts – Adesanya opened his post-fight interview by trolling Costa saying he ‘had a little win last night’ too.

Blachowicz stuns previously-unbeaten Adesanya at UFC 259

Jan Blachowicz upset the odds with a grinding unanimous points decision over the previously unbeaten Israel Adesanya to retain his world light heavyweight title at UFC 259 in Las Vegas on Sunday.
“If I had knocked him out it would have been better, but anyway I love this win because he is one of the best in the world,” said the 38-year-old Polish fighter after the judges scored it 49-46, 49-45 and 49-45 in his favour.
It was the first defeat inflicted on the 31-year-old Adesanya, who was stepping up in weight, in his 21-fight career.
The New Zealander, the middleweight title holder, was looking to become only the fifth double-weight world champion in UFC history.

UFC 259 live blog: Results, highlights and analysis

History repeated itself at UFC 259.
Back in July 2019, Luke Rockhold was en route for a career-defining fight against Jon Jones. The one final hurdle to jump was defeating Jan Blachowicz, who was coming off a loss and entered the bout as an underdog. But that Rockhold-Jones fight never took place, as Blachowicz knocked out Rockhold.
Entering Saturday, Israel Adesanya was also looking forward to a fight against Jones. That may still happen, but just like Rockhold, he hit a massive roadblock in his fight against Blachowicz.
Blachowicz (28-8) seized control of the bout in the championship rounds, successfully defending the light heavyweight title, defeating Adesanya (20-1) via unanimous decision. While Blachowicz keeps his streak of upsets alive, the bout marks Adesanya’s first loss in MMA. Adesanya remains the middleweight champion, as well as one of the most elite fighters in the world, but clearly struggled with Blachowicz’s size and power in his move to light heavyweight.
