Maybe.... but not as embarrassing as shadow boxing at an airport on a bag claim with your shirt off.

Won't have to worry about it this will be the fight

If you look at the two Yan fights, Sterling really did well standing. He fought long, only threw single strikes and 2 strike combinations for the most part, used a lot of lateral movement to avoid exchanges with Yan, circled away from Yans power and utilized kicks to stay out of range too. His team did a good job identifying and somewhat nullifying Yans pressure style, Aljo wasn't often there to be hit.

I went back and rewatched Aljo vs Yan 1 and 2, Aljo arguably won the first two rounds vs Yan standing and made a decent account of himself on the feet vs Yan in the rematch too. Aljo mixes it up really well, he just seems like a really frustrating fighter. Dillashaw is quicker than Yan and while Yan is a more plodding pressure fighter, TJ Dillashaw is movement based with beautiful footwork and he also has great counter wrestling. It will be fun to see what Aljos team cooks up, it's a tough matchup for Sterling but one he's supposed to win.

Tj is right sterling is a great fighter but his striking game is far from complete

This will be funny if TJ ends up on wobbly legs.

He's right aljo standup is laughable and he literally carries no power in his strikes. However, he's very good at getting the fight where he wants.

We're more likely to see Sterling doing a dab again. People sleeping on TJ too much like he didnt just beat Sandhagen

 

[Staph infection]

Sterling sucks but I hope he takes Dillashaw down and backpacks him for 5 rounds.

 

[MEAN357]

Dillashaws EPO use is embarrassing

 

[Fatback96]

Well it seems to work for him. There’s no “perfect way” to fight.

That’s what’s so interesting about MMA, anything can work if you apply it correctly.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I don't understand it seemed like he was just having fun
