This is kind of a secret -- I have mentioned it, but I try not to be too clear about it so as to avoid arguing with folks that strongly disagree... Although I do feel he acted a bit after the illegal shot against Yan, I have not had a problem with Sterling in anything he has done aside from that. He didn't have to act to win via DQ, which is where he fucked up in my opinion -- he should've done what Diego Sanchez did against Pereira and just took the DQ win without displaying pain and anguish (which, to be fair, I can't say with 100% certainty wasn't genuine, but it did look a bit over the top). I also feel that he comfortably defeated Yan in the rematch and heavily disagree with those that argue he did nothing from the back -- I gave him a 10-8 in round 2.
