Aljo became hated by winning the belt and loved by losing it.

Does someone else feel that? He was extremely open and realistic about everything they asked him, including Volk beating him. He didn’t blame the referee, although it was an early-ish stoppage. His general demeanor once he gave up the belt and didnt have to continue his (by his own words) “heel” persona was extremely down to earth and pleasant, and the rarest for fighters – non delusional. I am rooting for the guy, although he’s a bit old lets hope he can string some wins together. What do you think, was it an act or did your feelings towards Aljo generally change since the loss?
