Aljamain Sterling is not certain whether Rodolfo Bellato falsified his knockout on UFC Atlanta.
The UFC Light Heavyweight received a lot of return on Saturday after his non-contest result against Paul Craig in UFC Atlanta.
As he was grounded, Craig Bellato hit an illegal up-kick who apparently eliminated his opponent and then left him with the referee in the attack mode.
UFC stars like Justin Gaethje have called Bellato 'the largest flop in the MMA history', while the hunter looked at the referee just before he fell to the canvas.
Former UFC Bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling has previously confronted this criticism, after his title profit through disqualification against Petr Yan in 2021. Sterling was not considered to continue after being hit by an illegal knee against Yan, with many fans claiming that he was fake.

Aljamain Sterling will not say Rodolfo Bellato Fallen Ko
With his opinion about Bellato's 'really bizarre' no-contest result against Craig, Sterling will not go so far to say that Bellato pretended to be eliminated.
“Many people say he falsified this KO reaction,” said Sterling on his YouTube channel.
“He looks like an overview on the street. Somehow he is somehow a corpse. He just starts to slide and wakes up. It looked like one of those snailing things that dump your water in it and they just activate.
“It was the most bizarre, but it doesn't look good. It doesn't look great. I think we can all agree with that.
“Now I know people say, I am an actor. I got my belt from acting, and I sold and pretended to be really injured, and then I couldn't go on …
“Guys, I was really injured,” said Sterling.
“This guy, this staircase on the head. I don't know,” added Sterling from Bellato.
“Maybe something surprised him and then closed the gears. That was really crazy to see. I am not going to say that the man was neat because that reaction, the way he sold everything or did everything, the way in which his whole body just moved and lights up.”
Aljamain Sterling jokes Rodolfo Bellato should get a prize if he traded
After his disqualification title victory on Petr Yan, Sterling became a troll by many fans and said how he should have received an 'Oscar' for his 'acting' performance.
When it comes to Bellato's Wilde Ko reaction, Sterling says:
“If they act, if you can act so well, it is crazy because it looks perfect …
“I get up, I blow, I give an ovation like, guy, you just sold out completely,” said Sterling like Bellato de Ko.
“As he cracked, he looks at the referee, returns and it is as if the lights are switched off. He goes for about three seconds corpse, gets up and starts to guarantee.
“The referee comes by and he attacks his leg, wants to take the guard and start attacking bricks and Omolatas.
“I can't say he certainly fucked. I don't know.”
Sterling went on.
“That is hard to say. It just looked really bizarre. I have never seen anything like that. I don't think the world has seen something like that.
“But I will say that if there is an acting price, if that is an act, I think this man will get the prize. So I will have to give him the price that Petr Yan gave me because I didn't even act.”
