Can't thank you guys enough to put this freely on youtube. Even the entire event was on youtube.

belator > ufc 😭🙏

[@isDatBoi]

@@rajazafri8077 Bruh.. Bellator needed as much money possible, they slap all the sponsored they can find, and since this match is not a ppv.. it is a free TV, they put on KZbin for extra Money... UFC doesn't do that, that's why UFC got higher standard and more money

Romero acknowledge that he didn't deserved that scored in favor of him when he heard it. at least he was honest.

[@robertroy1878]

I noticed that too.

[@RRP1992]

What a resume. Yoel, Glover, Machida, Gustafsson. Was also 9-3 in UFC. Definitely one of the best fighters to not win the UFC title.

[@lunafreed]

He beat Machida twice

[@loubloom1941]

Old age matters, even for a beast like Yoel! Good win for Phil.

[@deekay7594]

Inactivity and excuses matter more ;)

[@mgpolo1]

old guy can't even turn his neck...

[@georgepierre3594]

lmao romero thought it was 5 rounds smh

[@clarkdark2906]

It hurts to see Yoel slow down so much since but every time I watch a Yoel fight I respect Costa more. Nobody fought Yoel the way he did. Not even Davis here charged right into the pocket and went to war with him

[@Mrnobody619]

Exactly what I was thinking lol. Costa and Whitaker deserve respect for going war with Yoel.

[@clarkdark2906]

@@Mrnobody619 not as much Rob as Costa I feel. Costa gets so much shit for losing to the champ who’s the worst matchup for him in the division when he is the only person to drop Yoel in the UFC and hit him almost as much as Rob did when the fight was 2 rounds shorter and Costa wanted to knock him out with every shot

[@SammyD1111]

Thank you Bellator!

[@bkasrai9188]

Yoel Romero Boxing so much underrated his boxing defense is very impressive he mixed of Mayweather shoulder roll and George foremen elbow block. But Davis wrestling is in another level high level Ground Control against World class Olympic wrestler.

[@bkasrai9188]

@Nec pluribus impar I don't have to pretend I know what I m watching. I used train and fight in ameture boxing for 5 yrs during my teenage years. I may lack knowledge in wrestling and grappling but in boxing Match I m ready fight with you.

[@stephenlyan]

Well,Yeol put on weight and that played a big factor as well as old age too coz no matter how much of a beast you are,you can't beat time. But hey I want to see Yoel in Bellator middle weight class.

[@peterwho9380]

Yoel's game plan "Throw one punch and one kick per round and I'm good for 5 rounds!"

[@PrehistoricBeasts]

If you cut Phil Davis' hair, trim his beard a little, and cover him in ash, he would be Kratos.

[@robertsothmann8110]

Amazing performance by Davis! Romero is great, still dangerous etc...but Davis was always elite and is getting better and better still

[@billycostanza2664]

Lmao that one judge giving it to Romero. What an idiot. Why do we still let uneducated judges determine fights when they go the distance? It should be former fighters that actually know what's going on in the cage.

[@cognito8325]

Lol at all the casuals who said romero will "smoke" Davis. They've only started watching mma since 2018. The guy who beat Gustafson, Texeira and has proved his wrestling in MMA unlike Yoel was always gonna be a favourite.

[@tander101]

I've watched since 2013, but I didn't think Davis would beat him. Not necessarily get destroyed by Yoel, but I assumed Yoel Romero would do like he did against Robert Whittaker and tear Davis up the whole fight, win or lose.

[@deekay7594]

You're just jealous Yoel is beloved and you are not lol

[@justinkurniawan7125]

When you thought you are a real fans but you're the casual one all along

[@goatkiller6295]

The use of the word casual is so over used its ridiculous and usually the ones calling people casuals are indeed the casual themselves.. yoels 44 years old clown lol no one thought yoel was gonna destroy davis!!

[@deekay7594]

@@goatkiller6295 if a 38 year old Derek Brunson can defeat a young stallion till, or a Floyd can retire on top in early 40s, anything is possible.. imagine how even more scary if Yoel actually trained his gas tank. You see him in the fight holding back because he's pacing himself for that one explosive burst

[@badabing2302]

U telling me he didn’t hear the ref say third and final round

[@mmadigest]

Davis got 5 takedowns on Romero, impressive.

[@BearsPajamas]

Meh, not really. Davis is a top tier wrestler, Yoel has relied more on his striking throughout his career. And alot of people forget that he's a big MW, but a small to average sized LHW.

So sad….so so sad. Yoel is capable of so much more and we’ve seen it. I love Yoel this is not what I wanted to see it just hurts, way too passive and tame hes the soldier of god for a reason go and slug it out.

Yea, I think ages got the best of him.

[@badabing2302]

Na he’s too old , he’s done. That’s about all I have to say about that

[@deekay7594]
