They way this fight went was more Yoels fault than Izzy’s, You can’t just turtle up as a strategy the whole time to lure him in. He set the tone from the very beginning with that nonsense. Both are counter punchers so that plays a part in it but it takes two to actually tango not one shelling up standing still. Throw some feints, lure him in with movement, try to beat him up against the fence.

[@Loganbub]

@@jackjackk8633 uhh Romero could of been on his back foot if he wanted and try to let Izzy come to him but he decided to just stand there and turtle up. Sorry, at that point he set the tone for the fight. Why would Izzy fall for that obvious trap vs a guy with Romero’s power? He could of fought of his back foot trying to force Izzy in, he could of played with angles to get into a clinch or takedown, he could of done literally anything else besides stand there and shell up thinking that was a good idea to win a fight. Not saying it would of got him the victory but what he did ensured he wouldn’t win as no one is taking the belt off a champion with that performance. Neither deserved to win but in a fight like that it’s going back to the Champ all day.

I'll never understand why Paulo just stood there and ate the kicks. He never even tried checking them or catching it. Just stood there with his short arms, and waited for a chance to engage that Israel never gave him. It's so obvious his only chance of beating Israel was making the fight a brawl. If I was Paulo the first thing ima do is at least attempt a takedown just to throw him off.

[@lasser9449]

@@MrRemixV3 he couldnt close the distance without getting countered. I think he did not know what to do Inside the cage

[@MrRemixV3]

@Kai bruh are you really comparing Khabibs takedowns with Paulo literally just standing there? It's not a matter of skill, It's a matter of poor preparation (in the case of Paulo). Paulo could've done more than just stand there. That's a fact. He never even tried making it competitive. Which is why I said he shouldve tried a takedown early. Israel hasn't fought a guy with good wrestling yet. That's why he's afraid of Jon Jones. Cuz he knows Jon's wrestling is so good that he'll whoop his ass on the feet with the threat of it. Jon called him out practically the whole year and Israel's response was like "I want to clean out my division like Anderson Silva before moving up" but then soon as Jon vacates Israel shows his true colours.

Perks of being the champ. When you want the belt you need to beat the champ. Had it been a draw Izzy would still rightfully have the belt.

I lost some respect for Yoel after he just allowed himself to lose like that without ever really going all out and taking some chances and then, and then he does like 50 push ups afterwards like "look guys this is how not hard I was trying to win, I have all this energy left that I did not use to try to win the fight".

What a special warrior Romero is. In 7 years in the company he never became a champion. He lost 4 of his last 5 fights. Due to old age he has also lost his knockout power. Izzy in less than 2 years became UFC champion and he still remains the undisputed middleweight champion. He is now going for the light heavyweight belt. His MMA record remains flawless, 20-0 including 15KO/TKO. He destroyed both Whittaker and Playboy Costa in just 2 rounds by KO & TKO. Both Whittaker and Romero roughed up and defeated Romero in a combined 13 rounds, 3 fights. Romero is a retired and expired soldier, I don’t like delusional and perpetual losers that claim to be warriors.

@Andres Garza I'm not the least emotionally invested in Adesanya lol. But Izzy won the fight. Maybe Romeros age experience wasn't enough considering how he has not been able to pull through a single championship fight. Guess he was robbed every fight. Btw Romero left UFC so I doubt we see a rematch. Would gladly watch it though. Whenever Izzy loses it will surely be glorious I assume, or perhaps anticlimactic with a decision but I think Izzy is tough to win over with points.

[@Schlook]

@Andres Garza Listen I like Romero as well. Amazing fighter. I don't agree that UFC necessarily worked against him. He has a huge fan following and looks like a cartoon superhero. I don't see how all of his last 3 losses are contradicting the judging criteria. Of course the UFC prefer a young champion to having Romero as its Dana White after all. I think some of Romeros antics as well as his somewhat low output bit his ass decision wise. That's just how it is regarding the judging criteria (which I don't like, I preferred the system in Pride FC although it was a bit complex at times..)

[@mmamogul501]

@@Phaminator525 Romero lost 4 of his last 5 fights and hence was tossed out of UFC. You can keep arguing as long as you want, but that wouldn’t change the fact that he was 1-4 in his last 5 before being chased out by Dana White. Unfortunately for him, there is no veteran division in UFC. Division are separated by sex and weight, not by age. Being an aged gatekeeper cost him his job at UFC. There are other less competitive promotions out there for men of his age. He didn’t win a belt because of indiscipline and having conmen as cornermen. What Romero couldn’t do (win a belt) in almost 7 years at UFC, Izzy did it in less than 2 years. In just 2 rounds, Izzy knocked out the other 2 guys (Whittaker and Costa) that beat Romero up in 3 fights (13 rounds).

@@rogerj21 Romero is already expired, it’s no surprise he has lost 4 of his last 5 fights. That ONE punch you are bragging about was really mediocre. It was just too fragile to cause Izzy a knock down. It was too delicate that it couldn’t even tear Izzy’s face and make him bleed. It was so friendly that it was unable to even make Izzy lose his equilibrium. In other words it was just a common punch. Romero is an old man and he has lost his Knockout power. His best effort only earns him a knock down, thereafter all he does is massage his opponent until he recovers and get up, instead of finishing the fight vía KO, TKO or submission. He gasses out really fast like a fat old woman. Those big muscles greedily juice out gas without delivery enough horsepower. Izzy’s muscles are turbocharged charged, without consuming much gas they deliver incredible horsepower. In case you didn’t know, now you know. Having big muscles alone doesn’t guarantee huge horsepower. Izzy on the other hand has turbocharged knockout power. We saw the devastating effect in had on both Whittaker and Costa, finishing both fights in the 2nd round by KO and TKO respectively. Romero had 13 rounds to defeat both guys, but his punches always lacked the finishing power. He ended up losing all 3 fights against them.

Izzy even said when he was hit he saw three Romero's, it clearly hurt and dazed him even if it didn't knock him out. Romero has an insane chin, he eats head-kicks like they're nothing.

Romero didn’t control no ring in that fight, he only made some casuals think he was really doing something meaningful, but that wasn’t the case. Go watch the fight over and over again, you will obviously upgrade your perception of the fight. In the co-main event of the night Joanna Jedrzejczyk landed 186 significant strikes, which mean she was a very serious challenger that was really hungry for the belt. Lousy Romero was only able to connect 40. It took Romero more than 2 minutes into the fight to attempt his first strike, does that show any sign of seriousness from an old that was given his last shot at the belt even when he didn’t deserve it? If the judges scored the fight 48-47, 49-46, 48-47 and you are still blindly arguing and calling them incompetent, you are obviously a blatant casual. Romero was more hurt after the fight, didn’t you see how hurt his lower limbs were? Simple logic will tell you Izzy is far superior. The same top dudes (Whittaker and Costa) that defeated Romero in a combined 13 rounds (3 fights) got humiliated by Izzy both in just 2 rounds by KO and TKO. Whittaker suffered his first and only professional MMA career KO defeat at the hands of Izzy. Costa also suffered his first and only professional MMA career defeat at the hands of Izzy and it was via a humiliating TKO defeat. Romero got rusticated from the company after 7 years with a 1-4 record in his last 5 fights and he never won a belt.

The great Anderson Silva started his depreciation like that until he recorded only 1 win in his last 9 fights.
