Robert Whittaker says he will be out until February 2019

[Kael Rills]

The first fight wasn't a war lol.

Wasn't it the one that ended with a 3-2 decision that could go to Romero if he didn't slip in the 5th round while he was advancing and striking more? If that's the one, Romero crushed Whittaker's knee so bad that he had a surgery and couldn't fight for a long time while Romero was knocking Rockhold out.

Fighting the Soldier of God will do that to you!

 

[acovarru]

Wheres Romero at? Romero is the real champ!

Definitely doesn't want brain damage, makes sense.

 

[Alanf7]

Romero destroyed him.

Well you know, apperantly this is a point match. Not fighting. That's why the guy that gets the shit beat out of him wins and disappears while the loser continues fighting.

Good points.
And I know you didn't mean this but... we can't actually wait for the doctors reports before determining the winner of a fight.

Meanwhile, Romero is ready to take over the LHW division.

Romero's body will crumble under teh roids.
Also, his salty tears after losing two decisions will only strengthen the clean Champ's resolve.

9 months between defenses
Kelvin already lined up to fight him after TUF

How do the UFC resist a interim title fight?
Or do they just do a interim title fight without the #1 contender?

You are all fucking idiots.

Whittaker hurt his hand. It has nothing to do with Homero. Robert would have smashed his hand against Weidman head also.

Perfect example of how pathetic the scoring system is. Albeit, I still think it was a draw at worst, don't see how Romero lost that even under the awful current system .

9 months is not that much.

Shit

 

[rebell]

He got rocked a few times and broke his hand, he's gunna be fine

 

[Rav7n]

Yeah, if anything, Whittaker did a lot more damage to Romero in that fight.

It's funny how easily people's memories are affected by extraneous factors.

Before the rematch, a lot of people acted like Romero was non-competitive in the first fight. Now, a bunch of people are making out like Whittaker took an equal amount of damage in both.

Dam right..
A lot of rose tinted glasses being worn in this place.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Bobby out... Romero gone. Looks like it is time for St Pierre to save the division...

DC/Brock and KG/Robert on the super bowl card do it

 

[KevinLee]

Gastelum vs Yoel for interim incoming.

Hope he can come back 100% he's young and extremely tough to never give up in a war like he had. Excellent champion.
