Your opinion is wrong. You talked about strength of schedule, not how the fights went.
I and apparently you too forgot that Romero faced and finished Brunson too. So add that to Kennedy, Machida, Jacare, Weidman, RW and Rockhold. So Romero also faced two of RW's best opponents and beat two more of the greatest MW's of the current era along the way. That's a wayyy tougher schedule.
You have a factually wrong opinion, and I feel that you are not entitled to it.
You are a weird dude/gal and make fairly weird posts, but I'll take a lap around goofball lane with you.
Lets unpack this and contextualize who they beat and when:
Romero:
- Luke Rockhold - coming off a win over an unranked opponent and KO loss to Bisping (lol Bisping!)
- Weidman - coming off a KO loss
- Jacare - split decision (by definition controversial since the judges didn't agree who won)
- Machida - coming off a spectacular stoppage loss
Whittaker:
- Romero
- Jacare - coming off two consecutive stoppage wins
- Brunson - coming off four consecutive KO wins
- Natal - coming off four consecutive wins and a KO in his last fight
So we should agree the best win on the board in general is Romero, which of course belongs to Whittaker. That puts him out front when comparing them because - he won - this is common sense.
The second most valuable name on the board is Jacare. Whittaker CRUSHED him and put him away, snapping his two fight win streak. Romero took him to a controversial split decision.
Take a break from posting.
