Who would teh Chris have a better chance against in a rematch - Rockhold or Romero?

There's an intimidation factor against a guy like Romero who you know can KO you at any split second in the fight, especially when he's already done it to you.

Yoel is the clear-cut 2nd best fighter in the division, he's already cleaned them all out outside of Whittaker.

He just has to avoid being on his back against Rockhold. Don't throw stupid spinning shit, don't spam telegraphed takedowns. Walk him down and touch that chin. It's a winnable fight.

He murdered them both, the guy is brutal inside that cage but such a nice guy outside of it lol.

If Rockhold still had his head in the game, I would def sa Yoel, but I'm not so sure.

Depends on whether we're talking about 3 round or 5 round fights. In 3 round fights, I think Weidman would be a clear favorite over Luke, and a competitive underdog against Yoel. In 5 round fights, I think Weidman's chances get much worse against both guys. His lack of cardio would be a major problem against Luke, and he'd likely get KOd by Yoel after he slowed down.

But to answer the question, he has a better shot against Luke.
