Alex Pereira vs Yoel Romero

[GolovKing]

Who is the more intimidating or feared guy in the history of the middleweight division? Also who would you favor between Alex and Prime Yoel? Lastly, which guy would you rather have to have your back in a street fight?

Well, one guy won the title with a brutal KO vs the champ. The other guy stood and looked at him the whole fight. Sooooo...But if they fought Yoel would have taken him down and beaten Pereira easily. That can be said about a lot of guys though. Styles make fights.

Too early to tell. Alex needs to face some legit grapplers to know for sure. Right now Yoel is the winner imo. He was a nightmare for everyone regardless of your fighting style.

Based off face and height Alex. Guy looks like a remorseless hitman

It would be fun to see the Yoel that rearranged Weidman's face take on Alex Pereira.

I'd favor Alex, he is more aggressive and better at leading the dance.

If Yoel got him down, I could see him ending it violently through ground and pound, but for all of his wrestling credentials, Yoel really didn't use wrestling much in the UFC. I think he knew he didn't have the gas tank for it, and I bet he wouldn't want to risk being tired against a big scary fucker in Pereira.

Yoel is the most overrated fighter in the history of the MW division

Potatoan is the best striker since Anderson Silva

Both are scary. Probably Alex because he is more emotionless and stone cold while Yoel is enthusiastic. Pereira got controlled by Adesanya on the ground, Taken down by Bruno Silva and controled by Andreas on the fence for a whole round. I would favor the very durable Yoel as of now but Pereira is new to the game so we'll see how far his grappling improves.

Poatan might be better than Anderson.
Maybe not as flashy, but extremely technically skilled, elite power, range, and he is very fundamentally sound.

And Yoel did pretty OK

It'd go a lot like Manhoef vs Yoel.

Alex will do good up until the third round, then Third Round Romero kills him.
