Anderson Silva vs Yoel Romero

[sampuncher]

When he snapped his shin in half

Na, he was throwing them in the Nick fight straight after aswell.

How on earth even prime silva could beat Romero?

He have iron chin, explosivity, power, wrestling, agressivity, confidence, not scared at all

He is everything Silva hate, the same Prime Silva who struggled against the average Sonnen

I dont want to shit on a legend like Silva but come on he cant beat Romero that's obvious

Silva get exposed as soon the new generation of MW came to him

Silva would be a gatekeeper in this actual era with weidman, romero, moussasi, rockold, adesanya, whittaker and even costa

He was not able to pass weidman but almost all the MW i named run through weidman

Well, Romero has 4 decision losses on his record, so there's that. I also disagree that he's particularly aggressive; he's more of a counter-puncher. In the light of these facts, a Silva victory doesn't seem unlikely at all.

Yeah comparing a fighter who has been fighting in Pro MMA from 1997 to a Fighter who have been fighting since 2009 doesn't make any sense to me.

Silva doesn't have the leg kicks and range weapon of adesanya. Seriously when's the last time you see silva throw leg kicks? Against Maia?

Silva is faster and more skilled than izzy. And when silva threw his leg kicks, he timed them waaay better so they were more like trips

Kinda contradicting urself there. He lost to guys in the ufc when he was washed. Yoel is far from aggressive and silva probably isn't getting ko'd if whittaker didn't. He's also way better on the feet. He struggled against chael because chael was juiced. Yoel rarely uses his wrestling and if he actively tries, he gasses

 

[Arnold Palmer]

Maybe Anderson got special contracts like mcgregor did

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Same way he beat Hendo i guess

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Didn't read OP

Not worth the time, not even sure if he's pro Silva or Yoel

Bit Anderson smokes Yoel regardless

You're Welcome

How do u not in

Yes I'm aware Yoel wasn't a successful amateur wrestler because of his takedowns, he scored his points with tilts and turns, and defensive techniques on top, so that's why his style isn't as effective in MMA. Prime Romero would still have some nice takedowns to steal some close rounds against Anderson, though.

How do u not include the famous Romero ankle pick

Pretty sure I originally did, but it's just showing this for some reason:

Here you go

 

[BowserJr]

Not might, he definitely have better tdd than silva. Prime Anderson got outwrestled and mounted by lutter.

He was coming off knee surgery which happened like 2 months before the fight

 

[BowserJr]

It's pretty obvious at this point that it would a very boring fight.

It would look like Izzy vs Romero with Silva landing better leg kicks and not get rocked like Izzy did.

Izzy is a poor man's Silva in the striking dept and worse grappling
