I still think it's bullshit that Romero is likely getting a title shot. 1-3 in his last 4 and has missed weight how many times now? I like watching Romero fight as much as the next guy, but c'mon.

you do understand title shots are way more about timing than the ranking.
 
I hate women comain title fight they always put.
Romo will lose easy.

No

If her coaches cannot get visa's to enter the US its completely reasonable that she fight outside the US. Shes the champ, shes earned the right to have her coaches with her


Besides you said "Joanna has defended her belt in much worse situations"

What situations has Joanna defended her belt in thats worse than not having your coaches with you?

Or was your unfunny retort because you realised you had said something you couldnt actually back up? :D

I'll give you 4.

Literally every single fight since Penne. This is where she changed physically and a big reason why her style changed from a pressure fighter/brawler to an out fighter to help extend her career.

1. Joanna vs Penne. JJ cuts 20lb on short notice to save the Berlin card. Within one fight she never looks the same again at weigh ins or the cage and so begins the Joanna is chinny memes across all MMA sites. Literally career changing. People criticize her for not being more dominant and finish centric. This is a big reason why.



Joanna continues to look like she is at deaths door at weigh ins like Conor at 145 and persists on taking fights at 115 while privately begging Dana to open a 125 division. Lets just pack all of her bad but not failed weight cut fights into #1 just to be fair to Weili.

2. Joanna shows up to fight Rose the first time, while others like Max, Khabib and Nunes pulled out in similar circumstances, despite her coach Mike Brown telling her to go to the Hospital due to her failed weight cut. Some part of this will be in the HBO documentary about those 2 hard years of her career, health and personal life falling apart. She ends up being TKOed and memed for cheap laughs.

3. Takes the rematch on relatively short notice after being TKOed badly. Rose will have taken a year off after her own KO before she is back by comparison and has taken 8 months after each loss and 13 months after her last win. Joanna fought Rose again in just 5 months vs an obviously bad style matchup she did not have time to prep for and her coaches were incompetent in prepping her for. See clinch exchanges and coach's advice after. You would have done a better job cornering her.

4. The Andrade fight people praise her for but also criticize her for making numerous mistakes in. Pinches a nerve in her back about 3 weeks from fight week and ends up missing almost the entire strategy period of her camp because she literally can't walk without collapsing in pain. Couldn't do the road work to lose weight either. Another horrific weight cut follows. We don't know how bad that one was but according to Phil Daru, her S&C coach who was actually there for it, he said he has no idea how she was able to physically make it to the weigh ins. Nobody knew until after the fight that it was almost called off the last minute. This resulted in her adding the Polish physiotherapist to her team permanently.

Nobody in the history of the UFC has gotten a title shot coming off two losses in a row, and 3 out of his last 4, where Romero has also missed weight twice in two title fights. Romero lost twice to the guy Adesanya knocked out. It would be an absolute farce if Romero got the shot. Who cares if they were two close losses. It is about wins or losses. If Romero gets the shot, then fighters in other divisions with one loss or two losses in a row should also lobby for a title shot, based on timing. Then give Nate Diaz a title shot at WW since he will sell. What precedent are you setting then? Cannonier should be next based on merit. Romero should win a fight first. Give him maybe Gastelum next. Let Cannonier fight Adesanya. Till vs. Whittaker in London.

i get it yoel not worthy of it now. but if costa not ready and izzy not ready for jon jones than and yoel was willing to fight in the time frame the ufc said well that who gets the shot.

nate diaz just lost and isnt calling for any title fights ever. jorge is the one getting the title shot cause he earned it.

what you and nobody knows maybe jared not ready to fight for the title yet. or maybe he not fit to fight in 10 weeks,

So she fought hurt. It’s been a stereotype for years now that everyone fights hurt. How many champions had to fight without their coach in their corner because they were denied a visa?

fighting hurt is nothing special in this sport. At all.

Having even the coach of the year in your corner is no guarantee they don't end up doing a worse job than a random fan from the stands in one of the most important fights of his career coaching. It's been a stereotype for years now that coaches give bad advice to fighters. It's especially apparent when the fighter's own instincts on display in the cage provides a winning formula everyone can see but then the coach discourages it regardless.

Who knows maybe he had a second mortgage to pay. Either way coaching is no guarantee of success. We see that on every UFC card with some eye rolling corner advice. See Waterson and her coach telling her Joanna is tired stand with her. What could possibly go wrong...
 
Can't wait for this fight, Romero will only be 45 years old.

Adesayana likes to beat up old guys huh?

all of romero's recent losses were decisions that could have gone the other way.

It's only after he "lost" that people pretend they weren't close fights.

The losses are only close in the eyes of his nut gobblers. It’s silly that he gets the title shot, but he is old af and so I think he should be fighting at a championship level. He’s capable of beating anyone.
 
UFC matchmaking is now worse than boxing.
What next? Nate Diaz getting a TS?

None of those compare to not having your coaches in your corner

You gave zero examples of a fighter not having their coach present.
Try harder, white knight.
