Attribute it to whatever you wish to, " too soon" , weight cut, but he just looked off from the start. Just like Romero did against Brunson. Everyone started shitting on Romero after that fight. He was the underdog against Tavares. On paper Tavares was going to wreck it , but the opposite happened. Why? Cause we started judging a fighter on one "off" day fight. That is the mistake people are making with Barao. I have no doubt in my mind that he will take the belt back.
