News BREAKING NEWS Yoel Romero Out Of The UFC!!!!

[snugglecakes]

Cut the guy who some people think beat izzy in his last fight ?

Don’t some people think he beat costa too?

Oh and don’t some people think he beat whittiker before that too and shoulda been champ

so they just cut the theoretical champ with 2 title defenses under his belt and izzy and costa are his title defense victims

 

[brackis1]

didn't this gatekeeper won a multimillion dollar lottery some time ago? or was it a hoax?

It's almost as if the guy has dedicated his life to sports and wants something beyond money?
lol @ gatekeeper.
Careful that blade doesn't open in your pocket tough guy <45>

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Good riddance.

 

[TheWobbler]

43 years of age and never getting a title shot again. What's the point of him being there as they might not have even put him against anyone in the top 5 just in case he beats them all.

Ufc saves the money and puts it towards contender series fighters.

 

[SKYNET]

Fedor would die

Yeah probably considering how worn out Fedors chin is from being in 25+ more fights than Yoel but the stats are so very similar minus the weight which Yoel typically struggled to make MW anyway.

A dream, all it was

 

[Hellowhosthat]

how can you release someone if they are under contract? im confused...

They come to a mutual agreement. If Yoel wants to leave and the UFC are okay to let him leave, they can mutually agree to rip the contract up.

 

[Pugilism]

Basically someone in USADA found out the special mix he uses. Cash changed hands and he is rather free to go, than having a suspension fo 2 years and come back too old to do shit.
That's my guess.

Don't even know if money needed to change hands. He was a pretty good company guy getting up there in age, who had a rash of lackluster fights, and probably made a decent amount of money.

 

[Fedor Emelianenko]

WDF? He arguably beat Izzy and definitely beat Whitaker

 

[Max Power]

Old dude who choked when it came time to see if he was good enough. No big loss.

 

[thehighking]

My guess is he failed a drug test for a cocktail of steroids that would make UFC look very bad so USADA, UFC and Romero came to a mutual agreement that he would part ways and retire.

 

[thehighking]

I have a feeling he did a bad thing outside the cage.

Oh that is a possibility.

 

[fastone]

three years too late

 

[textwarrior]

There is not a fight of his I don't watch. If I see him, I am watching. What a joke to let him go.

It is not complicated, but, simple..The UFC pays their fighters like beggars(crap). It is one thing to underpay, and another thing to pay as a beggar. Just stealing from the fruits of their labor.

Dana represents the UFC, in other words he is not your uncle because he is not related to the fighters or the fans. He is UFC President and represents the UFC only.

 

[theTKDguy]

He's 40+ and already had 3 title shots. I like him but

 

[Regulator75]

Meh, just another brain washed religitard.

Good riddance.

 

[TRUS8888]

Dana only wants fighters who "want to fight"

AKA fighters who are broke and desperate enough to bleed for the peanuts the ufc offers them.

 

[wanted226]

He took the U out of UFC with him...Goodbye, my idol!

 

[thebesteva21]

Happy for Romero, he deserves the bigger checks. Endless entertainment over the years, it’s a shame he ended on the Izzy fight. I will watch wherever he goes

 

[Krixes]

I'll always be a Romero fan. I hope he goes to Bellator and fights Moose.

Romero vs Mousasi to determine the best MW in the world.

Romero beat Adesanya regardless of what the judges said.

Mousasi has looked like shit for a while. He is obviously not the best MW in the world
