Yup sure, why not. it would make sense. if its a 3 round fight Romero can win, if its 5 rounds then I would fancy Weidman to win it.

My thoughts too - in a way, I still pick Yoel as the favorite in either a 3 rd or 5 rd but Weidman has a lot more of a chance in a 5 rd. Especially if he gets to rounds 4 and 5. Yoel is a really, really solid match-up for Weidman though, imo. Both boxer/ wrestlers with Yoel having more power, speed and better wrestling, Weidman does posses the better submission grappling though, as far as I'm aware.

I just don't see Weidmans path to victory clearly but obviously, I know what he'd need to do to gain it. Weidman would need to hurt Yoel on the feet or keep him at distance long enough to gain enough points standing but I just don't see it viably working well. If he doesn't hurt Yoel (it's obviously pretty possible) I think he gets clipped big time on the feet and he isn't gaining TDs to grind out rounds, especially not early. I see Yoel putting Weidman away tbh but I could be wrong obvs. Yoel maybe currently suspended but I think he's the favorite against anyone in the division, in my eyes.

So did Jon Jones against Daniel Cormier.
In fact, DC also had low testosterone, I think.

You realize every man's testosterone is different, right?
Besides, does anyone ACTUALLY have any sources for this testosterone test? I always ask and they never answer me.
 
Now thats what I call a HUG!!!roflmao


Im crying laughing at this shit.

http://fightland.vice.com/blog/desp...-testosterone-levels-are-higher-than-weidmans
"They tested Weidman on March 30th and he showed 3.7 ng/mL of testosterone and T/E ratio of 0.13. They tested Weidman again on April 27th, showing the same testosterone levels and a T/E ratio of 0.092."


and that 3.7 number too... "the average level for a male is 61.3 ng/ML."

speaking of Jones and Cormier...


Most men have a ratio of T to E of 1:1, which means normal men have equal amounts of T and E in their blood. There is some normal ethnic and time of day variation in the normal T/E ratio (as low as 0.7:1 and as high as 1.3:1).

Yup totally agreed. Romero is much more explosive and fast on the feet than Weidman, the problem with Romero is by the 3rd he is always exhausted, especially towards the end of the round, if it was an extra 2 rounds which he has never done before I see him being dead on his feet. But it could be co-main event and he will benefit then. its like the Rampage vs Glover fight.. I think Rampage really dodged a bullet that its a 3 round fight and not a main event, I think Glover has a much better gas tank than Rampage and his chances to win are bigger in a 5 round fight.

Romero has better takedowns than Weidman for sure, much more explosive and creative with them. Weidman is good with subs but Romero is such a physically strong guy and explosive, I think it would be hard to catch him with something.

Worth mentioning about the neck surgery too, neck injuries are no joke, they can end your career if you're not careful, even Bas Rutten said that it was the neck injuries that made him call it quits.

The fact that his testosterone remained consistent clearly means that there was no wrong doing.
 
Id rather:
Yoel vs rockhold and Chris vs Jacare

But id still be happy with
Yoel vs Chris and Jacare vs Rockhold

Really anything besides Rockhold vs Bisping or a rematch with Weidman would have been good in my books.

He won't, Weidman is clean, bro.
Testosterone doesn't mean steroids, if he passed the drug tests then he's clean.

Lance Armstrong passed arguably the most rigorous drug testing in the world for 20 years and he was not clean.

I mean it's not just that his levels are below average for a healthy male(let alone a pro athlete). It's that his levels are unfathomable. Small asian women or even fucking babies produce about 10 times the amount of test(not T/E) that Weidman supposedly does.

Went from little girls to babies.
Okay, how can you accuse someone of being on steroids when there is literally no evidence?
Can I accuse you of being a murderer, with no evidence?
Also, accusing someone of being on steroids is against the rules, PMing a moderator.

I never had a hug like that with my father, so I can't talk shit about it.

Does seem like a little much, though.

I mean I'm not even exaggerating. Healthy T levels for a baby range is the 20-60 ng/dl... Weidman was 3.7
