Why the fuck does Shogun want to do this??? Does he need money that bad?


Romero I can understand still wanting to fight... dude is still in great shape

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

This is criminal.

 

[Necrocrawler]

This is criminal.

This the closest thing we get from sanctioned murder

Romero by first round ko will be like -9000

 

[aerius]

This is one time when I hope Romero decides to have a staring match instead of an actual fight.

"Hey, MMA fans, look over here. We got a new big promotion to compete with the UFC. Our first big mega fight?

"Shogun vs Yoel Romero"

 

[Ares Black]

This matchup is a really bad look for GFL. Geriatric Fighting League indeed.

 

[Khaosan]

That matchup would have been awesome YEARS ago. I was hoping Shogun was retired for good, ffs.

 

[Boomb]

I just saw this on X.

I thought that Shogun retired?

wtf?!?!?

 

[Boomb]

What about this:

smh...

That's a good match up to be honest. Rockhold is chinny enough Weidman might hurt him, Weidman has lost a step but he can still fight people of a similar vintage to him.

Romero vs Shogun is crazy unless GFL doesn't test.

 

[Trabaho]

2 cool fights. Aged yes, but cool match ups. I will be watching this.

What the fuck is this promotion, man?

Hard disagree, idk what you are talking about. Even in their primes Luke nearly murdered teh Chris... and, well, have you seen each of their last fights??

 

[skylolow]

I'd rather see these similar aged legends vs legends over having the legend fight a 28 year old at the top of his game. At least they got that right.

Rockhold went the distance with Costa while Chris suffered heart failure after 1 round with Ya Boi.

Rockhold went the distance with Costa while Chris suffered heart failure after 1 round with Ya Boi.

At this point Ya Boi has nearly the same amount of wins as Costa has fights since 2020...

Erik Anders is 4-3-1 since 2020.
Costa is 1-4.

Level of competition is different, but Rockhold isn't making it through Erik Anders opponents unscathed.

Rocklhold himself is 1-4 since he last fought Weidman in 2016.

That's an ok match up. I lean towards Rockhold as he was always a bad match up for Weidman.
Rockhold is better everywhere than him, he just ran into TRT Vitor, where as the Chris got USADA'd Vitor.
