He basically stood his ground for couple of minutes, didn't even move. Izzy was shook, didn't know what to do. He continued on to deliver 4 punches opposed to 3 from Izz to win the round.
Is that OG shit or is it OG shit. Nobody has ever done anything similar. He stole that round on fear factor alone. Izzy is a little kid compared to the fear factor and mind games Romero brings to the table. Izzy was scared for the whole week before and even after the last bell.
 
Too bad he continued his spirit of being happy with a moral victory because Israel was shook for the rest of the fight too. Imagine if he would've taken advantage of the nerves and actually came to fight and do damage. Would've been even more og. He might've thrown like 20 punches by the end of the fight...
 
So bad ass that most people were thinknig they will never buy a PPV again (if they did pay for it). That's the type of shit that turns people off of MMA or any other type of combat sport.

10 more punches would have certified the victory, we know that. Both fighters stank the place up.
I am just picking up the highlights from the fight. THat and the left hook that nearly decapitated Izzy.

Are you really this foolish?

Anyone have a GIF of the very first punch that Yoel threw? It was a bomb that Izzy ate....

It was suppose to send Izzy to sleep. But he was saved again, by his iron chin.

Bro you trollin'?

So champ and challenger both stand still for 5 minutes and the CHAMP is the coward for not going forward? :D
 
When Romero talks he makes it
Sound so interesting and important
He should be a preacher
 
If he KOed him it would have been the most badass shit ever.

But he didn't so it was 100% shit.

Once youve had that many title shots youd think maybe youd win by accident one of the times. He always finds a way to lose

Ungrateful fans with ADHD will not be able to appreciate how badass Romero was during that fight.

If he had KO'd Israel, we would've been singing his praises. You can't KO someone who doesn't engage and has better cardio than you at running track.
 
Man if you found that exciting, I don't know how you survived the co-main

He spent 5% gas and won round 1. On fear factor alone. How badass is that?

yea man, Romero winning would have been nice....standing there for two minutes and the first punch that lands BOOOM KO. It would have been legendary.

Would have been nice if Yoel started opening up after that, I mean all that non activity early in that first round would have been acceptable if he was just trying to get Izzys timing down. Instead he beta'd his last chance at a UFC title and was surprised that he wasn't awarded a title by the judges.
 
He was a bum...he had every opportunity to beat Izzy but he was too busy coasting...Izzy continues to improve and will definitely hold that belt for a long long time.

Educated fans appreciate that Izzy didn’t stand in the pocket like a tool to please you idiots. Your boy did fuck all as well
