How is DC a p4p great, but not Romero???

[Gangstub]

Just compare their resumes.

Sure Yoel only has 15 fights, but he's been fighting complete KILLERS his entire career. He's pretty much cleared all the top contenders at MW right now. And everytime he finishes a guy, it's in brutal fashion.

Unlike DC, Yoel dosen't have to wrestle and lay on top of guy to get the finish. And unlike DC. Yoel actually beat Cael Sanderson in the Olympics. And Yoel has fought way tougher competition than DC. (If you don't count the GOAT)

Yoel lost his fight aganst the new killer.

 

[VERBAL-FEDOR]

This push for DC is out of pity. The guy is a grinder and always gets hit but then puts his belly on you and wins.

Jones(clean or not) wrecked him. Never forget. Gun-shy Gus almost had him and AJ caved his nose in despite not even wanting to be a fighter.

LHW is almost as weak as HW right now. Yoel should move up and embarrass DC.

I'd love to see that fight, DC is tough but you cant alpha Yoel. The two different wrestling styles clashing would be interesting too, but if it stays standing DC gets smoked like a blunt with Romero's speed and explosiveness.

Yoel is legit. DC is legit. Only knock against Yoel in my opinion is his loss to that brazilian, I watched that live and thought oh well maybe he's not going to have success in mma as much as I thought, but he really made a good career choice in moving down.

Yoel never held a belt and fights men 20lbs lighter than dc. Unlike romero, dc doesnt constantly cheat to buy time between rounds to stop him gassing out etc etc etc

Nope. Titties.

F off with this crap. DC should have never held a belt either. He missed weight like Yoel and got embarrassed against a true alpha.

Unlike DC, Yoel dosen't have to hold the towel to make weight. He just takes his L and keeps moving.

 

[Gangstub]

I don't know why you're making that face. Yoel has rocked every contender he's faced in the UFC.

Rockhold with jab-overhand
Weidman with the flying knee
Jacare with the spinning backfist
Brunson with the flying knee
Machida with the rush elbow
Even Whitiker got tagged a little

 

[NILLI]

Romero has still not won a single belt.

 

[Wayne Brady]

Joel beat Cael? Cool. Have his ass go and beat Frank Mir, Josh Barnett, and Roy Nelson while he's at it. Stupid thread.

youre telling me a 185 lb (*187.7) romero would do to dc what a 205 lb rumble couldnt do twice?

I agree but what if DC tries it to the ground.? Yoel would laugh at him and slam him on his dome.

Only hope is IF Yoel gasses.

 

[Son Peyote]

Yoel v DC at 205 is more compelling than the Stipe fight​

Anything at this point is more compelling than the Stipe fight.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Romero has still not won a single belt.

And DC never defeated the champ to earn his. The belts are not the definition of quality of opponents. Romero destroys top level guys while DC lays on his.

He needs a paper belt.
