Can't be the goat when you lost twice to a fighter who's not even considered the best of his era...
even anderson has lost twice to japanese fake wrasslers

Romero KO in the 4th
If Yoel came out and destroyed Israel quickly, what does that do for the division? Do we see an instant rematch? Does Whittaker fighting for a title become more or less likely? Could Yoel hold it?
My take is this is a very stupid fight matchmaking wise. I want to see it 100% but I just feel with Yoel as a champion, without the adesanya rematch, Yoel has already fought and lost to Whittaker and costa or knocked off all the other contenders... with Israel you have a lot of fresh match ups and Israel is young. Cannoneer has to be next if it's Yoel, bit more options with adesanya. It just feels like such a risk for the UFC if Yoel does win , and I love Yoel.
What do my sherbros think about this (besides debating which fights Yoel lost that were actually "robberies")

Anderson was great for a long time, Yoel hasn't produced anything great in MMA. If he wins the title then he will have a foot in the door for greatness, he'd have to defend to be in the great discussion. Don't come at me with the but but Anderson is a cheater because aside for the last few years there is no evidence to support it. Anderson is an all time great period, Yoel without a title will be forgottenRomero rides into the sunset as the best MW to ever do it at over 40 years of age.
