Media Pat Downey about wrestling Yoel at RAF

[MMACro]

Another witness of Yoel's greatness

Makes Whittaker beating twice all the more impressive.

You know who also saw Yoel wrestle.... the vampire Lestat

They're 1-1 imo

They're 1-1 imo

They're 2-0 in real life.

Nickal wrecked Downey twice by tech fall. He will beat Yoel somewhat easy as well.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Yoel’s our guy

Enough with this AI shit just clone this mofo already

Get like 50yrs of solid combat out one of those models and it only needs sugar and water to grow and operate

He’s a super-soldier (of god)

 

[Goatenstein]

Whittaker getting the win in the 2nd fight was pure racism.

 

[mkt]

Should Brunson do RAF?

Brock Lestat? Is that what it's called?

Not really. Maybe guys like Derek Brunson and Ronny Markes taking Yoel down multiple times is impressive. In MMA Yoel was gifted but super flawed, lacked technique standing, horrible cardio for 15 minutes and could only fight at a slow pace/limited output, his top control was never the best although his takedowns were incredible but also drained his cardio a lot.

Dude hit really hard, had an insane wrestling base, he was explosive with good reflexes but not insanely quick. No fight IQ to speak of. Its honestly impressive Yoel got as far as he did, I thought he lost to Jacare and probably should have been finished by Tim.

Agreed on most but Yoel did damage when he connected and when he decided to fight (usually in the 3rd round) he usually ended the fights. He had 50 minutes combined trying to smash Whittaker and he couldn't when he was doing it to most others.

IMO whittaker is yoel 2 is the worst scoring of an mma fight I've ever seen in this history of the sport. There are atleast 3 scores that are more reasonable than 48-47 whittaker.

i scored it a draw for what it's worth

IIRC I gave Romero rounds 3 and 5 but by the time that 5th round was beginning I thought Yoel needed a finish to get the win, which is all he would've gotten since he missed weight.

yeah but there's no reality in which round 5 would not be a 10-8 round. so it's a draw for whittaker at absolute best

Choked a little laughing on that one

Well after Romero dropped Whittaker his GnP got slower and slower and that allowed Whittaker to recover where Romero laid against him, too gassed to put any force in those knees for the rest of the fight. It was close, but I wouldn't quite score it 10-8 but that's only me.

round 3 could also reasonably be a 10-8, i didn't score it that way. but it could have been.

also round 4 could be scored for romero
