Disagree. Whitaker finishes him this time.

For sure the biggest question mark on this matchup. It's hard to know who'd win even if Rob is 100%. Really hoping we get this fight under the best circumstances.

Seems like a quick turnaround from Dana saying he was close to death

Lesnars gut issues ruined him

Whereas Yoel.. seems to be getting younger?

I liked this fight the first time. I still like it. It's hard to call because both guys have the tools to get it done. I think Whittaker beats him again, but Romero can flatline any MW at any point in the fight.

I'll be rooting for whittaker and I really think whittaker takes the rematch fully healthy this time.

It would be cool though if romero found a way to win and for there to be a trilogy coming in what could potentially be considered one of the best MW rivalries in mma history

I picked RW in the first fight, for some reason I don't see him avoiding final destination twice in a row, especially after surgery/staph.

Going with Gay Jesus this time, we'll see what happas

Disagree, he never came close to it. If anything, Whittaker will put Romero out.

 

[A.S. Deep]

I like Whittaker very much and he´s a very tough guy. He is a bad match for all the grapplers in the division with his excellent tdd, footwork and striking.
But imo Romero lacked that killer instinct in the 1st fight and he spent too much energy trying to take Whittaker down (obviously he didn´t expect Whittaker's tdd to be that good and stop all the td). I think he´s gonna correct that mistake and try to pressure Bobby a little more to finish the fight on the feet this time before the 5th round.

This is what I'm afraid of. Romero has talked about how the Whittaker fight changed his outlook on fighting and made him learn more about pacing from Jones. If he goes with a striking oriented gameplan he can pace himself better and catch Whittaker. Still a 50/50 imo, though.

 

[VinceArch]

I think Bobby Knuckles gets the finish this time.

 

[Jackonfire]

Romero won't even make weight

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Whittaker by 5th Round TKO, or Decision.

Yep, it´s true.
On paper everybody was saying Rockhold was a better striker than Yoel but we saw what happened when Romero decided to go for the kill. I think Bobby is better on the feet than both guys, but Romero is a beast and is coming off a great KO, so I think he´s gonna be confident looking for the KO again, and if he connects, it´s lights out.

whitz should win probably by decision. i only see one guy KO whitz, his name is Wonderboy.
i love the cuban godfather hes just a notch or two below whitz.
