Romero vs Bones, DC or Rumble

[BigMuffler]

If Yolo fought them at 205, how much of a chance would he stand against the top 3 guys?

 

[Hauptstoss]

What is less than zero?

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Killed. Killed. Killed.

Jones by TKO. DC via dominant decision. Rumble by KO.

I would say he has a good chance to beat all three. He is a silver medalist in wrestling and he hits really hard. If anyone can beat those three guys at 205 it just might be him.

good chance against rumble, decent chance against dc, slim chance of beating jones

you're nuts. for a 2003 account though i will respect you with a like

 

[yookfarb]

I'd give him a better chance than any of the other bums at 205

Of course I wouldn't bet money on Romero winning those. He has a lot going against him....he is smaller than them, worse striker, showed signs of fatigue in Kennedy fight....but it is just his style that can make any fight competitive. He is such a good wrestler and so explosive.
Maybe I shouldn't have said a good chance. I will just say a better chance than most guys

I think people will be surprised that one weightclass apart isnt really that much of a difference when we are talking about the top 5..

And middleweight is a tougher divison than LHW.


Not sure about Romero though, he barely got through kennedy, kind of got TKO'd and saved by the bell.

Luke, i think would stand a good chance against all of them, Weidman in shape aswell.

 

[Quinton Fields]

Jones would throw Yoel into the audience.

 

[Post Crisis]

I dunno. I figure if Romero thought he could win a belt at 205, that's where he would be.

Depends on the weightclasses. The difference between 145 and 155 is only 10 lbs. The difference between 185 and 205 is 20 lbs, which is absolutely huge.

well yeah.. You got a point

But if you compare 185 to 195, to 145 to 155.. The 185 to 195 is less of a difference when you go by percentage, and that matters also when you look at size difference.

A lot of guys probably just cut to the lowest weight class they can get to. I wonder how Romero would be at 205 where he does not have to starve or dehydrate himself to make weight. He would be even bigger and more powerful.

There have definitely been guys that have been elite at both MW and LHW. Vitor and Hendo have been at or very near the top of both weight classes. Anderson certainly could have. Machida and Wand could have been elite at 185 but they were elite at 205 for several years that they were both past their prime when moving down to 185.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

He edges DC, 50/50 against Bones, rekts Rumble.

 

[Aggro]

LOL

Do all you idiots (who spend all your life on Sherdog) even realize the reason why Romero is now a middleweight is b/c he got starched as a LHW by Feijao Cavalcante in Striekforce

He would get smashed by all 3 at LHW

I think the top 3 + Gustafsson would fuck Romero up, but he could probably make it to rank 5 in the division. I could see him beating Bader and Glover, after that it's a pretty sharp drop in talent.

 

[Akabignasty]

50/50
