romero's walk around weight and real height confirmed

[Ruthless_swag]

Yea. They are both short freakishly strong wrestlers. I think Romero hits harder. DC has better TD/D. DC should be favored, but it's kind of a toss up really.

dc will easily take him down. he throws around hw's for fun. I have shaken dc's hands and it felt like a mangle. his forearms are humongous and he has an insanely strong grip. no wonder he is able to toss people around with literally no effort. He is built like a truck. so freakishly dense. He would annihilate romero. romero is more athletic but when dc lays his hands on him, it's over. Easy take down and possibly submission or even tko. he is a lhw after all and he pummelled rumble/volkan quite into oblivion so Romero cant be harder.

And how does his dick taste? Lol JK.

If they ever fight, I'll bet you. Do you think he's moving up?

 

[maxdamage]

romero is easily walkin around at 230

 

[MMACroatia]

Uh well he fought Gus 2 years ago and made him panic wrestle for a decision. He also soundly outstruck Manuwa and hurt him a few times recently. Not much KO power and TDD are his only real weaknesses. Absolute iron chin as well.

I remember him panic wrestle against Pokrajac

I think DC would win,but in no world would he have a easy time with Romero,at least not in the first few rounds

 

[spannered]

maybe. rockhold himself said he is 205 though. romero said he was 206 on mma hour. I can believe rockhold being 215 and romeo 210. jon jones fought dc weighing 218 in their second fight and neither are bigger than jones.

one thing I am certain about his his height. he is definitely 5 10. rockhold is leaning into him and still looks 3 inches taller. 177 sounds correct. he was listed as such on his wrestling boi and also when he first started fighting at ufc/strikeforce.
he is not a tall guy at all. not 6 foot.

Where are you getting these weights from? When has Rockhold said he's 205 walking around? He always looked gaunt at weigh ins, which tells me he's cutting a ton of weight to make 185.

Where did JJ say he was 218 against DC on fight night? That also seems waaay off.

But back to Romero - 177cm is my height. I trained with Whittaker years back (pre UFC) and he was easily 2 inches taller than me. Look at his weigh in pics with Yoel - they are basically the same height.

Also, Luke is 6'3, so even if he is 3" taller than Yoel, that puts him at 6'.

It's all trivial, but there's no way I believe that Yoel walks around at 205. Guys who walk around 20lb heavier than fighting weight don't miss weight twice in a row for title fights. That is a piss easy cut for a MW. I just don't buy it.

 

[Ruthless_swag]

he was eating shoes in that pic. yes like was leaning in and he still looked 3 inches taller. so he would be atleast another 2 inches taller if he stood straight. machida looked 3 - 4 inches taller than romero in their fight. he is 6 foot 1.

 

[cevo]

A world class wrestler that can’t cut 20 lbs to make 185? That is the dumbest I have ever heard.

Alvarez cuts 25-30 lbs, And at 155 lbs that is a much higher percentage.

Bro, Yoel is 41 years old and has been torturing himself with big weight cuts his entire life.

 

[SOAzmayesh]

I don't believe anyone...
Especially not the president of the org, fighters or their coaches.

 

[Dutchman101]

All those shit stories about how much he weighs on normal life. It doesn't give a fuck.
I you sign up for mw, you have appear on the scale at 185 pounds, especially with a title fight and for Romero, the most important fight of his life.
Romero should be forced to move up a weight class for his own health and also to make it as an example for other fighters, this kind of weight cutting is not the way and even dangerous.
The discussion about the height of Romero is really bullshit, if he's 5.9 or 6.0 ft, it don't matter a shit. Rashad Evans wasn't that long and he won the LHW belt and even fought at HW.

 

[90 50]

Ww’s Are pushing 200 if he’s only 205 and has trouble cutting to 185 when ww’s these days are 200 and cut to 170?

Yeah ok

 

[Lots]

He’s too tiny man.

 

[The Big Babou]

Hmmm... either Romero needs to move up a division or the UFC needs to change its weigh-in procedures...

 

[thobra]

Bro, Yoel is 41 years old and has been torturing himself with big weight cuts his entire life.

Ant that is why 20 lbs is even easier for him. I could understand if he struggled with 35 lbs or more, as he is quite low on bodyfat, but 20 lbs is not a big cut, and certainly not for a big wrestler.

Where you at @GrapeJuiceMMA

6 feet tall, my ass.

Your a fool. I believe hes 5'11 ONLY DUE to his head being flat on top. Where whittaker and I and rampage have sort of a cone head giving us an extra inch lol. But eye to eye shoulder to shoulder level . Romero and Whittaker are the same height.. Its just the top of their skull is a little differently shaped lol. Hes not 5'10 u tards.

Lmfao u never trained with whittaker just stfu. Hes 6ft like me

 

[Badr Hari]

Romero is at least 6 feet tall. I like Romero but his trainer is a liar and in this case he is lying for obvious reasons.

 

[acannxr]

this is confirmed by his manager.

5'9 - 5 '10
walks around 205. so probably enters the cage at around 200.
he will struggle at lhw. most weigh 215 - 225 at lhw.

he is still a beast though. he could do it but he wont beat dc, gus is 50 50. rest are all beatable barring jones who is banned.
Jan blahowicz would be a tough matchup imo as well.

Alves (5'9"), Lombard (5'9"), and Romero (5'9")

Romero (5'9"), McGregor (5'8.5")

Jones (6'3.75"), Holm (5'7.75"), Romero (5'9")

 

[xyzxyz94]

If he weighs 205 why is the cut to 185 any issue? Guy's at 155 come into fight week with a bigger gap.

I guess it depends on whether you consider Jon Jones to be an active part of the LHW roster, but if you do Jon Jones is in the rare position of being the best wrestler and striker in his division. He outpoints Jan Blachowicz all day before pissing hot for Brazilian tree frog venom.
