Tim Kennedy vs. Yoel Romero @UFC178

[mirko>anyone]

Can't wait to see Yoel beat that boring "soldier".

Is there a reason you put soldier in quotes? Last time I checked, he did a great service for his country. What the fuck have you ever done other than use incorrect grammar?

Good fight. Really like it.

I guess Rockhold could get CB.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Cool fight, I'll take Kennedy by KO/TKO 2nd Round

Interesting fight. Romero has the pedigree to keep this standing and work Kennedy. However, it's hard to erase the thought of friggin Derek Brunson almost beating him with wrestling.

He seemed to be overconfident in his takedown defense and was committing too much to his standup. Even the best wrestler can get taken down then. You saw what happened when he had a more wrestling centric game plan. It was a wrestling clinic.

Nice. Kennedy UD. Yoel lacks cardio and Kennedy is relentless.

Where the hell does this myth of Romero having no cardio come from? Is it cause of the muscle?
He beat Bronson because of his good cardio. He ragdolled Tavares for 3 rounds and never slowed down. He also KOd Markes in the 3rd.

Yoel romero split dec.

 

[Dylman12]

Yoel is clutch. Even if the dude is down two rounds, he can still get a finish in the third. Always a threat and with that in mind, I've got yoel. Probably by decision because Kennedy is tough.

 

[BlastbeatPete]

Kennedy by decision. But hopefully Romero can pull it off.

After that ridiculous LNP fight against Bisping I'd love to see Kennedy get out wrestled. Romero is just the guy to do it.

The only praying going on in that fight was Bisping's prayers for a stand up.

The fight wasn't hamazing but Kennedy did what no other fighter has ever done to the Count. He was also looking to improve his position the entire fight but Bisping wasn't exactly letting that happen.

 

[oswald1]

Extremely easy fight for Kennedy.

Can't wait to see Yoel beat that boring "soldier".

Uhh in not really a Kennedy fan but you can't really dispute the guy was a soldier.

I came here to say something along these lines , I'm actually picking Kennedy because Romero was losing that fight against brunsen

 

[GAP14]

Kennedy would be smart to keep this standing. If he attempts a takedown, Yoel has the pedigree to toss him on his head. I favor Kennedy slightly but my money will be on Yoel if we get plus odds.

nice matchup. hope romero gets the win, kennedy's tough though.

 

[forrestcries]

CB deserves it, actually. The dude has been on a roll.

I agree, but I think Rockhold smashes him

 

[LordBarnaby**]

yoel will murder army boy easily

 

[MestizoIV]

on paper this should be a more exciting fight than the Bisping fight.

 

[grecobjj]

kennedy has better cardio.....stout beard...more exp.......better subs, BY FAR............goodbye yoel
