True or False: If Yoel Romero wins convincingly, he is the people's champ

[20falarVerdades]

I'd be inclined to say it is true

 

[GODZILLA213]

False

 

[Kryptt]

False

 

[bubbleboyjones]

186 lb GOAT

 

[YOLOGOGOPLATA]

He is the 185.2 champ

2nd most prestigious belt in the sport behind DC's 206.2 belt.

 

[sirmorbach]

Ah, hell no.

 

[Death By Samson]

I like Romero and I will be rooting for him.

But you have to make weight. Period.

 

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

 

[King in the North]

If he wins he is the champ.

That belt is meaningless. He’s the best MW if he wins tomorrow. Avenging his only loss in the UFC, his only relevant loss and only loss at MW, his resume would include: Rockhold, Weidman, Whittaker, Jacare, Kennedy, Brunson, Machida...

He’s the MW champ if he wins, and the best UFC MW in the immediate post Anderson Silva era.

And if you disagree, you can leave.

I thought Trump is already the people's champ. Or maybe it was The Rock. Are you saying there could be more than one "People's champ?" . Like.... an interim people's champ?

 

[podsox]

False and he's done at 185 anyways

 

[Fergelmince]

Can't make weight. Positive PED test. He's just not champion material.

 

[shortlefthook]

Of course he would be, the mw champ is the best mw in the world which would be the winner of this fight.

People are arguing politics, 185.2 is 185 middleweight is 172-186.9

185.2 is on weight depending which invisible line he's crossed in the world.

 

[RampageFaction]

I love Yoel but it's time he catches some of the ire other weight missers catch. He has no excuse whatsoever.

 

[Pokemon24]

If he wins he is the champ.

yup if DC can be crowned champ for a 0.2 lb then Yoel can as well.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Lol what? The peoples champ?

 

[RiotWyatt]

If he wins he is the champ.

Would pay to see Prime Silva vs Prime Romero, both fully roided with unlimited break time between rounds.

 

[Leone510]

so false

 

[King in the North]

yup if DC can be crowned champ for a 0.2 lb then Yoel can as well.

Wasn’t Al .2 over against Khabib?

We’re a bunch of drama queens. The winner is the champ.

Nah. Fun to watch, but he’s burned too many bridges at this point. Unlike some of the psychotic bastards on this forum, I’m entertained by the fights. Luke Cummo could hold every belt in every weight class and I wouldn’t give a shit. Good matchups and good fights. That’s all. An over emphasis on belts just leads to fighters playing it safe/avoiding other top contenders all together because a loss will ruin their careers.
