Cool. Perhaps Yoel can find some supplements tainted with a time machine to take him half a decade to the pastRomero is no Brunson
Romero is no Brunson
Yoel already lost to Costa and Whittaker (twice) who are both worse than Adesanya.
Like he did against a shorter and less explosive Gastelum? Top notch analysis.
Lol and what happened over the course of 5 rounds oh ya he pieced him up and pretty much finished him in that 5th... Romero been in wars and lost a stepLike he did against a shorter and less explosive Gastelum? Top notch analysis.
Costa got no gas tank after 1 round he’s sloppy way too aggressive and stylebender will clip him over and over making him look silly when he’s missing him all overThe Costa loss was controversial and very very close. He did lose to Whittaker twice but softened his chin up to the point that a left hand from Israel skinnyboy toothpick with no power in his hands managed to KO him so cold they had twelve doctors waking him up.
A Whittaker before fighting Romero the second time would be a much bigger threat to Adesanya than current Whittaker.
Costa would kill Adesanya. Like first death in the octagon. Look at Costa, then Israel. Then back at Costa. Yikes.
A left hand from Yoel would take the black off your boy.

That's hurtful.
ThisI guess I see this differently. I think people get too blinded by the credentials and don't actually look at what he actually he does in fights. Yes, Yoel was silver medalist Olympic wrestler but MMA has never really used his wrestling much at all. Paulo Costa was able defend against Romero's takedowns and pop up to his feet against Romero.
Yoel is power punch who occasionally shoots for a take down. I think it's far more likely that he land KO punch on Style Bender than a him taking down and keeping down long enough to do anything.
Also, Yoel never really gameplans. He strategy is always the same, land the KO blow. Super effective but not exactly complex.
On the other hand, if there is one thing that Israel has trained for more than anything since his transition into MMA it is his TDD. He is the number 2 all time leader in the middle-weight division when it comes to TDD at 85.7%.
I think guy's like Colby or Usman who spam takedowns and chain wrestle. Would be nightmare match ups for Izzy. But Yoel isn't that guy. He probably has better shot throwing bombs and hoping one lands.
When Adesanya fights Costa I will be as confident of Adesanya's victory as I have ever been for a title fight. Costa is insanely overrated.Israel has no power in his punches almost got finished by a 5'8" chubby welterweight wrestler. Costa is going to knock his head into the stands.
