Israel has no power in his punches...
This is insane. The man has 14 KOs out of 18 MMA fights. Ko’d the Reaper twice in one fight

I would make the argument that Brunson outwrestled Romero. Romero almost lost to the guy with the worst fight IQ in the divisionWe need to stop pretending Yoel is some grappling savant.
His mma wrestling and grappling is nothing special. Without his explosiveness he’s not got much.
Watch the weidman and Brunson fights
A lot of as ifs. The only if that matters is if Romero goes for a takedown, he'll most likely get it.As if Romero goes for takedowns often.
As if Romero often does anything with the few takedowns he goes for.
As if Adesanya doesn't have very good takedown defense.
Romero is no Brunson.
Waste of time responding to trolls or filthy casualsNow respond to the rest of the post.

I know that is what Romero has done for awhile now, since the Weidman fight that I can recall. Cruising rounds 1+ to save his gas tank. I just don't think that's the right play against Izzy. The champ isn't going to gas, and Romero is. Romero is not going to win a decision here, or it will be very unlikely. I believe his avenue to victory is dominating wrestling early and knocking Izzy out, why let him gauge distance and see movement for a round or two? Just floor it out the gate, die on your shield if need be. I think that is the ideal game plan for Romero.
And in terms of his body/condition...well he's obviously on steroids. So there's that. And he looks great right now a few weeks out, so I don't think he's magically just going to become washed. He's definitely on PEDs...I mean it's obvious. How many 43 year olds have you seen that are that built and lean? That look "hard" with androgen levels. Generally when men get older even if they are in good shape they will have a saggy or softer look.
Look at Randy Couture for example, and he was confirmed on PEDs/Steroids. The only example I can think of is Herschel Walker who was most likely on steroids as well (only did push ups and sit ups...yeah fuck off Herschel).
Eh, I don't see it happening. Adesanya is too good at keep range and Yoels MMA wrestling isn't great. I could be wrong, but we'll see.A lot of as ifs. The only if that matters is if Romero goes for a takedown, he'll most likely get it.
When was couture confirmed on peds?
He used TRT as did many other fighters but only when it was allowed. He retired 3 years before it was banned
Randy never failed a drug test his entire career
Yesus.. That totally natural old man strength. It's like he has the power of God pumping in his veins.Romero is no Brunson
If Romero comes in with a gameplan that isn't retarded he should win. .
Okay so:
1. TRT definitely counts as PEDs, you're being very naive to not count it. Doubling and tripling average test levels wasn't performance enhancing? It was basically legal steroids.
2. He was probably using shit prior to TRT, not exactly hard to beat testing back then when he competed.
3. He competed in his 40s, He fought when he was 47 years old and then again when he was almost 48 years old against high level competition and looked like this:
Trust me I'm not a "natty or not" cuck and I totally respect Randy and his career. He's a legend. But if you believe his nickname you might as well sign up to be a student of Josh Fabia. Also again...TRT = PEDs so you already admitted he essentially was on steroids anyway even if it was some bullshit legal option at the time.
