Who is Alexander Romanov? Another undefeated fighter at UFC 251

Seems like a C-Tier Athlete who is a decent person and a lot of tenacity. Should be good gatekeeper who gets brutally KO'ed by top level guys he can't take down and wins against most others imo.
 
He's good actually, he moves very quickly for a guy of his build which makes him fun to watch at times. However, I'm not sure just how good he is because the level of competition in that part of Europe (Moldova, Ukraine, Romania) is very poor at the best of times. Tybura is also one of those HWs that, while not being too good, can make prospects look bad on his day by dragging them into boring, wars of attrition. I'm expecting that here, but with Romanov sneaking the decision.

I think tybura beats him by decision. Hes been in there with better guys and I think it'll show late in the fight.

Definitely realistic. It's going the distance either way I think. I see Romanov looking entertaining in the first 1-2 rounds, a few eye-catching moments but tiring out and Tybura coming on stronger but in his typical 'not actually doign anything of note' style so it won't be enough to sway the judges.

Surprisingly quick transitions on the mat for a guy carrying that much weight. What happens when TDs dont work though? Doesnt seem to have a plan B and I can see him gassing when TDs get stuffed.
 
He looks very strong and aggressive, but not particularly athletic. Meaning fat.

But fat HWs have a long and glorious history. If he beats Tybura convincingly, he is an instant person of interest at HW.
