Who is Alexander Romanov? Another undefeated fighter at UFC 251

[EndlessCritic]

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.

I would disagree. He seems to be quite athletic and moves very well for his size.

His bigger problem seems to be he's heavily reliant on a GNP strategy, and he's not going to do well against someone who can stuff his takedowns.

GOAT Soviet ruler



(I don't know why the uploader used an actual potato for the video capture - in 2020 no less - but u get the idea...)

Gonna be a pretty jiggly fight.

He lost a lot of weight and put on some decent muscle mass in 2018. It shows in his last two fights.

I think he either wins via tko in the first 1.5 rounds or Tybura will wins a decision if Romanov freezes up. I think Tybura goes to sleep here though.

Fight is off. Looks like Maxim Grishin has stepped in to face Marcin Tybura.

You should never call someone an idiot.

He's a solid young Russian hockey prospect.

Not many have looked good against Tybura even when they won. He ain't all that but I did bet money on him.

Bummer. I think I'll still bet on Tybura but it's interesting to see Grishin finally get a crack at the UFC. I remember hearing about him quite a while ago but the dude is making his debut at 36. He's fought some good cats though and it's not unusual for an older HW to have success.

My guess is he drops back down after the fight. Hes a good fighter still. Very good offensive striking skills.
