Yoel Romero does epic celebration after brutal KO win

He’s still one of the scariest fighters alive ….. how he can be over 40 and still as juicy looking as ever - can’t believe this guy passes tests .

absolute monster

wish he let his hands go more - the guys a nightmare for anyone
 
Guy looked like he had all the tools to be great but fought weird and took off entire rounds, showed his tongue the entire Costa fight and looked like he lived in another planet. So random I dont miss him. He was never all here to begin with

Romero may have the worst Fight IQ and instincts of any top tier fighter. Watching him fight was maddening at times - there were so many times where it was obvious all he had to do was let his hands (or knees) go, but he would stand their passively, or even walk backwards into the cage. Costa was gassed in the third round of their fight and Romero was getting the upper hand... what did he do? Drop his hands, walk backwards into the cage, and then beckon Costa to come forward.

What's kind of crazy is that when you see he has 6 losses on his record, you would think that he began to slow as he aged. You could make a pretty compelling argument that he won many of those close fights (Whittaker 2, Costa, Adesanya, Davis). The only fights he lost clearly was the first fight with Rob, and the time he got knocked out prior to joining the UFC (in a fight he was dominating).

The fight Gods gave him all of the tools to be a GOAT, but he squandered it by fighting in a way that didn't make much sense.
