Yoel Romero is too small for LHW

[sabretitan]

And evidently too big for mw

They cut on steroids.

Too small my ass, he kills himself to make Middleweight. Light Heavyweight would be his ideal weight class. He generally looks as big (if not slightly bigger) than your average LHW on fight night as is, and his power would definitely carry over as well.

It's a crap division anyway. Who's there that Romero can't beat? He'd be a hard fight for both Gus and Cormier. Glover Texira would probably be easy work. I could see him beating Anthony Smith, and he already put Luke Rockhold on queer street.

Yoel would be betting underdog against majority of LHWs

Yoel has been the betting underdog against almost all of his opponents lol. And yet he's still run through most of them and won, even annihilated a few of them.

 

[MMACroatia]

He would get fucked by Cormier,Jones,Gustafson and saki for sure and there is a reason he kills himself trying to make mw.

Saki ahahahahahaha
Get real man

Fedor was great when he was in his twenties in last decade. Sport improves, I don't think that Prime Fedor would be such a big threat for current HW devision.

Just about all of Fedor's best wins were against other great HWs in their 20s and early 30s.

Today's HW division is full of old 40 year old fossils (like Reem, Hunt, Werdum) shot to shit guys like JDS and raw ass under-developed young talent with massive glaring weaknesses in TDD or grappling (Ngannou, Lewis, Volkov)

Fedor's era was far deeper and more skilled than today's Heavyweight scene

Some people also thought that Conor will win against Floyd. If he fights Gustafsson he should go back to those steroids. He will be out jabbed and killed.

Steroids - makes all the difference.

It's entirely possible that whatever Yoels strength and conditioning program is has him put on 20 lbs of pure muscle if decides to bulk up to 205. He could come in looking like a professional bodybuilder and just be massive.

 

[Tweak896]

Gastelum - yes. But bigger guys - they would out strike the shit out of him by keeping the distance.

Just a different style required to close distance and yoel is explosive enough

 

[Ross Bucklin]

Dana suggested him moving up to LHW. Where is a reason why he choose be middleweight - he's only 180 cm tall, so fighting Gustafsson (195 cm tall) would be challenge.

He haven't fought as LHW since 2011, so if he moves up and gets to fight top guys - I doubt that he will be as dangerous.

And I know Cormier is only 180 cm tall.

Yoel is a God amongst Men. No matter what division he fights in.

Also fuel tank is small as my dick.

Yeah no way. Saki has lethal hands but abyssal TDD. Romero by wrestlefuck TKO

He's not a god. Fedor is a god.

 

[superpunch]

sure, the height difference is arguably a disadvantage, but that's Yoel's challenge to overcome.

regardless of the commission halting his cut, Yoel looked *horrible* at the weigh-ins and needed help to walk back stage...that is not good for him, the org, or the fans.

despite his own height 'disadvantage' and similar age, Cormier has managed to become the clear #2 LHW in the UFC, and even went undefeated at HW against some legit guys, earlier in his career.

if Yoel is such a badass monster, then he should be able to find success at 205 too, no?

I don't think so. Cormier found success because a GOAT-level talent in a short fat mans body.

Yoel is a great fighter but he's not a GOAT-level talent. He's just a really, really super fucking amazingly good talent. But not GOAT level.

Also DC has 5 round cardio. Romero has 2 round cardio. Round 3+, Romero is going to be a midget sitting duck at the end of a 6'5" guys reach in a way that DC, who can always stay moving, never is.

what about Latifi?

Probably not as much as you'd like to think, though

What's your point?

 

[cevo]

Cormier is exception, at least I think so.

Romero is very good at fighting taller opponents, just watch his fights with Rockhold and Weidman. Both of those 2 could easily be LHWs by the way. Romero also has that elite wrestling and retard strength so no one is going to bully him around at any division.
