Yoel Romero looking BIG

[not surprised]

It's amazing to see his genetics kicking in at 43

I haven't looked forward to this type of match since Hunt vs Nelson.

 

[Flying omoplata]

When?

 

[Flying omoplata]

Guy is still under 6' in the manlet zone, albeit roided manlet zone. But manlet nonetheless.

 

[Just Creed]

Ufc?

No, bellator but with former UFC fighters

 

[Arnold Palmer]

The fact that yoel has been KO'd before baffles me

Early stoppage and he wasnt Ko'd ..def a TKO though

and he hadnt had his neck fusion yet

I mean to be fair, Romero has been in there with some HEAVY HITTERS and great strikers and hasn't been stopped since Feijao.

I would say some powerful opponents but not really someone with one hit killer power, Israel has shown that with some of his counters I spose but guys like Whittaker and Costa tend to overwhelm opponents more.

Exactly how good Rumble is now might be questionable but if Romero just hangs back looking for a big punch as normal I'm not sure thats a smart tactic.

Rumble has years of ring rust and he ballooned up to 260lbs of muscle now he had to deflate again to make 205. I think rumbles cardio is fucking shot. Its hard to bet against Anthony based on the past but he's going to gas quick.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

His eye is perma fucked up.

It’s karma for what he did to Weidman’s eye...lol

What’s that old saying, oh yeah...

“an orbital for an orbital”

 

[Simple Southerner]

War Romero

 

[Kumason]

A picture of his head and shoulders? Really guy?

That's a fact are you sure? I haven't seen the fight in a long time but I remember him getting dropped multiple times and smashed by Feijao and the ref had to save him. I can't recall if he was out out but he was certainly done done. It's easy to forget though, it was a long time ago.

Awesome

He probably didn’t even put on any size. He just doesn’t have to cut weight now. Either way I can’t wait to watch this one.

Side note: how do you watch live Bellator fights?

If it's too small to be a river, but too large to be a creek, it's a stream

Ah so the same as ufc.

 

[Ether13]

How does he look huge in a poster that just shows his face?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Honestly, Bellator should probably be in the Heavies anyway.

Yes, absolutely and while we're at it, let's also move WMMA out of the Heavies to compensate for the increased volume.

 

[Ideanudge]

Yoel was full of shit saying he didn't cut weight.

Would be interesting to see him fight at 205 considering he wrestled most of his career at 185 and hasn't fought at 205 since 2011.

He was saying he is fairly slim when he is in camp and would no longer have any weight advantage at 205. He is fit already, so cutting 20lbs is hard as it is and only failed twice in his long career, arguably once since the other time was commission interfering and him only being above by 0.2.
