*People taking about Romero's power but he couldn't knock out Whitaker after 50 minutes*

[Seiryoku Zenyo]

While Adesanya knocked out Whittaker twice in les than two rounds. That's not an opinión, that's a fact.

 

[Paulsp]

Romero softened Whittaker up

those wars changed rob forever and made it easy for Israel to finish the job

This is kinda like saying Brian Ortega has Tyson esque power because he KO'd Frankie after years of no one else being able to.

 

[Hatuwkoi]

TS got knocked up by Romero, confirmed.

 

[Fraz]

Adesanya needs to publically thank Romero for being the main factor in his KO over Whittaker

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Romero has more raw bludgeoning power, Adesanya has better accuracy and timing.

 

[randomg1t]

so you're saying romero doesn't have power?

lol.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Romero softened Whittaker up, obviously. Israel couldn't do anything to ancient Anderson Silva for fuck's sake <Lmaoo>

Romero is pure power. Israel is accuracy. He caught him with a nice counter.

 

[GrayArea]

Romero destroyed Whittaker’s chin and he’ll never be the same again.

similar to Silva+Hendo destroying what was left of Ping’s chin before gsp lucked out and cherry picked him

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Woodley couldn't KO Wonderboy after 50min with him, but Pettis did it in under 10.

 

[bad mojo]

Both Romero and Whittaker left years of their lives inside the cage. I wouldn't be surprised if Israel KOs Yoel, just like he did vs Robert.

 

[nopeavi]

Izzy's build is actually pretty deceptive...Yoel will need to wrestle or his manlet stature might do him in

 

[MCS]

Romero isn't really a striker, he's more 1-shot explosion, while Adesanya is a top notch striker, so approach against them is different. It's probably better to try to outpoint Yoel from distance and take Ade down.

 

[Mammothman]

To be fair Whittaker was fighting like a total moron against Adesanya, swinging and throwing hard shots the entire fight asking to be countered

 

[Taric]

Big Nog was able to knock out Schaub, but Arlovski couldn't.

... Such a dumb conversation lol

i'd agree but adesanya likes to back up in exchanges, and he's been hit while doing that a couple of times. romero swings fucking hammers in his fists, if he can close the distance and explode in that kind of exchange, izzy could go to sleep.

adesanya needs to stay the fuck away from him. romero throws him around in the clinch, mauls him on the ground, and has a good chance of hurting him from mid distance. but if israel stays away and throws his kicks and straight punches, he can outpoint him quite comfortably.

Nonsense, you’re psychologically trying to rationalize the inevitable, Izzy is going to fuck up Romero and make it look easy...Don’t forget Borrachina as strong as he is couldn’t knockout Romero, and matter of fact Romero stuck his tongue out at him the whole fight.

Izzy will beat Romero ass down and Sherdog is going to have a meltdown...<45>

 

[eiyuu]

No one was able to KO Minotauro Nogueira. Not Fedor. Not Crocop. Not Hendo. Not Sylvia. Not Josh Barnett.

Until Nog fought Frank Mir.

I guess none of those fighters have power save for Mir.

 

[ThoseAreMyShoes]

Both counter punchers.

I think this will be a pretty dull fight with Romero sleepwalking to a wide losing decision.

Unless Izzy does something dumb like going headhunting.
