He also did better in terms of wrestling against Romero than Weidman did.
Even though he is heavily credentialed Romero’s wrestling didn’t really translate all that well to MMA for some reason. Chael Sonnen did a breakdown as to why back in the day; something about the Cuban wrestling style.
Weidman also wasn’t nearly the same fighter after the Rockhold fight. The multitude of injuries combined with that life altering beating really took it out of him. Similar as to how Jeff Lacy got turned old and past his prime overnight after the hellacious beating he took from Joe Calzaghe.
