Media Just rewatched Romero vs Costa

[BooBoyMan]

LMAO, you're the two that are trolling.

no way they're being serious at this fucking point man, we gotta let this thread die

...There was a reason Yoel ducked him in Nov. and called USADA on him in April.

 

[EyeOfNewt]

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Go ahead and tell Chiesa, Manuwa, Vick, etc. How wrong they are lol.

Okay, they are wrong. Josh Thomson and Anderson Silva thought Machida won every round against Shogun. Just cause you're a fighter doesn't mean you're good at judging a fight and can be trusted not to favor someone you like or are friends with.

 

[EyeOfNewt]

LOL still cant admit you were wrong about Costa before the fight.

Costa RD1 easily. He dropped Romero and had him faking a nut shot to break the action. And no Romero didnt drop him back, it was a blocked punch that had enough force to cause Costa to lose footing.

There was a reason Yoel ducked him in Nov. and called USADA on him in April.

No one had to call USADA on Costa. His own corner leaked that video where he was getting an IV shot lol. Reality is calling you mang. Please respond

Costa won get over it.

 

[JustBleed69]

1) Romero *the deciding factor*
2) Costa clearly
3) Romero clearly

Round 1) Although Costa takes OctagonControl and Aggression, Romero landed more strikes and more significant strikes while also having the higher strike/attempt ratio. Costa threw a lot making it appear as though he is doing more but he missed more than he landed. Both scored knockdowns and both absorbed strikes very well but Romero’s precision and shot selection was far superior.

Round 2) For the first three minutes Costa clearly out-strikes Yoel while the last two minutes were more even. Yes Yoel lands the last second takedown but not enough by any means to steal the round.

***Notice that by the end of this round Costa is wearing a lot of damage on his face. It was his round for sure but Romero’s work over the two rounds is really starting to show***

Round 3) It is competitive for about the first two minutes but then it’s all Yoel and Costa is just showing off his toughness but conceding the round nonetheless. Yoel is clearly the fresher fighter by the end while Costa just refuses to fold.

***Notice that Costa is wearing significantly more damage than Romero. Costa’s doubt is apparent in his demeanor. For the first time since his UFC debut we see a face of humility as opposed to arrogance***

The decision is read, Costa’s relief is apparent, Yoel’s surprise is genuine, the crowds reaction is appropriate.

A snappy comment but you know I’m being serious and you know I’ve made reasonable arguments, even if you don’t agree with them.

In March (not April) Yoel was telling the public Costa failed a USADA test. Bringing USADA's attention to Costa. The IV thing came out last year. Considering Yoel actualy failed for taking PEDs seems hypocritical. Some might even say snitching.

 

[Misanthropist]

The part that always irritated me is why did Romero let go of Costa in the end and moved centrally? I don’t wanna hear the excuse of being tired or fear of being pressured.

Whittaker is a much better fighter than Costa and yet in the second fight against Romero at the final round, he was constantly swepted, dropped and punched on floor after being pushed to the cage in round 5. Romero also copped a lot of pain from Whittaker yet never gave up.

But somehow lets go of Costa who was slow and gassed in round 3? I feel that if he punished Costa the same way he did to Whittaker in the end then he would’ve won the fight.

I think he honestly believed he had it in the bag, perhaps ring rust too.

Surely that tainted supplement was the cause for everything... but anyway, you're moving the goal posts.

Reality is calling.

Just saying. Costa was caught in the act. Romero was not. And the fact that he won the 27 million lawsuit hints to his innocence

 

[jk7707]

So you’re keen to allow three judges who know fu** all about mma define history? I know what the record books read but I also want to know the truth.

And the truth is that Costa won.

He was actually caught with PEDs in his system. LOL

Anyone believing a fly by night supplement company is going to pay a customer 27million is dumb as shit.

[frederick]

Hilarious that you sum up Yoel’s knockdown to Costa being off balance while the exact same thing applies to Costa’s knockdown of Yoel. They were equal circumstances.



Both were off balance at the moment the strike is absorbed, both shake it off like it was nothing.

Yep, especially the shot on Costa. Looks like it his his neck/shoulder and since he was already off balance pushed him down.
