Have to go with Silva on this one. Even when Romero uses his wrestling, he's not really a control type of fighter and doesn't hold guys down. Silva would be good enough to survive on the ground and would likely be able to get back to his feet, where he would eventually pick Romero apart.
Could Silva hurt him? Rob broke the guys orbital and he didnt even flinch

Casual detectedRomero could match Anderson's fast twitch flying whatevers. Anderson would be flat on his back from strike or takedown.
I'm fucking hardcore PRIDE FC, K-1 Hero's, DREAM, Shooto, etc. fan, yo.Casual detected
LolRomero would demolish him. Prime Silva was 1 min away from a 50-45 decision loss against Sonnen. Romero is better in every way than Chael.
GSP fanboys/Silva haters don’t deserve rebuttalsNice rebuttal.
Lol @ calling Whittaker a better boxer than prime SilvaI could see Romero maneuvering Silva into position to exploit his reactions with feints, throwaways and perhaps takedowns. Yoel wouldn't come to him and he can kick at bay.
Prime Andy never fought anyone good as Yoel and was controlled by lesser fighters.
Also Andy never had good shoulder covers like Whittaker, who could also box better. I say, both Rob and Yoel are better in the pocket positionally. His chin was mostly in the air for baits.
There has been no one like Romero, Whittaker or Adesanya in the MW division that Silva ruled.
I'd favor Yoel, quite comfortably, and I'm sorta bigger fan of Silva.
