Never a truer word spoken. Romero is a piece of hell wearing 4oz gloves.

Adesanya has beautiful, clean technique, effortless economical sustainable striking power that lasts all night long. Its a byproduct of excellence, he has it ... in that department but MMA is much more than just striking. Enter Romero. A combat athlete, look it up in the dictionary n you will see Yoel Romero. Super clever, super deceitful which all truly great fighters are & super explosive with a killer instinct thats second to none. Romero hypnotizes you with rhythm n flow, he lulls you to sleep n then explodes on you like a nuclear bomb. He already got Adesanya publicly reacting to his physicality. Romero is an elite level combat Athlete, Olympic medalist, Im not sure Adesanya realizes just exactly wat kinda animal Romero is. Psychologically he seems light years behind the Cuban whos boxing rivals his World Champion brothers. I think Adesanyas best bet is to hope Romero gets old n shows his age mid fight.

@princeosars3298 Romero beat Whittaker up n took his punch resistance home with him. Adesyana profited from it. Adesyana nor anyone else would do that to Whittaker before he survived 10 rounds of hell vs Romero.

@anthonymcfadden9628 Romero is only a man too. If neither man has faded since last time out then wat yer saying is true. Romero's been in a lotta tough fights too.

@anthonymcfadden9628 Like Cormier he is an ELITE LEVEL competitor Olympic level, no breakdancer bums go to the Olympics & thats where i think Adesyana is gonna lern. Romero lulls guys to sleep with his rhythm, then explodes, it looks like he hypnotizes them but its his years of experience competing one vs one that gives him that "Magic" Why did he dance on stage ? Coz hes goofy n lovable ? Or coz hes an elite level competitor making shapes n drawing reactions from an opponent he thinks is a BOI ? The Diaz brothers start fighting you as soon as they sign the contract, Romero & Cormier start fighting you as soon as they find out you might be possibly, one day, just maybe in their weight class, thats how competitive they are, Romero has been reading Izzy since day one & has been licking his chops thinking about taking a chunk outa that BOI. Adesyana is no boy tho, he has paid dues in Kickboxing which is why he has that excellence, hes not just technical hes also battle proven & with a bit of slight of hand he managed to get to the top n fight someone in recovery from doing 10 rounds vs Romero for the title. Adesyana is no bum but hes not the real champ either. Whittacker was n wat damaged Whittacker is Romero, not Adesyana. I consider this a vacant title & if nothing has drastically changed since the last time either man fought I have to give Romero the edge. Hes too much in too many departments not to do at least some damage n when Romero damages you you stay damaged.

@anthonymcfadden9628 I kno you didn't say that, I didnt mean to suggest you did. Romero doesn't have that wet sack ov shite style of wrasslin that Cormier, Nurmagomedov n Covington uses tho. He will take you down, bust you up, go home n have a sandwich. Adesyana has that defense where he pops back up quick n he will need to or Romero will rearrange his face n turn his lights out like he did to Machedia. Dominic Cruz calls it paying now or paying later when it comes to defending take downs. You pay a heavy price in energy reserves defending em with all you have at the start or you pay double that price if you let the takedown happen n then you have to try to get up off yer back. Man, its a tough sport.

@anthonymcfadden9628 Im not complaining about wrasslers, most of em are fantastic athletes, brave, tough, intelligent skillful men but a boring safety first style is a boring style that wont bring money/fans or keep money/fans. So if , as you say, fans can like it or not they wont ke it or pay for it & the sport will be up shit creek without a paddle. Boxing promoted safety first fighters like Hopkins & Mayweather n killed itself, which let MMA take over now MMA is going safety first Bare Knuckle Boxing is making a comeback. A cowardly safety first style is boring, I dont complain if a wrassler ends a fight no matter how boring it is like Cormier n Nurmagomedov do, coz theres an end product to be admired n respected but boring position players like Covington & Usman (Their great fight aside) cant be awarded points for timidity, refusing to engage n holding a safe position, there has to be damage otherwise theyre just stalling the action. Its Prizefighting, not amateur wrassling. Ya cant compare wat Silva done in the sport to Adesyana, yes theres face value similarities but nothing else, Silva is one of the all time MMA greats, does Adesyana even have 8 UFC fights yet ? If yer gonna make a comparison then compare Adesyana to Uriah Hall. Continue to give amateur wrasslers points for stalling the action n playing it safe n amateur wrasslers will continue to dominate the sport & the sport will continue to force fans out n Bare Knuckle Boxing will continue to grow as MMA fades. Dont give points for nutral positions & penalize those holding/forcing neutral harmless positions n strikers/well rounded MMA'sts will dominate the sport & MMA will remain the king of the jungle.

@anthonymcfadden9628 Should be a good fight. Ferguson is big, brawny, tough & as unorthodox as hell. He may not always be pretty but he has that X Factor. Theres no magic or X Factor in what Nurmagomedov does, its A-B-C there for all to see every time but what he brings with it is excellent conditioning & a determination thats been unmatched so far. Ferguson has that determination, he has crazy never say die determination We've seen nobody put it up to Nurmagomedov yet, we've seen nobody put it on him & Ferguson might just be the man to burst his bubble.
