MMA-UFC UFC 248: Adesanya vs Romero | 7 March 2020 | Sunday (Australia time)

[mouncey2franklin]

Honestly, to me that is Yoel's win. But will the judges give it to a challenger in a slow fight like that? I doubt it.

 

[00Stinger]

4-1 Yoel. Can’t call a bloke out and avoid the fight.

both of them are counter strikers, this always had the recipe for a quiet fight

 

[00Stinger]

lol Costa you roided up dickhead

 

[Ryz]

Israel split decision but his stock didn't go up or down after that fight regardless of the decision.

Despite what people feel about the decision of Rob's fight with Yoel, shows how tough Rob is.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Yoel leaving the octagon with way too much energy left.

 

[Engimal v3]

Yoel leaving the octagon with way too much energy left.

Yeah, he really should have launched the Cuban missiles in that last round. Much easier to say than do though.

 

[catpremier 07]

Wowee glad I didn't pay for that. Poor performance by Romero limped his way to a defeat. Adesanya won easy.

 

[Grockadoc]

Izzy to leg kick to a decision.

Bang on the money.

 

[Struggle]

Romero you just stood there. You can't complain about the other guy

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Yoel needs to listen to himself ffs

 

[catpremier 07]

Romero reckons he was pushing the pace???

 

[Dan]

Not the best title fight.....very tactical.

Can't blame Izzy......Yoel very dangerous.

 

[00Stinger]

how did one judge have it 4 rounds to 1 for Adesanya?

 

[Grockadoc]

Romero reckons he was pushing the pace???

I think he is right.

He was the one coming forward. He was the one pushing. Adesanya content to sit back, back away or throw the leg kick. Hardly a wild claim from Yoel.

 

[Ryz]

Romero you just stood there. You can't complain about the other guy

Both of them complained about the other.

Both of them were responsible for that.

Both of them should show a bit more humility.

 

[Grockadoc]

how did one judge have it 4 rounds to 1 for Adesanya?

1 Yoel.

3 and 4 Adesanya.

2 and 5 were 50/50.

Could have given both 2 and 5 to Adesanya.

 

[Engimal v3]

I think the decision was fine. I had no issue with the fight. Standing and banging with Whittaker is a different thing than standing and banging with Yoel.

If Adesanya didn't keep his distance and got KO'd, we'd be hearing that he should have moved around more. Can't please everyone.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Romero you just stood there. You can't complain about the other guy

Izzy didn’t do any better. Leg kicks with less intent than Hookers shouldn’t be counted as strikes. It was 5 significant strikes to2 in Yoels favour for the entire fight.

And the same for Yoel for those saying he should have utilised his wrestling more. If he went in and got tagged, we'd be speaking about the fact Israel can strike from almost any angle.

The worst thing about all of that was Paulo Costa leaving the arena as soon as the main event finished.

what the fu** are you doing? You’ve flown half way across the world to call out the guy,he’s about to cut a promo on you and you’re out of there!

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

A damn title fight. Yoel just had to do a hell of a lot more.

He possibly got asked to leave.
I think he wanted to enter the octagon.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Fight was as bad as lewis v nagannou

 

[Engimal v3]

What's next for Yoel? Too many contenders in the division for a rematch (Costa, Till, Whittaker, Gastellum, etc.). Back to gatekeeping?
