Weird opinion: I believe Romero never took his mma career seriously. I think that's why he rarely threw, he had a wonky style, and he almost never wrestled, even when he had a clear disadvantage on the feet. I don't say that to slight him. I just think he was having fun with it since he knew how durable and athletic he was.

Good analogy

Romero had the same fighting style standing his ground, against Adesanya, but Adesanya was so scared after taking a solid punch that got his eye blinking like crazy. After that it was a nonstop running contest with only leg kicks. Whittaker fought with courage and skills to avoid many hits. He didn't just start running after feeling the power. Where's all the Adesanya fans saying "Did you expect Izzy to trade and take punches?" 😂 You don't have to run to be skilled and smart.

Whittaker is a legend, is and always will be my favourite fighter 🇦🇺

Finally, I've been waiting for this for a long time

Was there for it live @ United Center, truly awesome 🔥

Romero throws 1 punch: Romero’s corner: “AYE AYE AYE AYE AYE, BYEH BYEH BYEH!!!!”

Romero is so 'MASSIVE" compared to Whittaker. Romero now fights at Light heavyweight(205) in Bellator and he still has to cut weight to make 205.
