I'd rather get shot than go 10 rounds against Romero. Whittaker's career is like choosing "nightmare" difficulty in a game. Really hope Bobby Knuckles pulls the W.
playing skyrim on legendary
@@Yunes948 he playin halo on legendary
Yeah Bobby and yoel have been in some wars and will definitely have medical problems as they get older.
Looool he got beat up by Driscuss the colonizer. He’s on medium. Also, he lost the first fight….
@@gamebred3075 Doing the LASO challenge in Halo
Suprised it took 20 minutes for Joe to say Romero and genetics and specimen
😂
Lmao I love it@@ishyali9455
I haven't started watching it yet, and honestly I'm not sure that I believe you, I feel like u probably missed something before that
Lol
Real freak of nature
Whittaker has some balls to fight against this monster twice
Especially when said monster was in his prime.
@@CoolGuyMcGruffand missed weight pretty sure
@@Prinze203yeah wasn’t he like 215 or something crazy 😂😂
That’s what I was thinking
Props to kennedy for almost putting him away.
Romero was as close to unstoppable as it gets at this point in his career. Prime Whittaker is one of the pound for pound alltime greats.
Even with 40+ he is still good at bellator
he was +40 un this fight too
I imagine punching Romero would feel similar to hitting a brick wall.
Whittaker is yet to achieve his prime
it's unfortunate that yoel wasn't very intelligent
That round 3 is one of the best rounds of all time. Insane.
100%
yessir. banger
Best round ever goes to stipe Ngannou 1. Was disgusting 😂
You hear people talk about "leaving everything you have out there" or "willing to die in that ring". Robert Whittaker is actually THAT GUY dude has fought injured and won multiple times. He's the definition of modern day warrior
Now I understand why Bobby was telling he wanted to know Romero's hydration plan. He legit looked like he's made of stones.
In every fight before this Yoel was shredded and very lean, this fight dude looked like a bodybuilder all of a sudden.
@@seethemore6360its not just body but he got heavy frame when you punch him its like punching metal basically
Whittaker said it felt like he was punching concrete in this fight
@@crnogoraccrnogorac6616 Masvidal said he's the densest person he ever trained with, he said Rockhold and Whittaker were dead on, he said kicking him felt like a brick wall.
For Romero to be out here competing at a World Class Level, as a 73 year-old man is just crazy.
lol wait
I hear he was pushing triple digits
😂
75 and going strong
People who say "costa wouldve finished rob with 5 more seconds on the clock after the headkick" haven't watched this fight.
Robert Whittaker is a badass.
This fight is a credit to Rob’s toughness. No one gets knocked down by Yoel Romero like that TWICE and gets back up from it.
Such an amazing fight.
And wins.......
Wrong decision big time. Corrupted judges all the way. All the judges must be legally blinded. LOL
Didn't Romero miss weight for this fight to, rob is a legend
@@Last_Chance.
Robbery
Meanwhile we got Goddard stoppages at half the damage for title fights nowadays. The betting influences the calls way too much
These two fights were clash of the titans. Wish they didn't cut romero
Romero didn't want to resign .... he chose to get big money elsewhere
Romeros last fights were absolute snooz fests
1. He missed weight way too often and refused to move up in weight.
2. If he didn't win via explosive KO, his fights could become very boring.
Old and last fights were super boring
Romero was gonna make it a nightmare for new prospects to get up in the rankings lmao
This cant be true! How can a human being be this tough? True warriors right here, RESPECT
Top 10 fight of all time.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so this fight and the second one are my favorite fights all time and Robert is my favorite fighter
@@ExoticEiothis is the second fight
@@patrickgrant6389 I meant the other way around my bad
@@ExoticEioreally of all time . Cmon.
@@ExoticEioLawyler vs Rory, Conor Vs Diaz 2, Cain vs JDS 2, Justin vs Chandler,Hooker vsvDustin. Mendes vs Aldo 2, Jones vs Alex. I can keep going. The first 2 rounds of this fight were ok at best but nada special.
Yoel might actually be a brickwall like what is this dude made out of
A whole lotta steroids
@@musayibghani3986other fighters are on steroids and they're not like Romero
@@HamzaHussain-xk8vo whole lotta steroids with elite genetics.
The Cubans were known for their drug trials on athletes, yoel was probably the subject of certain trials during his wrestling training with the Cuban national team from a young age.
lots of people in the military are on roids just so they can bench a certain amount of weight and they're still fat
I don't get why this wasn't counted as an official title defense for Rob
Romero missed weight yes, but Rob won and he did not miss weight🤨
So be basically beat an opponent that also had an unfair advantage and he still doesn't get the title defense?
he doesnt defend his title in this fight simple as that
@@Sky-wo1ltSo if he had lost he would still be the champion?
Correct @@togrul3954
@@togrul3954yeah, they said so on commentary during the opening rounds.
If your the champion, and your opponent does not make championship weight, they forfeit their right to fight for the belt.. it’s a non-title fight at that point.
If the champ misses weight but the opponent doesn’t, the champ loses the belt (a la Oliveira) and cannot regain it if they win, but the opponent can gain the belt if they win.
@@Sky-wo1ltyes. But it also seems unfair to take away from rob when he did everything right. He made weight showed up and won the fight against the number 1 contender if his division whilst champion
One thing I always admired about Whittaker is that even when he gets dropped or almost KO'd he still goes forward and never stops being aggressive. There's not even a drop of fear in his blood.
Except when it was dricus..
@@smdd90 What a stupid comment. Dricus finished him but if he didn't Robbie would still be going at him which was the point of my comment
"OY OY!" "OIOIOIOIOIOIYYOYOYOY" Ill never forget romeros coach yelling😂
No dice "oy", dice "ahí" = "there" 🙄
Literally as I reading this comment I heard it😭😭
Round 3 has to be one of the greatest rounds in ufc history
How. It was a greatvKnockdown ny Romero but then they gagged each other 4 2 min. Bobby head kicked hom n jabbed him at the end of the round. Not even a top 10 round of all time. Cmon. It was a great round but wasn't special at all.
WITH A BROKEN HAND!!!! what a beast!
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.
yall impressed by Yoel for being this huge brick wall that can’t be knocked down??? I’m more impressed by Whittaker being able to survive that long with the soldier of god.
Can't wait for Whittaker v Khamzat. Borz is going to be tested.
So excited for that fight.
If he doesn't do something stupid like keep flying half the octagon with every attack eventually right into a counter, I see Bobby Knuckles winning quite handily.
You really think Robert stands a chance?
@@ashton_x1932 And you think he doesn't?? Based off what, short-notice Usman and yet he gassed by the 3rd round?
I'm not saying Khazmat ain't legit, I'm saying having a last-minute fight with a WW is not exactly the top test for the top of MW division.
@@ashton_x1932your boy gonna gassed himself out trying to takedown whittaker he might dominate him in early rounds but he would get slaughtered in later rounds.
Romero is the an elder ring boss. Gotta tag it a million times and hope they don't hit u with the one hit kill
Like fighting yorm the giant with only ur fists.
Lmao a souls reference. I was thinking the same thing, guy throws few attacks but yeah they’ll put you down if they land
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 🇦🇺
Watching Romero always feels like a black Wolverine I can’t help myself. It’s like punching adamantium.
Good analogy
Finally, I've been waiting for this for a long time
Was there for it live @ United Center, truly awesome 🔥
One of the best fights to get your friends into mma. Bobby fought prime yoel like a savage
Uncle joey did not lie on how funny the call outs are from yoel's corner "dale la combinación" "ese es tu hijo"😂
one of my all time favorite fights, the suspense watching live was crazy
One of thw best fights ive ever seen they put it all on the line
Romero with no weight cut issues and unlimited gas tank would be a cheat code
This is a career altering fight and rob went on to be a great champ
What do you mean, "went on to be a great champ"? He lost his title in his next fight (against Adesanya) and hasn't gotten it back since.
he never defended the title nor has he ever won undisputed title
@@gunner4life568technically this fight vs Yoel was a title defense if I’m not mistaken
@@dansiekman1454you are right I guess I misspoke, he went on to have a great career rather, put up a good fight vs Izzy in the second one and beat a lot of up and comers that were supposed to go on and fight for the title besides dricuss obviously
Thanks, a great fight. ✌🏻👊🏼
PUT PRIME ROMERO IN UFC 5
UFC games don't like to do good things.
Not possible. He won't fit
Probably something contractual with that since he's in bellator
Prime Carlos condit
ufc games have been scams from ufc 2/3 onwards
One of my favorites! I wish they would show the corner work also
Romero throws 1 punch:
Romero’s corner: “AYE AYE AYE AYE AYE, BYEH BYEH BYEH!!!!”
These two fights are my favorite in the UFC Robert has been my favorite fighter for so long omm im so glad he got an alter ego cause he had a hell of a run before Izzy came along and people started hating on him for no reason
Stop posting this weird as comment casual. BIsping vs Silva was way more entertaining. I'm saying that 2 say that both Whittaker, and Bisping got knocked down twice but that in a Title figh in different rounds but that was was pretty much it.Yoel took round 1, 2, 4 off and hrs a beast but always had cardio issues in those 5 round fights. Bisping n Whittaker won there fights and imo its very easy 2 judge both fights.
@@barbarapaparella1833 I have a different opinion than you agree to disagree let it go
@@ExoticEio n that's cool . Enjoy UFC 300.
Romero Won
No !
sure, and even more in Adesanya fight
None of the judges gave Romero a 10-8 round, Whittaker clearly won 1, 2 and 4. Dominant rounds by Romero in 3 and 5 though.
@@Ramble55 Nah Rob got dropped in the 4th, I would give that round to Romero but it's w/e he missed weight anyway and it was close
@@Ramble55completely wrong romero dominated 3 4 and 5 easily whittatker only got 1 and 2
Wow what beautiful fight....
This is one of the best MMA fights I've ever seen, even though it started kind of slow.
The cardio, will and heart in round 3 is out of this world
This fight was truly fantastic! What warriors they are! I think Yoel did the most damage, but it is round by round scoring. Whittaker is a beast of his own right! Amazing fight!
Romero eating that head kick then walking Whittaker down was insane
Masterclass fight honestly
That punch Yoel threw at the 1:57 minute mark was fucking terrifying lol
1:59 if u wanna see the punch, i thought he was talking about the spinning backfist near the end of round 4 or 5
@@nickmfp thanks, both were crazy. So wild how he’s just moving along slowely then burst into an attack so dam fast with so much power. You have to be 100percent on point at all times
ayayayayyyaya
Yoel won...
This fight is what made me a ufc fan
I feel like I could have slept Romero. FR bro
Miss Yoel in the UFC
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.
UFC casually dropping bombs ❤
Whittaker has the funniest looks/movements when he gets rocked, lol. It's hard to even explain, but there's something about the way he looks and moves that just cracks me up, I just picture him stumbling out of some Australian dive bar piss drunk
Yoel is a legend, he deserved to stay longer at the ufc, he beat izzy, whittaker and costa
Spectacular fight!
Romero's slow start costed him so much reminds me of Petr Yan they both start slow and it costs them in fights
GOOD FIGHT -- BOTH WAS DETERMINED .
Rob is one of the greats man...
Looking back on this, if Romero had not been so old/tired Whitter would have been TKO'd. But now it's history, amazing epic fight. 1st fight sold me on the PPV and this fight was just all heart past round 3, crazy
old ??? this was prime romero and plus he missed weight so he was like much bigger then whittaker
I dont know whay drugs Yoel, Costa and all of these other Brazilians, Cubans and Dominicans are taking to succeed in sports but it makes them superhuman.
Yoel has never realy been knocked out or even knocked down and he has taken some shots! It doesnt make any sense for a man in his 40s to perform and be built like that.
Yoel got knocked out cold in strike force, check it out
@@Jackson-ut7jjyears ago when he wasn't that gd plus it definitely wasn't cold it was slow
Some people are built like that but not in the states they soft
@@bastianpate-uc5hd Give me a break. I am tired of Joe Rogan and some other people saying some guys are built like that. Nobody in human history was built like Yoel at age 43!!! And Costa will look the same too at that age bc he will keep taking steroids.
You earnt that Robert. Well done.
Not gonna lie, extremely close fight. I wonder how things would've been had they both not gassed so early. I give Romero the slight edge for the win. Rob definitely had the quantity though, while Romero had the quality.
UNA INCREÍBLE PELEA DONDE CUALQUIERA PODÍA GANAR...😊
5:06 is my favorite. Romero - "I don't actually want to kill you (but I could)".
I really like this Romelo monster brickwall guy
Gotta love the Romero corner screaming AYAYAYAYAAAAY
Yoel and Chael can commiserate with each other that they will always be second best.
What a battle
Im surprised he won after taking a long beating like that. But its all love🥊🖤☝🏾
yay a romero fight ive never seen what a treat
This is the reason why I still respect and believe in the abilities of the tough Aussie: Robert Whittaker
The spectacular One for those who haven't witnessed how The Reaper fights !!!
Robert is a perfect example of endurance, resilience and
NEVER BACK DOWN Attitude, despite facing a KNOCKOUT BLOW !!!
He has faced one of the Most Fearsome and high caliber opponents during his career, The Ones like Yoel Romero (freestyle wrestler, five-time medalist at the World Championships)
And has emerged as the Winner !!!
👉👍He can be a Very Good Youth Icon to promote "The Importance of Cardio, Stamina and endurance"
👉AFTER George St. Pierre 👈
This spectacular fight was a perfect example of a classic say: 👉"Real Championship Fight begin in the third round" 👈
And You need to have a referee like this who interferes at the right spot and shouts "HANDS UP" !!!
But the presence of referee Big John McCarthy would definitely be missed in such fights.
It would be a great honor for me to fight Sauron's army with Whittaker and Romero by my side
The whos who on Bobby Knuckles opponent list is ridiculous! Hes fought top three guys forever it seems
Round 3 was a straight-up movie scene.
They should change their editing style at time and show some replays! I just don't get the UFC sometimes... So many gems in that round 3.
@@MVProfitsRound 5 is the 10-8. Round 3 was a 10-9. Rob was kicking him and they were clinching for like 2 min. Romero was trying 2 gwt rest probably. Draw at best but even if they had Joel Winning it wouldn't matter cuz he missed weight 4 a Championship fight.
@@barbarapaparella1833you don’t get a 10-8 for a knockdown lol you have to have complete dominance the entire round which it wasn’t.
I can't think of another fight in which one guy was fairly dominant yet barely escaped with his life on 3 or 4 different occasions, lol. Crazy fight
WHAT A FIGHT WOAH!
Why is no one commenting on the judge's giving it to Robert.. UFC need to change The rule's to how it is im ONE judging the fight as a whole instead of scoring each round 10 8 yoel beat him up ridiculous that you are able to win by getting your ass handed to you
Best draw I've seen 🙌🥰
What a wild fight
I remember watching this live. Shit was crazy I was on my feet screaming at the tv a couple times.
Nope , I diss-agree with the judges ; I want a rematch .
When I was a kid, I loved fighting but everyone told me it was bad and got in lots of trouble for it in and out of school! Fast forward 20yrs and now everyone loves fighting and gets paid big money for it!
man watching this live i could not stop jumping as australian/new zealander at the time , i was so afraid for rob in the 3rd and 5th my heart was coming out my chest so crazy fight was a draw i thought
Top fight
What a match❤❤❤
romero just plowed whittaker and still lost? the judges did him dirty
respect for romero👌
Whitty is a monster. So much respect for him. Can't believe he's being fed to Chimaev now. Doesn't back down.
Aussie soldier love your work brother keep climbing that ladder
What a beast! Great fight R should have the Vic though
Rob definetly win this !!
That’s up there with some of the most gruelling battles of ufc history!
what a fight.. both winners...
Crazy that Rob made this fight interesting. If he would’ve just stood there like Izzy it would’ve been just like that
WTF?!?! Yoel Romero win fight!
This fight seems like a pretty clear draw to me.
R1 10-9 Bobby
R2 10-9 Bobby
R3 10-8 Yoel
R4 10-9 Bobby
R5 10-9 Yoel
R5 is 10-8
I would say round 5 is the 10-8
R5 is 10-8
R 3 and 4 10-9 Yoel
Romero definitely could have been a champion in the UFC if he and his coaches made cardio a top priority. It would have translated into a higher striking output and not gassing out from wrestling. He was a classic muscle car on display.
this was clearly a 48-47 for romero
I agree I think round 5 could’ve been 10-8 or he won round 4 at the end
Absolutely no way Romero won the 4th round
