lmao you sound like Brendan Schaub. Romero never said anything ****phobic.
It sounded like he did, but it’s his thick accent and his broken English. 
And yes, his English really is broken. The fact he’s been in the U.S for ten years means absolutely nothing.
I’ve got several Latino friends that have been here in the States for 15+ years and speak worse English than Yoel does.

Izzy can't run forever another performance like that and Dana takes the belt himself. Ppl pay good $ for ppv and now the only reason ppl will be paying 4 another is to see Paulo knock him out. His next title defense needs to be sold as a co main event under another title fight cuz if that same **** happens again it'll ruin his career in the ufc

For whatever reason, Adesanya doesn't seem to have the hype momentum of some like Mcgregor, Rousey or Silva despite his performances and record--the latest one notwithstanding which was ******* disgraceful.

I don't see how he beats  Costa. I just don't. Seriously watching that fight was like watching Yoel try to lose. He had Izzy against the cage multiple times and let him off the hook.  It was really, really weird. Costa is going to smash him to bits. He will easily walk him into the fence and tee off on him, it will look like Costa vs Hall but worse. Izzy cannot handle being crowded. Whenever he doesn't have space he's pretty much got nothing. That's why Gastelum gave him trouble. That's why Periera KO'ed him.

@fishrat

Adesanya is a far more disciplined striker than Hall is.  He's not just going to trade bombs with Costa.  This looks like another fight where the slugger gets schooled by the master technician.

Also I blame Israel for how that turned out. Izzy was the one running. Yoel stood in the center and did the chasing.

Here's what happened: Adesanya got a taste of that power in the first after the overhand and was like 'Ok, **** that--I'm not stepping in'. He didn't want to fight.

i think theyre both equally to blame but like

lol israel you've spent the past 4 months downplaying yoel then you ran away from him for an entire 5 rounds. even when he was completely stationary.

which naruto episode did you learn that technique from

As long as i dont sound like skip bayless im totally cool with that Hahahaha..but i must of missed the part were it was not ****phobic but thats like 5 years ago not really relevant i was just using it as reference to all the shady crap yoel has done in and out fights. The **** he did in the tim Kennedy fight somewhat robbed Kennedy of a fair fight and a fight he was winning im always gunna hate on yoel for that. He used that broken English to his advantage that night.

Pretty much same **** as anderson fight if the openings are blatantly obvious hes not that good.
Paulo will destroy him any and every way he wants, he is a younger faster much better striking similarly huge MW.
I do disagree about the hall fight that was quite impressive actually, that was probably best hall has looked in ages he just got smashed by a dude with physical gifts he doesnt have and youth.
Yes Izzy is better than hall but in a gun fight id only give him a speed and tech advantage, hall has stopped impossibly tough guys.
