Media Former UFC Standout Yoel Romero Loses Opponent

[Kingz]

Polizzi is a far more formidable opponent than Manhoef in 2022 anyway. So this is good.

You can tell when this thread got moved over to the worldwide because it went from everyone thinking Melvin was replaced with a bum to everyone thinking it's a better matchup.

I actually think Yoel is going to be a tough ask for Polizzi but he's a solid fighter and a great short notice replacement.

Good thing for Romero. Melvin is a terrible fight for him.

He should win tbh, Alex is the same size as a MW, and only has one course of action coupled with awful striking defense.

He's going to have a hell of a time imposing his wrestling game on Yoel. He could squeeze out a decision with pace, volume, toughness and grit but that's really his only path. Still more of a path then Manhoef, honestly.

Polizzi isn't exactly a can. He has huge potential. He is the last man to defeat Jon Jones in MMA (Not counting Hamill).

That’s a different Jon Jones. He beat Tombstone not Bones.

Dude honestly thinking about it, Polizzi is one of the toughest dudes I ever seen in mma. Between that flying knee and that 15 minute ass whooping he took, that dude is tough as nails.

He survived the same type of strikes from Yoel that put Rockhold's lights out. Polizzi would fuck up a lot of legit UFC MW/LHWs to be honest.
