30-27 YoelWonder what would scorecards look like if the ref just let it go to the decision.
Bazinga! I definitely do not miss Bader in the UFCWe got some vintage Romero, now we're getting some vintage Bader...
Why would the ref stop the fight? There's literally no time left in the fight and Yoel was walking away. There would be no further punishment for Polizzi. Did the ref have money on Yoel by stoppage?

He's definitely far past his athletic prime, but he was such a phenomenal athlete even a greatly reduced Romero is still more athletic than many fighters. Never saw his opponent fight before but he was 10-1 and 4-1 in Bellator, so he seems like a decent fighter.Romero never had the best gas tank...but it is definitely lower than his UFC days. His speed has diminished as well. He still has good technique and power. The other bloke looked out of it in the second round.
Polizzi is a good wrestler, but he has very below average standup. Yoel was able to prevent the takedowns and just picked him apart on the feet with his powerHe's definitely far past his athletic prime, but he was such a phenomenal athlete even a greatly reduced Romero is still more athletic than many fighters.

I really hope Polizzi is getting paid a lot of money. He probably got CTE from his last 2 fights.Polizzi is a good wrestler, but he has very below average standup. Yoel was able to prevent the takedowns and just picked him apart on the feet with his power
30-26? Last round would be 10-8 after the last exchange.30-27 at the least if you want to give some 8’s. Much worse. But it shouldn’t have been a ko.
I think it was 30-27 Romero but his output was really low as per the usual, the other guy was worst lol.
Yup I gave Romero a 10-8 in round 2. Though I suppose if it had gone to decision I'd fancy r3 being a 10-8 as well, Romero did almost (or literally?) finish himI had rd 2 as a 10-8, The other guy literally didn't land a single punch and the only reason Romero didn't finish him was that he wanted to give him a prolonged beating until the very last second.

Mike Beltran bro.
Dude stops the Velasquez/Carmouche fight with 10 seconds left in the 4th of a title fight against the person winning because of the softest shots ever from crucifix with no warning, but he lets Polizzi get KO’d like 4 times and take a life-changing beating only to stop it after the bell when the guy literally can’t be hit anymore.
He’s the new Herb Dean, you never know what the fuck he is thinking.

The fight was over though.One fighter was clearly unable to intelligently defend himself. How many seconds were left in the fight is utterly irrelevant.
The bell had already rung.Romero walked away after the ref waved off the fight
