Yoel Romero and Dave Branch verbally agree to fight each other

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

WHY do peoplethink yoelle is big?? hes only 15 pounds bigger than gsp and gsp is a small welterweight

Both are tiny wimps in their respective divisions, tell me about it!

 

[Meathead Jock]

Why is Romero's nick "peoples champ"? That's pretty stupid, considering he lost to Whitaker.

Had the nickname before Whitaker when he was clearly getting screwed over of a title fight so Hendo and GSP could fight Bisping and Bisping could fake injuries to ensure he got those opponents.

 

[JKS]

This is a good fight, Branch has the game to make it very tough for Romero. I won't be surprised if he wins

 

[VVarhead]

MWs need to stop ducking Romero.

Romero should get Gastelum, but dude doesn't take the fight.

Props to Branch for taking the fight.

Respect to Branch, the dude seems like a true warrior who wants to fight the best.

Agreed, Gastelum/ Romero was the fight to make. Who the hell does Gastelum fight now? I believe he said he wants more time off in 2018 so maybe he'll wait for the Jacare/ Brunson winner?

Anyone who beats the fuck out of Weidman will always be my friend.

War Yoel.

Cause he IS big

 

[Cantalope]

Win or lose Branch is the man!

 

[cakemuncher]

Ghey Jesus by explosive fast-twitch muscle fibers.

 

[GSP_37]

Interested in Yoel, but zero shits for Branch regardless of WSOF belts.

 

[ultramanhyata]

You dont get it lol. A people champion is the champion of the people lol. Him losing to Whitaker and not having a belt has nothing to do with it lol.

Are you kidding? Romero is the only guy in combat sport's history with the nickname "People's Champ" who never held a belt.

Pacquiao, Ali, Ortiz...

A guy who has never been champ shouldn't call himself "champ". Pretty basic stuff.

RIP Dave Branch

I like the fight. Branch is taking a big risk taking this but if he wins he's right back in the thick of it. Suppose that's the thought here.

 

[is normal]

People's champ: fan favorite, perceived as better than official champ and others because of charisma and muscles.
Unofficial/uncrowned champ: that other shit Lois is talking about. Skills, mmath and muscles are cornerstones of this type of champ. Notice the slight overlap.

 

[pick999]

such weak fight

 

[Sapp]

Branch definitely has balls.

Romero is a freak of the highest order, but he has a knack for making things harder than they need to be for himself.

Umm because being a peoples champion has nothing do with holding a belt lol. Didnt you get this when it was said 100 times in this thread ?

 

[OxSxM]

Big props for branch to sacrifice himself to propel yoel back to tha belt. Thats why i like this guy.

Riiiight... It's just a coincidence that every other fighter referred to as "The People's Champ" had held an actual championship title. lol
