RE: UFC 213 - Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker vs Yoel "Soldier of God" Romero
Yoel is one tough, scary looking mother fucker! As an Aussie I really would love to see Whittaker win, this would be a huge notch on the belt. How it pans out I don't know - don't really want to be on the bottom of Romero.
Whittaker needs to stay on feet and bang, but watch out for the flying knees!
The preview of this fight gives me goosebumps!
It is a huge task for Rob to get past this freak of nature. Romero is great and conserving energy and then exploding when he needs to, but that has been when he has controlled the fights at his pace. Rob has a very aggressive and high pace style that always causes his opponents to engage early. Romero seems to stalk and sync his rhythm until he knows he can exploit his target. This always happens in the later rounds, but i really don't think he will get the time to do this and i am hoping Rob can get the better of him early before he has dialed in his rhythm. I have to admit though Romero is looking very prepared and dangerous as hell for this fight. ......Will be standing up pacing like a lion and nervous as hell watching this one.
