Adesanya did what he had to do. Reminded me of Floyd.

Fought very defensively.

Romero can whine all he wants, he was the one doing most of the dancing and posturing.

Adesanya doesn't engage though. He wants to just run whenever it get close. It was the same problem with Anderson Silva. If someone doesn't engage him it's a boring fight.

Izzy fought that smartly because he didn't wanna become a meme like Pac-Man. As boring as that was I can't hate on him for living to see bigger fights.

Rogan just said it. Adesanya fought the way he had to with the approach Romero took.

Not exciting, but Adesanya fought the way he was supposed to.

Yoel is a tough guy to engage. Adesanya took some shots that would KO other fighters. Yoel didn't fight like a man that wanted to win a title.

I knew Yoel was going to do that lull and blitz technique, but I expected him to blitz the entire 5th round since he saved his energy.

I guess he didn’t care. He’s already got his millions from winning that PED lawsuit a couple of years ago.

if Yoel knows he's fighting a runner, he's got to attack him or take him down. It was just so bizarrely bad after that girls fight.

this. you can't fight like he did and expect a decision on a title fight

and then you definitely can't bitch about not "giving people a fight like a gladiator" or whatever that idiot said

dude came out and stood still for 2 minutes straight in the first round

I agree I just hate seeing a fighter literally sprint away from the other guy.

Neither fought like they were in a championship fight. Both of them look like total pussies following one of the greatest fights I have seen.

Like I said before I would fine both of them and strip the belt from Adesanya to keep bullshite like this from ever happening again. You want to headline a UFC fight you better be ready to get in there and fricking go to war. Otherwise frick em

You got it, Adesanya modeled his career after Silva whom was also hugely technical and let’s face it, boring. Good skill but terrible to watch.

Yeah they’ll never strip him. But should 100 percent be fined. But the announces basically calling the crowd dumb for booing was terrible. They shoulda got booed. Stop being fricking company man. Dana will prob try to deflect and just talk about the women’s fight (which was best fight I’ve seen in a long time) but fine both those Guys 100 percent
