Chris Weidman vs. Yoel Romero added to UFC 205

[Wild]

Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will face off against Yoel Romero at UFC 205 in New York City.

Long Island’s own Chris Weidman will be fighting on the UFC’s debut show at the famous Madison Square Garden. MMAjunkie reported on Thursday that Weidman will fight Yoel Romero on Saturday, November 12th in Manhattan. The UFC hasn’t announced the matchup themselves, but it’s expected to be made official soon.

Weidman (13-1) lost his UFC middleweight title by 4th round TKO to Luke Rockhold in the UFC 194 co-main event. It also marked the first defeat of his MMA career. Weidman was scheduled to immediately rematch Rockhold at UFC 199, but pulled out with a neck injury, which later required surgery. That opened the door for Michael Bisping to come in and take the title away…

Tough fight for Chris IMO.

Tough for Romero imo. He won't finish Weidman in the first round and his cardio isn't very good after that

 

[MMAHAWK]

Great fight
This will be about the 9th time I bought tickets to watch Weidman fight. HopefullyI get to see him for the 3rd time.

 

[Greenbean]

205 is going to be nuts

 

[Left Hook Larry]

[Jdog93]

I dont know man. I dont see Chris getting this to the mat, and Yoel is an animal standing.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Easy fight for Joel. hopefully he has his supplement game on point and doesnt get anymore from China.

Total Beast

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Not a fan of either guy, but I dislike Yoel more so hoping for Weidman to put a beating on him.




Yoel will win by KO.

 

[Yossarian]

Weidman has this. Now that the supplements are out of the equation.

Ahh shit, hometown crowd, hope it's a good one. Need to reach out to my New York peeps and see what plan is going down for this fight weekend. About to confirm my travel stuff next week. I'm going to get bent over on hotels, I'm scared to even check prices.

 

[Buff Bagginz]

Romero didnt get caught. He will keep juicing, trust me.

Weidman is in for an UGLY night.

Yall remember what happened to Machida?

Romero is going to destroy Wideman or any 185'er for that matter.

Hes the truth

 

[Buff Bagginz]

Romero is a freak athlete and the first of his kind in mma. Its insane how athletic this dude is. He ankle picks dudes up like it aint no thang.

Snitches.

 

[jason73]

one of these guys is definitley going to crap their pants

 

[Megatron Robinson]

Super hyped for this one.

What a match up!

 

[BJJMMA]

Great matchup for this card. This fight needed to happen anyway. I will be pulling for Weidman but I tend to think Yoel wins this one fairly easily.

I got a Franklin on Romero. Lets see what the odds are first and go from there.

Sounds good

If I had any money to bet, I'd bet heavily on Weidman. I'm poor as fuck though so the best I can do is try to benefit you guys.
2nd round ko for Chris, coming off a front kick + punch combo.

Tough for Romero imo. He won't finish Weidman in the first round and his cardio isn't very good after that

The question is can Weidman take him down?
