Interesting comment as it seems to imply that he has noticed a difference with Weidman's build.

See pic below for comparison...



Looks the same to me...

Maybe Romero is just tired of being accused of intentionally cheating and is going with the "I know you are but what am I" defence/deflection that is so popular in politics these days.

Romero is likely just firing back because of comments like this from Weidman:

“(Romero) failed while USADA was testing him randomly so he had the balls to take it then along with a lot of other guys. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still taking something, maybe he’s getting smarter with it,” Weidman said.

“Once a guy fails a drug test, I’m never naïve enough to think now he’s clean.”

Looks the same to me as well....maybe he's really trying to say that Chris is a "gay"

Chris did say he was a lot smaller going into his last fight, 192lb about a week out, but blamed it on giving up beer, and after the fight an injury - I think. Lets see how he looks going into this one.

Might becompletely off, but didn't Chris say he " stopped drinking" and was looking to "lose weight" right around the same time usada took effect?

People forget that CHris was handily winning against Luke until he made that horribly sloppy kick that allowed Luke to take him down and work him exactly as he did Lyoto.

Chris was winning....and I'd pick him in a rematch. But it wasn't "handily" he was busted up pretty good.

I refuse to stare at two pictures of a man intently and judge his fitness.

Luke was winning that fight, the wheel kick was just Chris desperate attempt to turn the tide. The third round was a beat down s prefer 10-8 by all three judges.

He was barely winning on scorecards (if he were) but he gassed and got the shit beaten out of him till the end of one round and all over again the next so..yeah the kick was a factor...but he wasn't beating Luke that night..

He was winning as much as the 3-4 seconds CM punk was winning in his fight...you know, until he wasn't.

Sorry...I should have said he was gaining momentum, especially with his kicks...then he tried that Sonnen like attempt at a highlight reel move. And then he got smashed.

See my post above yours, Luke was winning on the scorecards.

Am I the only one who's just interpreting Yoel's tweet as meaning "I'm still bralic even though I'm getting tested" and having nothing at all to do with Chris?

I must've seen a different fight. The time I watched it neither guy was dominating, but Like was clearly winning. Then he put the exclamation point all over it.

That could make sense. English isn't his first language so maybe it was an accident that it could be read as an accusation as well.

I read it as an accusation but I could just be too used to those kinds of comments being made by fighters about other fighters.

Maybe he's talking about performance looks. Rather than physical looks. Doubt it though. Think he's just salty he got caught.
