Lifestone:
Was Romero expecting Adesanya to fight from the center of the Octagon which is his (Romero) strength? He must be a joker ! Every fight has its own strategy and plans. Asking your opponent to fight your style is foolishness.

Every fighter hopes that his opponent makes the mistake of bending to their style.

For instance, Joshua expected Ruiz to be on the back foot in their first fight because it suits Joshua well to come forward when his opponents are defensive. But Ruiz came forward, and thus refused to bend to Joshua's style therefore making the fight difficult for Joshua.

It is foolishness to you but it would have been wisdom had Adesanya made the mistake of throwing a reckless kick or punch (he did one or two and got punished), and running into a punch or kick that knocks him out cold.

Just like you said, every fight has its own strategy and plan. So, why are you rubbishing Romero's strategy?

Moreover, pre-fight, Romero had said that he was going to capitalize on mistakes, and not necessarily to fight dirty.

yorubas are warriors.

Before the white came, yorubas have been fighting. They have fought so many well documented wars

That's why I laugh at those flat heads who never fought for anything in their lives and the only biafran war they fought in their existence was led by a yoruba man call us cowards.

#fact ! Wa gbayi omo iya mi.

Correct guy. I don troll dem tire. If u see the way they were all boasting all over YouTube that Yoel will kill Israel.
One idiot said they robbed Yoel, I trolled him back saying Yoel was fighting like someone being robbed at gun point.
I don abuse all of dem tire.

Boring 5 rounds.

He did what he had to do.
That guy is heavier than him.
He can't stand with him pound for pound.
Just so you know, Israel knock Whitaker out in round 2 while Whitaker defeated this guy by unanimous decision.
Israel can choose not to fight him and wait for the real person he had trained for. But he chose to because he knew he could.
Not all fight can be entertaining

Their parents ran away from this shithole and gave them the opportunity. AJ might be a champ but he is not the best Heavyweight fighter because he is to butty/soft to challenge Tyson Fury.

Israel, that I love but was disappointed in his last fight, has only been in the UFC for 2 years. It's too early to say he is dominating anything.

Leave story for the gods Nyanmiri ! What are you and your parents still doing in the "shithole" ? Don't you like such opportunity too Igbo ?
Would you have said same if these guys were from arochukwu,land of demons ? Envy and jealousy kee you der ! " AJ is to butty/soft to challenge Tyson Fury" blah,blah ! Tyson Fury ko,Tyson Furo ni ! Thunder faya ya moda !

The crowd started booing them. Some people paid $8k to have a front roll sit. That is more than 2 years salary for an average Nigerian just for a boring 20 minutes dance.
You are misinformed, they were booing Adesanya because he made a joke saying he was going to send Romero crumbling like the twin towers. Americans took it as an insult and he was being booed at the end of the match.
The twin tower bombing is the most dreaded terrorist attack on American soil that claimed at about 3000 American lives

That can be so annoying... making some think the match was fixed or bought.
ADESANYA was the one being booed because of his comments on twin tower bombing. He even raised the middle finger at one time.

I'm fully anticipating Khabib VS Tony Ferguson's fight. I hope Khabib gives him the same punishment he dishes out to all these trash talking opponents (Mc Gregor and Co).
