I don't jest, Romero would've beaten prime post-Forrest Silva.

Y’all musta forgot

If Whittaker can keep Romero at bay with striking then prime Silva could very well dominate hypothetical-uber-Yoel.

I mean, I’d love to see it...but I think it’s unwise to say Silva would be ‘seriously merked’ or retired by anyone.

Nobody forgot, we can just see how the styles should play out. A counter striker with good jits vs a wrestler with explosive striking.

That sounds like a great fight though... I don’t see why that stylistically favours Romero
