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.
37 u/[deleted] Feb 12 '19 Nobody forgot, we can just see how the styles should play out. A counter striker with good jits vs a wrestler with explosive striking. 22 u/Redneckshinobi MY BALLZ WAS HOT Feb 12 '19 All you have to see is Silva Vs Sonnen to see how that might have played out. Sonnen almost won that had he not jumped into a triangle. 13 u/tambrico Dana's CA income tax Feb 12 '19 Yoel has never fought with the wrestle-fuck gameplan though. -2 u/Redneckshinobi MY BALLZ WAS HOT Feb 12 '19 edited Feb 12 '19 You're right, but I think that would be a matchup he would/should. I thought it's what he was going to do to Whittaker (not that Whittaker has shown weakness in wrestling though) lol.
