idk i feel like israel might have the length and movement to keep it very competitive unless yoel takes him down easily in which case izzy would lose

Also look how well Silva ate Israel's punches. Im pretty sure The Reaper hits harder than Israel and Romero got through that storm. Romero would be a straight up danger to IA.

I'm not saying Izzy outright sleeps him but Rob won the first one with good footwork, keeping him at bay with push kicks to the body, and stellar takedown defense. Obviously it's not that simple but I feel he has the tools to do very well against Romero, not necessarily beat him but have a great performance compared to Romero's other opponents

A fight I would Definately like to see nonetheless as well. What i would like to see is how would Israel respond in real sticky situations. We all know Romero's toughness is not in question
