Robert Whittaker vs Yoel Romero
Whittaker (-260) is one of the most well-rounded fighters in the world. "The Reaper" prefers to attack and can gauge distance well despite being comparatively short in stature for the branch. He will continuously throw jabs and kicks to keep the appropriate distance until he can explode inside with his
speed and unleash powerful combinations. Whittaker is one of the most effective defensive grapplers in the game, with a takedown defense over 86 percent. He generally defends takedowns owing to his movement and space management but you saw in the first battle with Romero his unwillingness to give up a takedown without maximum effort out of his competitor.
There aren't any clear holes in the game of Whittaker. He is hittable as a result of his desire to push the pace but he is not bad defensively. He is not an ace concerning offensive wrestling but he can compete if he receives top control.
Romero (+200) is an athletic marvel. Despite being 41 years old, he's got the speed and athleticism that many fighters may only dream about. He has parlayed this nicely in the striking game, as he floats around till he could explode forwards in a flurry of bombs. He can be somewhat tentative at the striking match, but this means hecould pace his cardio. "The Soldier of God" is also an Olympic silver medalist in freestyle wrestling. Much like his striking, Romero explodes into takedown efforts which make it extremely difficult for his rival to stop him. In case Romero gets on top and starts working ground and pound, most opponents are done.
Romero gasses. There are no two ways about it; his whole style is built around controlled bursts of energy to speed his cardio out as much as possible. We saw from the initial Whittaker battle, he gassed himself by always trying the takedown -- he did control himself better in his most recent bout versus Luke Rockhold.
Romero has begun to deal with some of his issues with his cardio, making him more dangerous. However, Whittaker fought the first fight on a badly broken leg and was able to use aggression in the striking game and excellent takedown defense to win. A Whittaker should only look better.
