Romero's knockout power and yamasaki's stoppage. A perfect mixture for murder.
Lmao I laughed so hard at this. Literally a recipe for disaster.
Mario “If he dies,he dies” Yamasaki lol
@@blakeb9964 if Im fighting romero. Then seeing Yamasaki as our referee. I'd say, Mr. Yamasaki, in my country, Its okay to Lose.
Nothing Follows I don’t want to be a warrior today Mr.Yamasaki 😂
@@nothingfollows3009 lol I'd literally turn around and leave.
All Yoel's highlights sound like bear attacks....."He's trying to survive! He's running, he's not gonna make it!!!!"
S'all good man! 😂😂😂😂 that is real 😂😂😂
U also have a bear as ur profile 😂
He's definitely a beast 😂😂😂
Ahahahaha nice one man 😂😂 couldn’t stop laughing, it made my day for sure 😂😂
Cuban Missile Crisis
Getting finished by consecutive elbows to the kidney is the craziest thing ive ever seen. Dude must have been pissing blood for months.
That made me cringe so hard. Can u imagine? Holy hell dudes a savage.
It was hard to watch but notice if he kept attacking the face, he would've probably killed him
thats more like the liver since its the right side
@@MarkzBaui26 thats nowhere near your liver

Luke Rockhold is the goat for being alive. Let's be honest 99.9% of us are dead after he landed that uppercut after Rockhold was already out lmfao
@QU1CK SC0P3 • 87 years ago glass chin and bad defence
@Max -x you would die after receiving those punches “silly goose” 🥴
No your born with it big thick neck also helps take the force but some mofos with twig necks can take it so genetics
@Max -x Yoel once got into a car crash and had his neck fractured, apparantely doctors said that due to his unique neck he got out easily, as any other person would have been decapitated in his place. how are you gonna tell me this man is not superhuman?
@QU1CK SC0P3 • 87 years ago *defense
This is one of the scariest fighters I've ever seen, he can do it all its he was born for this
This makes me realize that it's ok to be afraid of some people.
Lol
I'd say it's good for your health even.
You need to see young prime mike tyson lol.. But this scared too cause full package fighter can hit with everything
@@dsories6219 yeah that's true but we talking bout 2020 lol
@Le Monke wow so cool
Met Yoel at a gas station in Miami at 430 this morning. Dude was so humble and was honestly happy and excited to hear that I was a fan. I mentioned how I love how whenever he fights someone they are really never the same after lol. His eyes lit up!!! Much respect and love to you man. Awesome humble dude who took a min to say hi to a fan and honestly I felt he appreciated it like I did.👍👍👍
I hope u took a picture with him??
@@Zakaria-kd3rn he was with 2 females after a night out. I wanted to shake his hand and say hi more then take a pic in the moment. Too much respect to ask for a 430am pic of him after partying lol
I honestly think he realized that and was very cool and thankful I was a fan and had respect for him rather than some fanboy trying to snap a pic for social medias
@Shlok Ahuja nah papo. Truth👍 cap means lie right? Lol not in tune with the 12 year old lingo
@@anthonydetmer it does, your good
i still remember Romero kissing Rockhold and telling him he loves him. scariest thing i've ever seen
He his top bitch now lol
Romero loves all whitch he destroyed
I wonder how good Kennedy could of been if it weren’t for the Vaseline Incident with Yoel
@@awhiterhino5632 truth is kennedycheated in that fight attempt end of the round before stoolgate he grabbed yoel Romeros inside glove which is illegal and punched him 3 times and ref missed it so tim should be dq for that
The sync of his feet and his punch on the first knockout is insane... The flow and the precision.. it was so athletic
imagine fighting Yoel Romero and seeing that Mario Yamasaki is your referee !!
Kevin Cloonan hahahahhaahahah, idt many ppl got this comment loo
RUN
Yeah, I think I'll pass. Legit chance that he'd break my skull before stoppage
Id be like no thank you fuck this dont want no brain damage toooday.
Eventually Yoel will get tired of landing so many attacks on me and I'll come from behind and ko him. Thanks to Yamasaki

Costas Ford I CANNOT STOP THIS FIGHT UNTIL YOU ANSWER ME.
I WANNA LET YOU BE A WARRIOR BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU WANNA DIE OR NOT
Crazy to think about how many controversial fights he's had. The 12-6 elbows, the late flying knee stoppage, the controversial decisions against Whittaker and Jacare, and the win over Kennedy after getting extra time to recover between rounds.
Imagine if he became champion
Tim Kennedy cheated by grabbing his gloves
4:19 perfect timing, perfect left hand lmfao
Dude, that hit from Yoel to Rockhold...Took a year from his life
Andrej Slavica poor rockhold, boys gotten starched so many times.
They call that a Cuban face-lift
Rockhold went down to Latin America and had a bunch of dimes suck more life out of him too. What a pity.... lol. Relax, Luke is a lucky MF
@Darren Reddix More people know who David Branch is than people who know who Israel Adesanya is. you stoopit?
Took 3 years from his modeling career
Imagine if Yoel started MMA immediately after his wrestling career. A young smashing machine with so much ground control and stability
Got dropped by UFC. Must not be good

he was such an exciting fighter to watch...miss him at ufc.
Mario “if he can crawl he can still brawl” Yamasaki Saw it somewhere lmfaoooo
It's in the replies of the top comment. That was straight stupid funny
3:34 that smile is so innocent you almost wouldn't think Yoel just got done turning Brunson's liver into sloppy joes
I bet brunsons dooz on the next day was like a horror movie
Oh he shit blood definitely
Dude I was like this ref cant know what liver shots do to you lol
Innocent? That smile look evil asf lol
To this day!
*That was surreal. Yoel's combos are amazing.*
at 0:03, Yoel's corner seeing the punch coming and screaming: OOW HE'S GONNA DIE
Bro for real lol that's the best corner call in ufc history
dude just chased and beat up Kennedy like he owned him money
😆😆😆😆😆
🤣
He was desperate, coz Kennedy almost had him in the previous round.
@@Nawazaahr kennedy almost had him because he grabbed his glove.

Gold!!!!
Lmfao
Like he couldn't hear that sound of contact. Vicious
Romero has truly fought some great fighters 👍♥️
One of the greatest to never have the belt🔥💔
3:23, referee was like: 1 rib, 2 ribs, 3 ribs 4, ribs..... 12 ribs, YEP, ribs are gone. Stop the Fight!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Lmao
It was legit 12 elbows lol
The way he smiles after such savagery is insane
hahahahaha... I literaly spit my drink...
Mario "OK, he's dead" Yamasaki
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahahaha
LOL Pahahahaha
Mario "Hey, enough's enough he's not breathing!" Yamasaki
Imparable... A mi parecer uno de los mejores luchadores
He is the best fighter
There will never be anyone like Romero in the UFC. He did all this in his forties
i love it when Yoel runs to finish and slips, it happens every time classic
too much torque!! LOL 😜
Kinda has a primitive vibe to it
He's just too strong for earth's gravity
It was Mother Nature holding him back to minimise the damage
@@llawma2588 lol
4:23 great stop by the great Yamasaki, Yoel's opponent was still actively breathing.
RONNY ?
You know you've seen some shit when that crowd doesn't wake you up 😂
One of my favorite Fighter💪 He is underrated
Kennedy: You gonna stop this fight, bro? Yamasaki: Nope. The coroner hasn't even arrived yet.
Romero is like a muscle car with too much torque. He’s so powerful his legs slip out from under him
Paul Gorowitz literally 😂😂😂 like that is so fucking accurate
Best comparison
Its cus his upper body is bigger than his lower body naturally he's off balance
Paul Gorowitz you can’t say that about mike Tyson though who has thick lower body. Romero is built like a wrestler similar to brock lesnar, you want most of the weight in the upper body
@@missionpupa you mean built like a steroids guy similar to brock lesnar lol
All Yoel ever wanted in that Rockhold fight was the kiss. He loves him..
no, he LUHs him.
I LUH YU
@@oftankoftan MAIKUH BIPPING, AI LUHH YOOOO
Lol 😂😂😂 that definitely was a fairytale ending 😘😘😘😘😘😂
this is why Yoel would be a terrifying prison cell mate...
Yoel es un monstruo de peleador y lo admiro más por que cuando peleó con adesanya le hizo sentir el verdadero terror y adesanya lo admiro por sobrevir a él en esa pelea y salir ganador que peleadores waoo
Who's here in 2022, miss u yoel ❤️
He's the guy who got me into MMA. My all time favorite MMA fighter. I will always be a Yoel Romero fan.
haha been watching since madden 18... then I see you on this video just scrolling comments. Yoel is my favorite as well!
Mario Yamasaki: Chris is still breathing, I can't let him quit!
Hahah
Piensas w this highlight is amazing
Joe when yoel hit a flying knee: best timing with that shot Joe when masvidal after 5 seconds: nearly has a heart attack
This man trips and slips almost every single fight when he sets in a sprint for the finishing blows. His feet just can't keep up with his immense torque power from his legs.
@Toastcano718 oh I'm sorry I got your feelings hurt. Let out much? But thanks for pointing that out...guess my comment is than proof that some great minds think alike. Your maybe just jealous that you don't own such a mind? It's okay.
@Toastcano718 wow it really bothers you doesn't it. You do realize your wasting time here. Nothing better to do with your life than being angry at some random comment writer on KZhead? Damn who butt hurt you so much.
@Nazeem dead ass who gives a fuck 😂
@Toastcano718 you wanna be relevant or something dude ? 😂
@Toastcano718 good man
That Brunson finish has to be one of the most brutal finishes I've seen, i could feel those through the screen
Yeah that was tough to watch
El animal! El mejor de todos los mejores el Dios de las MMA
Love how the first clip is Rockhold getting absolutely rung 😂
Mario "if he dies, he dies" Yamasaki
LOL!!! subbed for that one
But did he?
Oh well...🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️. Yamasaki always thinks they can take a punch or 12 after a KO...just on GP.
😂😂😂
For real. Yamasaki must be a little blind or something. That last one was extremely brutal.
6:00 Yamasaki waiting for the soul to leave the body
Seth Organ Bro you have me rolling 😂💀
Hit him with the knee at the back of the head, and people wonder what happened to Weidman...
PheseantNetsuke Nah brother that was the side of the head not the the back.Weidman had a huge cut on the side of his head from that knee
@@manuel1654088 the first hit was side, but he fell on the knee right on the back toi

Romero is my new hero, unveleable at 41 years, so strong, his proud in figths, he looks like gentlemen from old school days baby Arriba Romero!!! Ojalá Dios le brinde una oportunidad de ser campeón y retirarse en paz, SOLDIER OF GOOD!!!.
What a beast, what a fkn beast !!
4:22 Mario is like "He's still breathing"
Brunson is on every fighter's highlight i swear
Yeah, every highlight but his own
@@p.haugen7565 haha so true, i love it when brunson gets finished the dude is an asshole
@Feel drill 😂😂😂😂😂
Romero beat a prime Brunson that could actually take a shot. The Brunson we know now gasses in the first round and gets shut down with one good shot to the chin.
You gotta have those people.
That uppercut on Rockhold is still one of the most brutal knockouts I've ever seen. They did Kennedy dirty in that fight though, yoel stayed on the stool for a whole extra 30 seconds
that elbows to the ribs tko was the most brutal tko ive ever seen
The Priest : Ashes to Ashes... Mario Yamasaki : Stop the fight!
Makes you mad seeing this knowing dudes a beast and blew his shot at beating Israel
I no longer watch the UFC now he was my favorite fighter but he blew his opportunity never thought he go out like that
Possible math fixing?
Yeah i was disappointed. He wanted to show us what a real champ is then complains about it
He didnt know how to beat Adesanya. Watch the fight again. He tried. Adesanya wouldnt let him.
Adesanya is the #7 P4P of all time on Fightmatrix. He's not going to give anybody the win. Yoel hit him really hard, but this is ADESANYA we are talking about.
That guy is from another planet !
That finish with a dozen drop elbows to the liver was vicious
How did brunson's liver survive that onslaught? Some of the nastiest body work i've seen
Right
Reminded me of Woodley/usman
Few moments make me cringe like that one did. OUCH!
*kidney
Liver is in the upper right

Chris "I'm going to attempt a takedown on a multiple time world champion wrestler" Weidman
ButterBall and Olympic silver medallist
He did take him down in earlier rounds.
In his defense, when he fought Demian Maia he was going for the takedowns a lot and handling himself in the ground in top position very decently. So I would say that he is definitely qualified to go an try takedowns on whoever he wants.
Chris is an All-American himself
@@divyjain123456 he got a few takedowns that he couldnt secure and yoel simply stood right back up from. once yoel decided to do a wrestle on chris, he styled all over him and held him down until the end of the round. then chris didnt learn the lesson that olympic medalist > all american, decided to have a date with romeros knee and his soul left his body. rip to a fallen soldier o7
I was literally shouting "STOP IT MAN!!! STOP!!!!!" at Mario Yamakasi when Yoel was ground pounding Kennedy but he deemed that it wasn't good enough for a stoppage. Perhaps I should learn what is a good stoppage....
This is my comfort video
*Yoel needs to come to this fight with a beard bc that's the most DANGEROUS version of himself.*

Just learned about this dude Yoel from an earlier fight I saw tonight. This man deserves a title. Jesus dude he's brutal, and get's fucked over too often by bad scoring. He won both the Whitacker fight and the Costa fight in my book. Both fights he let them exhaust themselves before he decided to whoop them. If these fights had 5 rounds he wins them easy.
Watching this makes me appreciate just how good of a ref Big John was. All of his stops are perfectly timed.
