Weidman vs Romero is official nov 12, UFC 205.

Weidman (-175) vs Romero (+145). Romero's cote is probably going to fall down until the event (very attractive odd now)

After his huge lost againt Rockhold (so much damage taken). I don't think Weidman will be able to fully recover (his chin will probably not be the same). In addition to that, Romero is simply a beast with impressive wrestling skills which is a great advantage to stop Weidman's ground and clinch game. It is a 3 rounds fight so Romero's cardio will not be so much of a problem. This is going to be a very hard fight for Weidman and dealing with Romero's power is not an easy task.

In conclusion, if you wanna bet on Romero for this fight, do it now !

I'm hoping for Weidman, though.

True, not official yet but it's almost done..

"MMAjunkie reported on Thursday that Weidman will fight Yoel Romero on Saturday, November 12th in Manhattan. The UFC hasn’t announced the matchup themselves, but it’s expected to be made official soon."

Don't know how Weidman is going to deal with this juiced Beast lol (Romero reminds me "TRT Belfort".. just unstoppable).

I think CW will sign the bout agreement at some point, but this is going to be a helluva fight. Pretty much a coin flip depending on how their camps went and who just has a better night. Same could be said for Rockhold and Souza.

I agree with you on Rockhold vs Jacare but not that much for CW vs Romero. The gameplan will be crucial for CW and he ll have to survive R1. (If he takes a big shot like the backfist that Jacare absorb R1... i think he ll get finish by TKO)

What are your predictions for these 2 fights?

I think if he tires Romero out, then he gets the late TKO.

I am interested to see how they both look.  I mean Romero looks good, but interesting to see what he looks like if he is 100% clean.  Also interested to see what Chris looks like.  He had been way smaller in the Rockhold fight then previously, interested to see if he put any size back on.

I don't think this fight's going to happen. 

Rumors are swirling that the whole Serra-Longo camp is basically pulling out in solidarity with Iaquinta, which includes Weidman and Villante, both of whom were/are supposed to appear on 205. 

Also no sign of Sterling, and plenty of rumors going around regarding that one.

It's hard to pick against Romero. If Weidman is at his best, he's got as good a chance as anyone at getting it done though.
