I can't see Tybura making it to round 3. He looked reeeal demoralised under Romanov.

Since Romanov weighs 236, he should try to go to 205, he could dominate there

Romanov was rag dolling Chase Sherman who's the same size as Tybura. Once he cut all that weight he became that much more dangerous.

You can really see that this altitude is having an effect on these fighters. Fingers crossed that it won't affect Aldo or Merab later on tonight

Romanov is a wrestler, wrestlers aren't comfortable putting hooks in as a general rule of thumb.
