Yoel Romero reacts after Israel Adesanya suggests that he “ruined” their fight at UFC 248

Adam D Martin - November 1, 2020

UFC middleweight Yoel Romero reacted after champion Israel Adesanya recently suggested that he “ruined” their fight at UFC 248. Adesanya won a unanimous decision over Romero back at UFC 248 in March in one of the most disappointing title fights of the year. Heading into the contest, fans and media were excited about the prospects of the powerful and explosive KO artist Romero going up against the skills of Adesanya. However, the fight turned out to be a total dud as neither man wanted to engage, with Adesanya edging out a lackluster decision for the win.
