    Romeros forearms connect to his elbows and no tapering thickness, then his elbows to his biceps/triceps are seemingly the same size too. Like a plumbing joint - the elbow socket wasn’t smaller than either side, it just happen to be able to bend. I got to wrestle a tiny bit in cuba with him in 2010 but I was also 8 classes smaller so big grains of salt. He’s on another level of freak athlete. Guy has leg arms. With knelbows. RIP The Chris. Still my boy.

    About the Yoel Romero speculation, let's not forget Matt Lindland was also an olympic silver medalist and he trained with Randy Couture, who had a lot of knowledge of MMA and Team Quest were masters at game planning. Plus, Romero defected Cuba in Germany in 2007. We all know MMA was not predominant in that region at that time. Therefore, the speculation that Romero would have 20 title defenses and be the G.O.A.T. is a bit of a stretch.

    I disagree with Anderson not being able to beat top 10 today. The middleweight division has lacked elite grapplers for the last 6+ years. Nobody does any submissions. He literally won a round against Adesanya in his 40's in addition with having an amazing longevity long after breaking his leg, and he is a complete fighter. Adesanya, Romero and Alex has ZERO submission wins, even Whittaker has ZERO submission wins inside the UFC and the list goes on and on...

Even Alex with around 5 MMA fights became the champ. The middleweight divison is overrated now, and it lacks elite grapplers like I mentioned...

And you could say that things about Volk didn’t have a full camp, had to travel, is coming off an injury, but like Weasel said, Volk knew all of that going into this.

    While I do agree Romero would've been a monster had he started MMA much earlier... that whole 20+ title defenses thing seems awfully speculative. Can't you say similar things about any of those ultra-athletic top tier wrestlers from those days? What about someone like Adam Saitiev who beat Yoel Romero twice, first at the 2000 Olympics and again at the 2002 World Championships? What about someone like Cael Sanderson? If Cael had started training MMA when he was 18, he probably would've been pretty terrifying as well, right? What exactly is it that makes you conclude Yoel would just automatically be a completely unstoppable force in MMA when he wasn't even unstoppable at wrestling? I'm just trying to wrap my head around that thought process.

I understand that his career is young, but since you mentioned Cedric Doumbe I assumed longevity wasn’t a factor. Also, if we’re honest, Islam slightly out struck Volk in their first fight so I wonder if he’s generally better on the feet or just that night? Anyway, obviously there are no wrong answers.
