Yoel Romero If there’s one thing we can all agree on (and there may, in fact, not even be that), it’s that any time your post-fight speech overshadows your actual fight, things probably didn’t go according to plan. That’s Yoel Romero ’s story after his third-round TKO of Lyoto Machida in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 70 headliner Hollywood, Fla. It was a spectacular performance, if you can remind yourself to just focus on the action between the horns. With the power and poise of a large, predatory cat, Romero (10-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) stalked Machida (22-7 MMA, 14-7 UFC) in the first two rounds of the FOX Sports 1-televised bout, pinning him against the fence and pelting him with power shots. In the third, he took down the former UFC light heavyweight champion and elbowed him in the head until his body went limp .
