Jacare the aggressor thus far. Romero waiting the counter. And waiting…and waiting. #UFC194

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) December 13, 2015

These might be the 2 scariest guys on planet earth locked in a cage. #UFC194 #Jacare

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) December 13, 2015

Yoel Romero drops Jacare Souza in first round with a spinning backfist out of nowhere. Hard ground and pound from there. Jacare unsteady.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) December 13, 2015

.@YoelRomeroMMA w/ the SPINNNING BACK FIST! #UFC194 https://t.co/iqc1guCOO7

— #UFC194 (@ufc) December 13, 2015

Bad idea, Yoel, after some nice "spinny shit." #UFC194

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) December 13, 2015

Holy crap. Romero just STONE WALLED an attempted upa sweep from Jacare. Go-ly.

— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) December 13, 2015

Most people would have died from that spinning backfist #UFC194

— Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) December 13, 2015

Motherfucking Jacaré is laughing at Romero while he's trying to punch him in the face!! #UFC194

— Yellow Power Ranger (@Sugarhigh5me) December 13, 2015

Romero looks like Demetrius Johnson if they gave him that Captain America experimental drug shit #UFC194

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) December 13, 2015

Wow. Jacare nearly gets an armbar. Last half of that round was awesome. 10-9 Romero.

— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) December 13, 2015

Wow! #UFC194 sick

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) December 13, 2015

Romero rocks Jacare, working on ground and pound now. Wow. 10-9 Romero

— Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz) December 13, 2015

Damn!

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) December 13, 2015

Crazy 1st round!!

— The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) December 13, 2015

Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha

— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) December 13, 2015

I would expect Romero should have more confidence in his hands this next round #UFC194

— Aaron Riley (@aaronrileymma) December 13, 2015

Jacare coming forward to open round two. #UFC194

— Rob Tatum (@RobTatumMMA) December 13, 2015

Romero shrugs off Jacare's takedown attempt like weaksauce

— MMA mania (@mmamania) December 13, 2015

Jacare looks like you could push him over. I wouldn't like to try though…

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) December 13, 2015

Wow. Blatant cage grab from Romero leads to a takedown. Ref stands them back up.

— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) December 13, 2015

I guess fence-grabbing is legal tonight. #UFC194

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) December 13, 2015

Great call by the ref

— The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) December 13, 2015

Damn. He shoulda took a point. That was bad

— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) December 13, 2015

Rogan calling it correct. Romero is a pure freak athlete

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) December 13, 2015

Jacare gets that tkdwn he easily wins that rnd, should anyways but….fence grab. Got to deduct point there.

— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) December 13, 2015

Damn good reff"ing in this one. I would have taken a point but I'm to emo

— Ian McCall (@Unclecreepymma) December 13, 2015

19-19 all tied up.

— E. Casey Leydon (@ekc) December 13, 2015

I got it tied going into 3rd yoel looks Lil tired #UFC194 @ufc

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) December 13, 2015

Yoel dun be gassed. #UFC194

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) December 13, 2015

19-19 I think. Jacare landed a couple good punches there but didn't really follow up. Romero just didn't do much of anything #UFC194

— Damon Martin (@DamonMartin) December 13, 2015

Romero looking tired at the end of rd 2. Held the cage to avoid a takedown but Goddard stood then back up. Close rd 2 #ufc194

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) December 13, 2015

Nice front kick punch combo from Romero. #UFC194

— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) December 13, 2015

Lot of respect being shown by each guy here in the third. Fight is there to be taken

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) December 13, 2015

Romero gets clipped by a right hand. Jacare smashes him and gets the takedown. He’s in half guard. #UFC194

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) December 13, 2015

#Jacare takes down the Olympic Silver Medalist! Boom! #BJJ #UFC194

— Mike Ciesnolevicz (@MikeCies) December 13, 2015

That might be the fight #UFC194

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) December 13, 2015

This is all gonna come down to the nothing second round. Crazy.

— Tim B (@TB_Money) December 13, 2015

I don't know who's gonna win in the octagon but Chuck Liddell is CRUSHING IT in his seat

— Katie Nolan (@katienolan) December 13, 2015

Jacare purposefully NOT passing out of half-guard. Trying to mount a stud like Romero like is like riding a bronco. Better control here.

— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) December 13, 2015

Jacare on top now! I'm scared. #UFC194

— Yves Edwards (@thugjitsumaster) December 13, 2015

I have no idea how this is going to be scored. 29-28 Jacare for me, but it could be 29-28 or 29-27 Romero too. #UFC194

— E. Spencer Kyte (@spencerkyte) December 13, 2015

Draw

— Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) December 13, 2015

29-28 for Jacare @MMADecisions

— John Pollock (@iamjohnpollock) December 13, 2015

That was a hell of a lot closer than I would of guessed

— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) December 13, 2015

Fight over. So many questions. 10-8 first? Jacare in the 2nd? I'm guessing they go 29-28 Jacare but this will be interesting.

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) December 13, 2015

Great rd 3 for jacare. Chose to keep half guard to try and set up the head and arm but no finish. I think jacare will take it 29-28 #ufc194

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) December 13, 2015

Two monster of the mma. In my opinion Jacare won the fight.

— MMAjunkie (@MMAjunkie) December 13, 2015

WHAT?

— Stephen Langdown (@StephenLangdown) December 13, 2015

Split decision: Romero wins. Can't disagree more.

— Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz) December 13, 2015

Apparently gay Jesus LOVES cheaters. #UFC194

— Tim Kennedy (@TimKennedyMMA) December 13, 2015

I wonder who Jesus chose to win. ??

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) December 13, 2015

I don't think Romero has the cardio to compete with Weidman

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) December 13, 2015

Remero is a cheater in my eyes and I will never cheer for him again.

— Sam Alvey (@smilensam) December 13, 2015

I thought for sure it was #Jacare by decision or a draw. Didnt see it going to #Romero Close fight though #UFC194

— Mike Ciesnolevicz (@MikeCies) December 13, 2015

I had that fight a draw

— Brandon Gibson (@SixGunGibson) December 13, 2015

Come on!?!?

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) December 13, 2015

Wow didn't see that decision going to him. Knew it was gonna be a spilt but not that way! I know the feeling @JacareMMA

— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) December 13, 2015

Split decision for Romero. Rd 2 was for sure the deciding round and it was tough to score #ufc194

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) December 13, 2015

Yoel Romero clearly won that fight definitely not a split decision. I think Yoel can win the Middle weight title for sure!! @ufc

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) December 13, 2015

Really 29-27??? Tough fight to call but 29-27 isn't right

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) December 13, 2015

Thought Jacare 29-28, but not extremely surprised w/ decision for Romero #UFC194
