Twitter reacts to Yoel Romero's knockout of Lyoto Machida at UFC Fight Night 70

The main event has the aging, past his prime, 37 yr old Machida vs the up & coming, future contender, 38 yr old Romero. Got it, no wait…

Yoel Romero vs Lyoto Machida is a historic fight. This will be the final time you will see sponsors on fighters shorts that are not Reebok

Romero makes the walk to "Soldado" by Juan Luis Guerra.

And here comes the former light heavyweight champ. He's out to "Bleed it Out" by Linkin Park with a custom war chant leading in.

I personally love the smaller @ufc octagon

Romero fighting like a guy concerned about cardio & 5 rnds

— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) June 28, 2015

Never seen an Olympic medalist hate to wrestle so much in MMA

THIS FIGHT IS MAKING ME SO NERVOUS

— Bleacher Report MMA (@BR_MMA) June 28, 2015

How many right kicks was that from Yoel? Right kick, right kick…………………..right kick

Machida -190 end of round 1, live wagering.

Looks like machida is drawing him into deeper waters, but I may be wrong

— Ryan Jimmo (@RyanJimmo) June 28, 2015

Olympic Silver medalist, not one tkdwn attempt yet, such a massive skillset to not utilize and help open up other phases

— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) June 28, 2015

Romero's athleticism is astonishing.

— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) June 28, 2015

This fight has me on the edge of my seat! Feels like something incredible could happen at any second.

— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) June 28, 2015

1-1 going into the 3rd. Wish Romero would at least threaten with the takedown. His athleticism is scary though #UFCHollywood

— Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) June 28, 2015

Romero -175 after round 2, live wagering.

— Fight_Ghost (@Fight_Ghost) June 28, 2015

Machida slowing I think….

— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) June 28, 2015

Romero is so effective and awkward. He's gonna give a lot of guys trouble.

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) June 28, 2015

Romero wins via 3rd round TKO. Brutal GNP via elbows.

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) June 28, 2015

Wow!! ?? elbow city

— Cody Garbrandt (@Cody_Nolove) June 28, 2015

That was absolutely horrifying.

— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) June 28, 2015

Why does he just go for a takedo… ohhhhhhhhhhh. OK.

— Dann Stupp (@DannStupp) June 28, 2015

Just what that dude does. Coasted and conserved energy. Exploded, over.

— Brian Stann (@BrianStann) June 28, 2015

Romero a beast.

— Scott jorgensen (@Scottjorgensen) June 28, 2015

Wow!!!! Those elbows were nasty!!!

— chad mendes (@chadmendes) June 28, 2015

Wow, what an ending!

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) June 28, 2015

Romero was screaming so loud after the fight that he might have shitted himself… Again…

— Vinny Magalhaes (@VinnyMMA) June 28, 2015

Yoel Romero brings some natural disaster level of sudden destruction. Wish MMA had him earlier, but his arc has been thrilling to observe.

— Mike Chiappetta MMA (@MikeChiappetta) June 28, 2015

Pretty sure Yoel Romero just shit talked the legalization of same sex marriage.

— Marc Raimondi (@marc_raimondi) June 28, 2015

…………………. (Lost for words)

— michael (@bisping) June 28, 2015

Pretty sure Yoel just told us we need some Jesus, and then America will be fixed. Or, ya know, maybe fewer guns. And fewer a-holes.

— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) June 28, 2015

Wait……no Romero… Just no. He's gonna get a PR visit now ????

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) June 28, 2015

Wow. This evening took a turn.

— E. Casey Leydon (@ekc) June 28, 2015

Did Romero say Go for Jesus not Gay Jesus? I didn't know there was a Gay Jesus. Either way I think he should give Gay Jesus a chance.

— Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) June 28, 2015

Did … did Yoel Romero just go on an anti-gay marriage rant in the name of Jesus? Dude, we are trying to like you here. Come on.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June 28, 2015

If you think it was un-Christian for @YoelRomeroMMA to hate on gays then you need to read the bible. God/Jesus is not vague on his opinion

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) June 28, 2015

Yoel Romero earns his 5th UFC KO, tied for 4th most in MW history. His 6-fight win streak is the 2nd longest active UFC win streak at MW.

— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) June 28, 2015

Romero also earns his fourth KO/TKO in the third round, the 2nd most such finishes in UFC history (Couture, 5). WEIRD.
