UFC Fight Night 70 Preview: Yoel Romero vs. Clifford Starks Full Fight Video
UFC Fight Night 70 is set to go down this Saturday (June 24, 2015) live on FOX Sports 1 from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida featuring a pivotal middleweight main event between No. 4-ranked former light heavyweight champion and former middleweight title challenger Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida and No. 6-ranked former Cuban Olympic wrestler Yoel “The Soldier of God” Romero.
A bout between two top contenders, each man has something to prove. Machida is coming off one of the worst loses of his career against soon to be title challenger Luke Rockhold back at April’s UFC on FOX 15. Not only did he lose, but it seemed as if “The Dragon” was beat down and broken both mentally, and physically, a site were not too used to seeing.
At age 37, Machida may not have much time left, and he will look to prove that he can bounce back and still hang with the sport’s elite against the monstrous Romero. Check out “The Dragon” at his best here.
Romero on the other hand, has been surging since he entered the UFC, winning five-straight bouts and looking like a true top-tier middleweight in the process. He received his big chance when he was scheduled to meet No. 2-ranked Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza on multiple occasions this year, but the bout fell through.
However, Romero still has a huge test in front of him in the former champion, and a chance to prove that he belongs with the best at 185-pounds. Check out “The Soldier of God’s” UFC debut courtesy of the UFC below as the event nears closer:
Can Romero continue his track to a title shot, or will Machida prove he still has something left in the tank?
