Right after the bell rang to close the second round of their light heavyweight bout, Yoel Romero tapped Alex Polizzi softly on the back of the head, as if to send the message that he’s doing fine – but also let him down gently.
Nothing from that point on was gentle, though.
Romero continued to stalk Polizzi and outclass him for almost 15 minutes before blasting him a few more times, en route to a TKO win at the 4:59 mark of the third round of the Bellator 280 co-main event.
