Conor McGregor recently lauded former UFC middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero. McGregor shared a clip of Romero's iconic battle with Paulo Costa ahead of the Brazilian's UFC 278 clash against Luke Rockhold.The clip shows a crazy sequence where the 'Soldier of God' gets dropped by Costa, immediately recovers and points away before returning the favor. Giving props to Romero's "craftiness", McGregor claimed he would model the second half of his career on the Cuban knockout artist.Conor McGregor@TheNotoriousMMAThe craftiness of Yoel has always been incredible to watch!
