Yoel Romero continues to defy father time.
After participating in any large mixed martial arts promotion (StrikeForce, UFC, Bellator and the PFL), Romero, 48, continues to dominate the world of combat sports. After scoring a few Highlight-Reel victories under the Dirty Boxing Championship Banner, ‘Soldier of God’ made his bald debut on BKFC 80 and supplied an Epic Ko.
Looking back on the former UFC title Challenger’s impressive show in the square circle, astonished for several time flying weight world champion Demetrious Johnson about Romero’s ability to control every environment in which he steps, whether it is the ring or the cage.
“What a copy,” said Johnson while Looking at Romero’s impressive finish. “What a copy. I am just so mesmerized by the green, the glare. As my wife says, everything that is green is good. Okay, here we go. Look at that moment. Oh my God. Good Lord. Oh oh. [explicit]. Oh my God. So he is doing well to get close. Oh man. He gets super close, Bobs and weaves and shoots something in the middle. Oh my God. There. “
Yoel Romero is ready for a shot on BKFC Gold
Although it was only his first performances for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Romero was already able to stand in line for a chance of the heavyweight title of the promotion.
“It sounds tempting, right?” Romero said about a potential title shot during the BKFC 80 Post-Fight Press Conference. “It sounds tempting when you get the chance to get the biggest prize where you work. It is tempting. If this is what they put on the table, I am ready.”
The current heavyweight king of the BKFC is none other than former UFC -striking ‘big’ Ben Rothwell. After a 17-fighter tint in the Octagon, Rothwell moved to Bare-Knuckle, where he went 4-0, including a KO of 36 seconds Mick Terrill to catch the heavyweight crown.
