Yoel Romero was always viewed as a physical anomaly, and he has managed to maintain his freakish athleticism well into his 40s.

“The Soldier of God” in December announced he had signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator MMA after spending the previous eight years as a prominent middleweight on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster. Romero closed out his time with the UFC on a three-fight losing streak, having been outpointed by Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya in consecutive appearances.
