Yoel Romero is one of the great amateur wrestlers of this, or any, generation. He beat the legendary Cael Sanderson three times and is, arguably, the top wrestler ever to transition to mixed martial arts.
He suffered his first MMA loss in 2011, in just his fifth fight, when he got too ambitious and was beaten by the vastly more experienced Rafael "Fejaio" Cavalcante.
Cavalcante is a quality striker and his hands were simply too much for Romero, as he stopped him in the second round.
Romero's brother, Yoan Pablo Hernandez, is a world cruiserweight boxing champion with a 29-1 record.
