Yoel Romero Leaves UFC All-Time Great Stunned with BKFC Debut – “What a Specimen”

Yoel Romero continues to defy Father Time.

After competing for every major mixed martial arts promotion (Strikeforce, UFC, Bellator, and the PFL), Romero, 48, continues to dominate the world of combat sports. After scoring a pair of highlight-reel victories under the Dirty Boxing Championship banner, ‘Soldier of God’ made his bare-knuckle debut at BKFC 80 and delivered yet another epic KO.

Looking back on the former UFC title challenger’s impressive showing inside the squared circle, multi-time flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson marveled at Romero’s ability to control every environment he steps into, whether it be the ring or the cage.
