BREAKING: Yoel Romero Ends Contract With The UFC Despite 3 Fights Remaining

Yoel Romero is one of the scariest fighters to have stepped foot into the UFC octagon. The Cuban is a physical specimen and is built like a truck. He has devastating knockout power in both hands and possesses freakish athleticism for someone who is 43. Fighting ‘The Soldier Of God’ is not for the faint-hearted and getting a win over him is an accomplishment in itself.
Over the course of his career with the UFC, the Olympic silver medallist has stunned fans with brilliant performances. Most notably, in his wars against Robert Whittaker for the belt where he, unfortunately, came up short.
The fighter walks away from the promotion as one of the greatest in UFC history never to win a title.
