Third Round "YOLO" Romero

Third Round "YOLO" Romero is a Cuban Mixed Martial Artist and former World Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist in Freestyle Wrestling. Romero describes himself as "a man of God" whose hero is Jesus Christ.

Romero started his MMA career at age 23, joining and winning a QFC Tournament in London in impressive fashion. He knocked out each of his tournament opponents in less than 2 minutes in the first round. He is a very determined fighter with devastating KO power and a relatively untested chin. He looks so damn good; he makes his opponents look like scrubs.

Romero has not only maintained his impressive form, but he has actually gotten faster. At age 24, he now boasts a professional record of 7 wins, 7 First Round KO's, and his last 2 fights lasted a combined total of only 44 seconds!

Romero became the KOTB 205lb champion on 10-10-2015, by knocking out the Brazilian Ronaldo Lima via superman punch in just 35 seconds.

Romero will defend his belt against his toughest opponent to date, Yuri Boyka, at KOTB 16 on 11-7-2015. Romero seems unfazed and excited for a real challenge. He is confident that no man at 205lbs can take his punches and remain standing!
