Yoel Romero's top 5 most vicious UFC knockout wins
Yoel Romero’s run in the UFC was quite the ride. It was chaotic, strange, and unpredictable, but in the best way possible.
Few had any idea what to expect from the Cuban fighter who had little MMA experience and was already in his late 30’s when he arrived, but he brought an unreal, Greek god-like physique and a decorated past in the highest level of wrestling.
To some, Romero surpassed expectations, as the best part of his athletic career was supposed to be in the rearview mirror when he left Cuba to start a fighting career. Romero fell short to others, as many times he came inches from winning a UFC title, but he just couldn’t get the job done.
Either way, his UFC career gave fans lovely soundbites, ridiculous Fight of the Nights, and much more. But above all, Romero created some of the most insane and devastating knockouts ever seen – which will forever highlight his UFC career.
Ahead of his Bellator 297 title fight this Friday against Vadim Nemkov, MMA Junkie compiled the top five UFC knockouts from “The Soldier of God.”
