Yoel Romero continues to secure wins in the combat sports world.
“Soldier of God” faced Alex Nicholson in the main event of Friday night’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event in Miami. Romero, aged 49, defeated Nicholson to pick up the win. After a takedown, Romero landed a left hand that shattered Nicholson’s jaw, and Nicholson tapped via strikes.
Romero Back in Win Column
With the win, Romero got back in the combat sports win column after losing back-to-back matches in RAF and IBA Bareknuckle. Romero was initially slated to face Hector Lombard.
The UFC and Bellator veteran picked up three straight wins after parting ways with PFL after they absorbed Bellator. He competed in BKFC and Dirty Boxing.
