Yoel Romero, a seasoned athlete with an impressive record of 13-5-0, has competed primarily in the UFC's middleweight division (185 lbs.). Standing at 6'0" tall with a reach of 73", he adopts a southpaw stance. In terms of performance, Romero demonstrates an average of 3.44 significant strikes per minute and maintains a striking accuracy of 49%. His resilience is evident in his ability to absorb only 3.05 strikes per minute, while boasting a strike defense of 60%. He averages 1.57 takedowns every 15 minutes with a takedown accuracy of 30%, but has yet to attempt any submissions during this period. Throughout his UFC career, Romero has achieved notable victories, most notably against Chris Weidman, whose ELO rating was 1170 at the time of their encounter. However, his recent fight history reveals a series of losses, starting from July 2017 against Robert Whittaker in a unanimous decision (U-DEC). He followed this with a knockout victory over Luke Rockhold in February 2018, but subsequently lost to Whittaker again in June 2018 and Paulo Costa in August 2019, both times via unanimous decision. His most recent fight was against Israel Adesanya on March 7th, 2020, which also ended in a unanimous decision loss for Romero.
