Yoel Romero is called a true MMA legend and the soldier of God. He competes at the highest level against the very best fighters to this day. Even though Yoel Romero is one of the best fighters to never hold a UFC title, you can help but notice him because he is one of the best fighters. It’s hard not to look his way. It's hard not to recognize him. He’s got fans that call him the champ. They say he's a true warrior and a great freestyle wrestler.

Remero was the '99 World Champion (five-time medalist at the World Championships), the '00 Olympic Silver medalist, a three-time World Cup winner (six-time medalist). . I could go on and on.
