Yoel Romero remains ageless as he continues to pick up wins in the combat sports world.
“Soldier of God” faced fellow UFC veteran Alex Nicholson in the main event of Friday night’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA event in Miami. Romero, at 49 years of age, made it look easy with a destruction of Nicholson to pick up the big win. After a big takedown, Romero landed a nasty left hand on the ground that shattered Nicholson’s jaw, and the latter was forced to tap via strikes.

With the win, Romero, who was initially slated to face rival Hector Lombard, got back in the combat sports win column after losing back-to-back matches in RAF and IBA Bareknuckle. The UFC and Bellator veteran picked up three straight wins after parting ways with PFL after they absorbed Bellator — competing in BKFC and Dirty Boxing.
In the co-main event, former BKFC champ Luis Palomino returned to mixed martial arts competition and picked up a somewhat controversial, come-from-behind third-round stoppage against past UFC veteran Darrell Horcher.
