At 43 years old and coming off three consecutive defeats, Yoel romero definitely not thinking about retiring from MMA.

The information was released by 'MMA Junkie'.

While Romero has already played in 2020, Hall is still waiting for his next commitment with the organization. Without fighting since September last year, when he defeated ‘Antonio Shoe Guy’, the North American should face Ronaldo Jacare No. UFC 249, in May. However, after the Brazilian was diagnosed with Covid-19, the confrontation ended up falling apart.

Now, it seems that Uriah will not maintain his plans to exchange forces against the Espírito Santo and could exchange forces against the current number five in the ranking in search of a better position in the division dominated by Adesanya.

If the confrontation is confirmed, this will be the 19th fight in Yoel's career. The Cuban currently has 13 wins and five losses as a professional in MMA. Despite his recent record not being favorable, Romero is still considered one of the most feared names in the division.

Eight years younger than his potential opponent, Hall will reach the mark of 25 fights on his record. The athlete has 15 triumphs and nine setbacks.
