Fired by the UFC last week, Yoel romero was recognized for his years of service to martial arts. Thinking about having the Cuban in his group of athletes, the president of Bare Knuckle FC, David Feldman, admitted that he intends to negotiate with the veteran to work in bare-knuckle boxing. In an interview with 'BJPenn.com', the 'big boss' spoke about the interest.

“We are very interested. How could we not be? He would be a great acquisition. Let’s see if we can make it happen”, admitted Feldman.
One of the most feared names in the UFC middleweight (up to 83,9kg) in recent years, Romero stood out for his physical vigor and ability to intimidate his opponents. The 43-year-old fighter's negative record, however, weighed on Dana White and his team's decision to release the fighter.
Recently, Bellator and PFL stated that they do not intend to try to sign the fighter. Romero, then, remains free on the market to sign with another MMA company or even with Bare Knuckle.
A professional in mixed martial arts since 2009, Romero has 18 fights on his record. The fighter has 13 victories and five defeats. His last performance took place in March, when he faced and was beaten by Israel adesanya in a fight for the Ultimate middleweight belt.
