10 Deadliest Punchers In MMA Today
7. Yoel 'Soldier Of God' Romero
Yoel Romero is a physical specimen. The 42 year old six time Olympic and world amatuer wrestling medalist is the most explosive athlete in the sport today. Capable of finishing anyone he lands a strike on, Romero regularly launches himself through the air with fight ending, concussion inducing results for his opponents.
Holding KO wins over former champions such as Lyoto Machida, Luke Rockhold, and Chris Weidman, (the latter of which was via flying knee, Romero's second KO of that kind) his power is on par with someone much larger than himself. His opponents have consistently compared him to a hulking piece of iron, that hits back with skull shattering blows.
With his incredible genetics and ridiculous work ethic, this Cuban superstar could remain a nightmare for middleweights for many years into the future.
