10 MMA Fighters You Want To See Knocked Out In 2020

7. Yoel Romero

In terms of fighters you won't see many stars openly call out in 2020, the resident 'Boogeyman' of the Middleweight division, Yoel Romero, definitely ranks as one of the scariest in all of the UFC.

The Cuban is a legitimately terrifying man and one of the most dangerous knockout artists to have ever thrown down inside of the Octagon.

Don't believe me?

Why not ask Clifford Starks, Ronny Markes, Derek Brunson, Tim Kennedy, Lyoto Machida, Chris Weidman and most recently, Luke Rockhold about his potential to leave you laying on the ground, wondering why you ever agreed to fight the Olympic silver medalist in the first place.

A freestyle wrestling legend in his own right, Romero has enough tools in his arsenal to dismantle any top star on their day - regardless of his current two fight losing streak.

So, you can bet that a number of fighters in that Middleweight division will be hoping for Romero to receive a taste of his own medicine at some point this year - if only to prove that he can actually be stopped inside of the UFC. As of writing, Romero has only ever lost in the company via decision... which is a frightening reality.

He looks set to take on another fierce striker in Israel Adesanya for the UFC Middleweight gold at UFC 248, so the rest of the division may get their wish sooner rather than later.
