Roberto Romero

Overview Roberto Romero went the distance in his UFC debut, then didn't make it out of the second round in his next fight. "El Charro Negro" is a Featherweight from Chihuahua, Mexico, fighting out of Team Oyama. His UFC record is 0-2, and he carries a two-fight losing streak into his next bout. The 8-5-1 professional record covers every promotion, not just the UFC.

UFC Career Romero debuted at UFC 309 and lost a unanimous decision to David Onama, going the full three rounds. About five months later he met Timmy Cuamba and was stopped by KO/TKO in Round 2 at 3:55.

Two fights is a small sample. It hasn't produced a win yet.

Fighting Style Romero lands more strikes per minute than the average UFC fighter, but he also absorbs more and defends worse. Accuracy sits around the UFC average, so volume is what he brings, and defense is what costs him.

On the ground he rarely shoots for takedowns and almost never hunts submissions, yet he is much harder to take down than most. He's a striker who stays upright, and both UFC losses fit the cost of trading: one ended by KO/TKO, the other on the scorecards.
