Yoel Romero is fighting this weekend.

In a bit of news that literally came out of nowhere, the multi-time UFC title challenger will return to action on Saturday night in Miami under the Dirty Boxing Championship banner — a striking promotion co-owned by BKFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

Romero, 47, is set to take on former Power Slap athlete Duane Crespo in a heavyweight bout per a report from MMA Junkie.

Dirty Boxing Championship bouts are composed of three-minute rounds — five rounds for main events and championship matchups. Fighters will compete in five-ounce gloves inside a custom DBX ring where both ground and pound and elbows are permitted.
