UFC Fighter Yoel Romero Wins $27 Million in Tainted Supplement Lawsuit

UFC fighter Yoel Romero was awarded $27.45 million by a New Jersey civil court on Wednesday after winning a lawsuit against Gold Star Performance Products, Romero's agent, Abraham Kawa, announced.

Romero (13–3 MMA, 9–2 UFC) sued the company in January 2018 after he received a six-month suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency following a failed drug test in 2016. The court determined the company made a tainted supplement that resulted in Romero's suspension.

"God is always good," Romero wrote on Twitter after the news broke.

Kawa disclosed the amount awarded to Romero in his own post.
