LAS VEGAS – At 42, Yoel Romero is the current poster child for aging fighters who continue to fight at the top.
Randy Couture, Dan Henderson and Mark Hunt had octagon success well past four decades of life. But none of them bet they could fight past 50.
Romero plans to do just that, and on Saturday, he’ll try to do something only Couture was able to do past 40 by winning a UFC belt.
”I want to prove there are no limits, that age is pretty much a number,” he told reporters at an open workout for his title fight against Israel Adesanya at UFC 248, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
