It seems like everyone in combat sports is turning back the clock, with legends making their returns one after another. Last week, fans saw Mike Tyson step back into the ring against Jake Paul, and this time, Yoel Romero showed that age is just a number! At 47, the former UFC star made an unforgettable return, stepping in on short notice for a fight at Mike Perry’s Dirty Boxing Championship. He delivered a knockout that had fans going wild.
Romero stunned the crowd last night, landing a brutal straight left that folded Duane Crespo like a lawn chair. The fight was announced just hours before the event, but Romero didn’t show any signs of rust. With 5oz gloves and elbows allowed, he proved once again why he’s a combat sports legend, delivering a performance that left fans in awe. Seeing the way he knocked out his opponent, here’s how they reacted:
One fan reacted to 47-year-old Romero’s knockout, pointing out how he’s still making Father Time seem irrelevant.

After watching Romero deliver a jaw-dropping performance, Jones stood up, hands on his head, jaw dropped to the floor. The knockout stunned everyone, including one of the sport’s biggest stars, who couldn’t hide his shock at Romero’s incredible display of skill and power.
