It would be an understatement to say the first round of Ricardo Romero’s UFC debut did not go as planned.
Romero found himself in big trouble early against veteran Seth Petruzelli during their UFC 116 bout.
Romero essentially was forced into recovery and survival mode, and though he ultimately prevailed, he suffered an array of injuries in the fight. Romero hopes his latest bout at Saturday’s UFC 126 event results in a quicker start.
