Yoel Romero has yet to make his first appearance in the Bellator cage, since signing with the promotion following a long tenure with the UFC.
That appears to be changing sooner rather than later, as MMA Junkie’s Nolan King reported during a recent conversation with Bellator president Scott Coker. He has received medical clearance to fight on MMA’s second-biggest stage.
Romero lost his last three fights during the end of his time in the UFC, including his most recent loss to UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at UFC 248. Before that, he was a mainstay at the top of the UFC middleweight division and challenged twice for the title against former champion Robert Whittaker.
Coker also confirmed that Romero would return later this year and would return as a light heavyweight.
“I think he is cleared now, so I think we’ll be looking to book him and have him fight before the end of the year,” Coker said. “I think he’s good to go on all cylinders moving forward. Give us another week or two and we’ll figure it out and put him on a card somewhere.”
“I think he said he’s willing to cut, but right now, he’s at 205.”
Romero was supposed to fight fellow UFC alum Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in the light heavyweight world grand prix. He pulled out of the fight with just weeks to go in camp and withdrew from the grand prix.
Romero will also make a move to light heavyweight after a series of brutal weight cuts in the UFC trying to cut down to the middleweight limit of 185 pounds. Romero infamously missed weight in his second fight with Whittaker and was ruled out from earning the belt had he defeated the former champion.
Romero adds a ton of star power to the Bellator light heavyweight division that includes the champion Vadim Nemkov, Johnson, Corey Anderson, and other countless prospects.

Yoel Romero is itching to return to action.
Romero recently signed with Bellator and was set to take on Anthony Johnson in a dream fight in the quarterfinal of the promotion’s light heavyweight grand prix last month.
That was, until he failed to pass a pre-fight medical screening forcing him to pull out the fight. It was later revealed to be an issue with his eye.
However, fans can expect to see him in the next few months as “The Soldier of God” plans on competing and winning titles in both the middleweight and light heavyweight division.
“The fans can see me very soon,” Romero said in a recent interview (via Middle Easy). “Maybe August. Maybe August, maybe 205 or maybe 185. I want to fight in both classes, I wanted the belt in both classes, but I’m coming soon. … I wanna kill somebody.”
Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Romero will face Johnson with the latter beating José Augusto via knockout to advance to the semifinals. In case of injury to any opponent before the semifinals, there is a chance that Romero could step in and make his debut.
But even if that’s not the case, the former UFC title challenger expects to face Johnson at some point in the future.
“Yes, I can see this fight happening,” he added. “I can see the face of this amazing athlete. This will happen, I think so.”
