Roberto Romero might’ve taken a loss Saturday at UFC 309, but many were still impressed with what they saw from the newcomer.
Romero debuted for the UFC against veteran David Onama on the preliminary card of UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden. It was a fight he took the Tuesday before the event with basically no preparation, as he replaced Lucas Almeida.
Little chance was given to Romero (8-4-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) as Onama entered as a -1000 betting favorite. Yet, despite the odds, the Mexican fighter put it on Onama and nearly finished him in the first round.
