Yoel Romero will look to notch his first Bellator win when he meets a fellow veteran in May.
Romero, a former UFC middleweight title challenger, is set to fight Melvin Manhoef in the co-main event of Bellator Paris on May 6 at Accor Arena, the promotion announced Thursday.
In his return to light heavyweight, Romero (13-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) fell short in his promotional debut when he was edged out by Phil Davis last September at Bellator 266. Romero, 44, now has lost four in a row, with his last win a knockout of Luke Rockhold in February 2018.
