  • Origin of nickname: “When my older brother was young, everyone in the barrio used to call him "El Fantasma," so when I started fighting in the U.S., I took my nickname because "El Charro Negro" is a Mexican legend about a dark horseman riding in the night and it's a way to make a tribute and represent my family and Mexico.”

UFC 309 (11/16/24) Romero lost a three round unanimous decision to David Onama

Biggest difference in training for this fight? I took this fight on short notice, but I'm always ready.

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? I was 2-time full contact national champ in Mexico; also, a 2-time national champ in Mexico in the IMMAF tournaments. I’ve been selected to represent Mexico in the worlds, but I didn't have enough money to go. 

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt

Any belts/ ranks in striking disciplines? Limalama Black Belt 1st Degree 

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? The next fight is always the toughest!

Who is your favorite fighter and why? Jose Aldo, because of his aggressive and technical striking.

Personal Life / Background: My family and I have an MMA gym in Chihuahua and it's been a great experience helping other people evolve and learn new things. I have two brothers, my mom and dad and also my wife, who has been living far from me since I train here in California.
