SKOR.id - Yoel Romero akan menantang juara UFC kelas middleweight (77-84 kg), Israel Adesanya, dalam UFC 248.

Menuju laga UFC 248, Yoel Romero pun hadir dalam latihan terbuka UFC 248 yang digelar di Las Vegas, Amerika Serikat, Rabu (4/3/2020) atau Kamis (5/3/2020) WIB.

Bahkan, Yoel Romero yang kini berusia 42 tahun itu tampak sangat bersemangat menuju pertarungannya yang merupakan laga perebutan gelar dan main card UFC 248.

"Saya ingin membuktikan bahwa tak ada batas dan umur hanyalah angka," ujar Yoel Romero, seperti dikutip dari Bloody Elbow.

Ya, Yoel Romero adalah satu dari beberapa petarung UFC aktif yang telah berusia di atas 40 tahun.

Meski belum pernah menjadi juara UFC, petarung asal Kuba itu dianggap sebagai salah satu petarung agresif, bertenaga, dan punya daya ledak yang mematikan di dalam oktagon.

"Saya pikir manusia bisa melakukan apa saja asalkan percaya dengan kemampuan dirinya," kata Romero.

"Jika menerapkan gaya hidup disiplin, tak emosional, dan hidup dalam kesadaran penuh, maka semuanya mungkin dicapai," ucap Romero.

Pertanyaan tentang usia ini muncul karena petarung kelahiran Pinar del Rio, Kuba, 30 April 1977, itu dianggap bakal kewalahan menghadapi Israel Adesanya.

Israel Adesanya adalah juara kelas middleweight. Belum pernah terkalahkan dalam 18 kali pertarungan dan dia masih berusia 30 tahun.

Dalam ranking pound-for-pound UFC, Israel Adesanya duduk di peringkat enam.

Dengan tinggi 194 cm, Israel Adesanya yang merupakan petarung Selandia Baru-Nigeria ini memiliki jangkauan pukulan dan tendangan yang lebih panjang.

Romero yang lebih pendek, yakni 178 cm, memiliki jangkauan pukulan dan tendangan yang lebih pendek.

Selain itu, Romero yang dijuluki Soldier of God ini memiliki catatan 13 kemenangan dan 4 kekalahan.

Tak sampai di situ, Romero punya pekerjaan rumah untuk menurunkan berat badan sebelum timbang badan resmi pada Jumat (6/3/2020) atau Sabtu (7/3/2020) dini hari WIB.

Meski memiliki kendala dan Adesanya lebih diunggulkan, Romero tak ambil pusing.

Bahkan, Romero yang merupakan peraih perak Olimpiade 2000 pada nomor gulat gaya bebas kelas 85 kg putra ini masih ingin bertarung hingga berusia 50 tahun.

"Olahraga adalah hidup. Saya mencintai kehidupan. Jadi, saya perlu berolahraga," kata Romero.

UFC 248 akan digelar di T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, AS, Sabtu (7/3/2020) atau Minggu (8/3/2020) pagi WIB.

Selain laga perebutan gelar pada kelas middleweight, akan digelar juga perebutan gelar di kelas strawweight (48-52 kg) putri yang menjadi co-main card.

Juara UFC kelas strawweight Zhang Weili akan ditantang Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
