“Increasing my luck daily, definitely my opponents will not be happy. Soon very good news and my next fight, Romero don’t know what f*ck sh*t he says. I’m not [using] steroids, [I’ve] never doped like him.”

Romero had a run-in with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) back in 2016. It was determined that Romero had tainted supplements in his system and received a reduced suspension. “The Soldier of God” will meet Jacare Souza in a rematch to headline UFC on ESPN 3.
