“Yoel Is Barking” Yoel Romero’s weird celebration of brutal TKO victory at Bellator 285 has fans scratching their heads

Romero celebrates his victory in Dublin

Yoel Romero has been a main-stay of MMA culture since his UFC debut in 2013. His unreal physique, his wrestling credentials and his ability to create knockout-worthy power in a split second have all made him immensely popular with the fans. This has continued into his run for Bellator.

At Bellator 285 in Dublin, Romero was squared up against fellow veteran of the sport, Melvin Manhoef. This was the first time Romero was younger than his opponent in his entire MMA career. Regardless to say, he won the fight in brutal fashion, leading Manhoef to retirement.

Romero’s second win for Bellator, his fight was a spectacle enough, but Romero upped the ante with his celebration. Looking dead set into the camera, Romero started violently barking, channelling, either his inner dog or DMX. The bizarre celebration was all anyone was talking about by the end of the event.
