Yoel Romero Bellator 285 Post-Fight Interview: “I had a good preparation for this fight. I already had a full camp because this fight was supposed to take place in Paris. I respect all my opponents and he was no exception. I did everything I had to do for someone like Melvin, of his caliber.” “I knew exactly what his flaws were and what his strengths were, so during the fight I took the opportunity to study my opponent… but I knew exactly how he was going to end the fight.” “During the fight, my trainers told me it was a good time to finish the fight, and that’s when I took the fight to the ground and finished it.” “Right now, all the light heavyweights can relax and not worry about me. I think we’re going to make the switch to 185 pounds right now.” “What we have cooked up is that we are going to chase that title at 185, and if the opportunity to fight for the title arises, I would love it to be here in Europe. The fans in Europe are absolutely amazing. The heat and energy that emanates from the fans is amazing.” “I fight whoever is in front of me, the real question is if he (Jake Paul) wants to fight me, the beast. He was already offered the fight and he was back and forth, but he obviously said ‘no’”.
