Here's that video of Yoel Romero dancing to 'Despacito' that you didn’t know you needed


After strawweight Paige VanZant, are we looking at the next UFC fighter-turned-“Dancing With the Stars” contestant?

Well … probably not.

But still, it’s nice to see UFC middleweight Yoel Romero is not about to let a silly little interim title fight cramp his style. Somehow, an interview with Brazil’s Combate ahead of Saturday’s UFC 213 turned into an opportunity for the Olympic wrestling silver medalist to showcase some of his perhaps lesser-known moves.

Romero (13-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) has reasons to be chipper. He rides an eight-fight winning streak into what will be his first shot at a UFC title. Whether that good mood will hold up on Saturday, however, remains to be seen – considering that 185-pound rising star Robert Whittaker (18-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has plans of his own for the interim belt.

Romero, who’s currently the No. 2 fighter in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings, meets No. 4 ranked Whittaker in a pay-per-view co-headlining scrap at Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena. According to UFC president Dana White, the winner of that one should be next in line for undisputed titleholder Michael Bisping.

For now, however, just add Romero to the ever-growing list of victims of the seemingly inescapable “Despacito” effect.
