- Origin of nickname: “When my older brother was young, everyone in the barrio used to call him "El Fantasma," so when I started fighting in the U.S., I took my nickname because "El Charro Negro" is a Mexican legend about a dark horseman riding in the night and it's a way to make a tribute and represent my family and Mexico.”
UFC 309 (11/16/24) Romero lost a three round unanimous decision to David Onama
