Earns contract despite decision
Romious defeated Michael Imperato via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to earn an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
This contract decision was a bit puzzling, as Romious didn't not get the finish and is a bit past prospect status at the age of 30, especially in a loaded bantamweight division. He lost in last season of the Contender Series and has experience under the LFA banner, but most recently competed on the Iowa regional scene. He does have a backstory that apparently intrigued Dana White enough to offer the contract despite the fact that he was credited with only 40 significant strikes in this bout. Expectations are low, but this is a fighter who seems to literally have nothing to lose.
