Yoel Romero and Anthony Johnson both appear to be more than ready for a highly anticipated and high-stakes clash at Bellator 258 . Romero (13-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Johnson (22-6 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) are closing in on their quarterfinal pairing in the Bellator light heavyweight grand prix, which takes place May 7 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. When Bellator was putting together the tournament, it was expected the two new signees would be making their debut as part of the field. There was an urge to see them paired up immediately, and Bellator obliged. Needless to say, both men are pumped, and Romero thinks it’s a defining bout for his career. “It’s a very special time,” Romero said during Wednesday’s Bellator 258 virtual press conference.
