I love MMA, because it’s a bit like football / soccer – all body types can find a style that suits.
Tall and skinny is often the way to go for most fighters as you look through the top 5 fighters in each of the divisions from featherweight to light heavyweight. You do get the odd exception however, such as Yoel Romero.
He is very secretive about his training regime. However, looking at his physique and athleticism, it no doubt consists of a number of open-chain functional exercises, some gymnastic movements and explosive exercises such as plyometrics and Olympic Lifts.
Possible Yoel Romero Workout*
Warm up – 10 minutes cardio
Dynamic Stretching
Shoulder rolls
Shoulder Circles
Leg Swings
Handstand Press Ups

*This is my best guess as to his strength & conditioning as he doesn’t expose much about his training.
