Romel luistro
What belts or rankings do you currently posses as a martial artist:
Blue belt
What sports or activities did you participate in growing up:
I really had a passion for football and thought I could make it in the football world.
When did you begin to take MMA seriously as a hobby and then as a potential profession:
After fighting Wyatt Fraser I thought to myself even though I lost and was scared at the time I was able to hang in with a formidable opponent. Since that fight I started taking it serious it wanting a profession out of this sport. My record may say otherwise however I’ve only gotten better as the years have come and at the start of last year I finally had the courage to leave my original gym and make ends meet at LCA. Honestly the best thing I could’ve done was move there.
Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
I think every week at training is amazing. Everyday is a grind at LCA. Drilling, sparring, juijitsu and wrestling, it’s all at 100% and no one isnt not breathing heaving or drenched in sweat. Everyone single person in that gym is shooting for the stars including myself so I well and truely belong their.
What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:
I feel like as I’ve trained over the course of the months at LCA I’ve become very al-rounded I think I’m strong everywhere without a doubt, physically and mentally!
How would you describe your fighting style:
A Mixed Martial Artist.
What is your favourite sport and why:
MMA of course. I don’t watch much of it however the reason why I love it so much is because I relate to every single fighter that may be going through setbacks in life whether they’re getting ready for a fight or not. We can all relate no matter what we’re going through we have to show up to training 6 days out of the 7. Cut weight and perform infront of hundreds, thousands of people. If you think about it, it’s quite funny actually. Imagine you train 6 days a week, 2 times a day for 2 months just to fight 9, 15 minutes! Quite a cool, yet funny fact.
Who is your favourite athlete:
David goggins of course! “WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS AND THE LOGS”
Who is your favourite combat sports athlete:
I do have a list however I’d have to say Petr yan I love is style, his furnace.
What are your immediate and long term goals:
Right now to be a strong opponent in harvey youngmen. Long term currently is to look at an amateur title after a couple wins.
When fans see your name on a fight poster, what should they expect:
“EL MATADOR IS BACK BABYYYYYY”
How do you see your upcoming fight playing out:
I’ll keep this to myself.
A final message to any friends, family and supporters:
I appreciate all their love and support. It means everything to me and it’s a blessing.
