    Yoel Romerois a Cuban professional mixed martial artist and former freestyle wrestler. He currently competes in the Light Heavyweight division for Bellator MMA. Romero formerly competed in the Middleweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and was a challenger for the UFC Middleweight Championship.

    Romero mixed martial arts record shows 15 wins and 7 losses. Romero is scheduled to face Thiago Santos on February 24, 2024 at PFL versus Bellator.

    Yoel Romero is called a true MMA legend and the soldier of God. He competes at the highest level against the very best fighters to this day. Even though Yoel Romero is one of the best fighters to never hold a UFC title, you can help but notice him because he is one of the best fighters. It’s hard not to look his way. It's hard not to recognize him. He’s got fans that call him the champ. They say he's a true warrior and a great freestyle wrestler.

    Remero was the '99 World Champion (five-time medalist at the World Championships), the '00 Olympic Silver medalist, a three-time World Cup winner (six-time medalist). . I could go on and on. As of Feb 7, 2023, he is #3 in the bellator Light Heavyweight Rankings. Romero is incredible and has not retired. He’s still working as a warrior in the MMA.

    Hi! I am Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Times Ripley. PBS is the best in documentaries. PBS is a free-to-air television network and is different than CBS, ABC, and NBC. I've always called it the learning broadcast television station. It’s the station where we watched Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street as children.

    As an adult, I began to watch PBS documentaries. I learned about the newspaper LA times and how it started. The name of that documentary is Inventing LA: The Chandlers and Their Times. The city’s most powerful family.

    Another great PBS documentary that I like is Eyes On The Prize. It tells the story of the Civil Rights Movement.

    The Wizard Behind The Curtain is a wonderful documentary about the fascinating life of L Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz.

    And there is the Walt Disney documentary. It’s about his complex life and enduring legacy from his early days creating Mickey Mouse.

    And there's more documentaries from PBS. Just look for the TV show “American Experience”. Just go to pbs.org or YouTube to follow and subscribe to the show.

    Hi! I'm Gail Nobles, & you’re listening to Times Rippley.

    I'm thinking of Aaliyah and Jet Li today. When they made the movie “Romeo Must Die” together, it was considered Li’s American film breakthrough and Aaliyah’s acting breakthrough.

    I was looking for more, but Aaliyah left us in 2001. However, the memory of the movie and music video, “Try Again” that they did to together still lingers on in my mind. Musically, I can only imagine them together if Aaliyah had lived to do more movies with Jet Li.

    (Music) Voice 1: Drop Kick! Choir: Drop That Base...

    The music you've just heard is called “Echoes of Romeo” by Gail Nobles ©️ 2023. Inspired by the movie Romeo Must Die and soundtrack.

    When I think about Aaliyah, it makes me wish I could have worked with her during the time she was working with Jet Li and working on her music.

    There are many of us that have plans & dreams & people we didn't get to meet. If we don't get to do things in the present; if we don't get to see eachother, maybe in God’s plan & kingdom in the future. Until next time, goodbye friends. Thank you for listening.
