“I can’t do what I did 20 years ago,” Romero said.

Still, the title challenger has gotten some help on how to maximize his work in the cage. A trip to Albuquerque, N.M., put him in touch with MMA masterminds Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn. It also got him on the mats with ex-champ Jon Jones, who taught him now to marshal his energy for long fights.

“I saw something,” he said. “(Jackson and Winkeljohn) controlled my attacks – when I should attack. I learned that from Jon.”

“I’m never worried about five rounds, because I train every day,” he said. “You have to be worried if you know you don’t have the gas in that gas tank.”

If only Jon in return learned from Yoel how to plead 'tainted supplements' properly
 
Romero could have at least shown him how to pass the USADA tests in return.
