Hailing from Moldova, Alexandr Romanov transitioned into the global stage after dominating local competition and securing a championship in Eagles FC. A specialist in grappling, he possesses a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and extensive experience as a national-level freestyle wrestler. Since joining the UFC in 2020, the heavyweight athlete has utilized his wrestling pedigree to claim significant wins against various opponents, including Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Blagoy Ivanov.
Entering the event with a professional record of 17-2-0, Romanov experienced a mixed series of outcomes in his most recent performances. He holds a unanimous decision victory over Blagoy Ivanov from July 2023, which followed back-to-back defeats against Alexander Volkov and Marcin Tybura. Before that difficult stretch, he earned a submission win over Chase Sherman and a technical knockout finish against Jared Vanderaa.
