Yoel Romero is not interested in waiting around for Paulo Costa and instead has turned his attention to former UFC champ Anderson Silva for his next fight.

After their original booking for UFC 230 earlier this month fell apart due a Romero (13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) injury, the middleweight contender matchup with Costa (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was expected to take place on the UFC on ESPN+ 1 card on Jan. 19 in Brooklyn, N.Y. Unfortunately, Costa suffered an injury of his own that prevented the fight from happening.

Costa said he would be healthy by March and urged Romero to wait for him. “The Solider of God” has made it clear he’s not interested, though, and is still keen on fighting in January. And if he could have his desired opponent, he would face longtime 185-pound champ Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC).

Romero made his message clear on social media (via Instagram):

Waiting on an opponent for #january 19 in #brooklyn the very first card for #espn we making history! #iluhju #seeyousoonboi Are you afraid of ?

Romero, No 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings, hasn’t fought since he fell short against UFC champ Robert Whittaker in a non-title bout at UFC 225 in June. He missed weight for the fight, spurring talks about a potential move up to light heavyweight. Romero has seemingly squashed those plans, though.

The 41-year-old Olympic silver medalist wants No. 10-ranked Silva, who hasn’t fought since a February 2017 victory over Derek Brunson at UFC 208 and is coming off a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) suspension. “The Spider” will turn 44 in April, but has made it clear he has no intention of retiring from MMA as he pursues a bout with Conor McGregor.

Whether the UFC is interested in booking Romero against Silva remains to be seen.
