Romero returned to the octagon in August 2019 at UFC 241 after a period of inactivity stemming from a drug testing dispute, from which he was ultimately cleared. He faced rising contender Paulo Costa in a high-profile middleweight clash. Despite a closely contested, action-packed fight, the judges awarded Costa the win via unanimous decision. Many fans in attendance voiced their disagreement, believing Romero had done enough to secure victory. The crowd's reaction was so intense that Costa's post-fight interview was delayed due to prolonged boos from dissatisfied spectators.
Romero is the father of three children. While he maintains a private personal life, it is known that his wife and children reside in Cuba. Romero moved to pursue greater career opportunities in MMA and has expressed the desire to bring his family to the United States when possible. Despite the distance, he has emphasized the importance of family and his long-term goal of reuniting with them.
