Tim Roman bio
Personal background
Tim Roman is an American welterweight mixed martial artist who competed under the nickname "The Contract Killer." Born on June 8, 1985, in Greenville, Texas, he spent his career on the Texas regional circuit, fighting most often for the Xtreme Knockout (XKO) promotion out of Dallas. Standing 6'1", he was a tall, rangy welterweight who mixed striking and grappling across a short, eventful professional run that included a stop in Bellator.
Path through the regionals
Roman turned professional in 2014 and learned the hard way, dropping his debut to Jon Cook by first-round rear-naked choke at Battle at the Fort 9. He bounced back quickly, taking a decision over Ramon Jackson at XKO 22 a month later and then finishing Eugene Davis with a first-round guillotine choke at XKO 23 in October 2014 to even his record and establish himself as a regular on the Texas scene.
The Bellator stop and a notable near-miss
Roman's most prominent booking came in March 2015, when he stepped up to Bellator 135 and lost a decision to Sean Holden. One of the more intriguing entries on his résumé never actually happened: a 2014 bout against Kevin Holland – the future UFC star then early in his own career – was scheduled but cancelled, leaving a what-if matchup against one of the sport's eventual standouts. Roman's run grew uneven from there, as he was submitted by Randell Kennedy with a first-round triangle choke at XKO 26 in June 2015 before answering with a second-round knockout of Alvin Jordan at Gravity CSC that November.
Final bouts
Roman closed out his career back in XKO, where he was stopped by Armando Servin via first-round knockout at XKO 31 in June 2016, leaving his professional record at 3-4. The defeat capped a career that spanned local Texas shows and a one-off appearance under the Bellator banner.
Fighting style
Roman was a finish-or-be-finished welterweight whose results rarely went the distance. His three wins came by three different methods – a guillotine submission, a knockout and a decision – a versatile but inconsistent profile, while his four losses split between a knockout, two submissions and a decision. That spread points to a fighter dangerous in spurts, capable of finding the finish but vulnerable on the mat, where two of his defeats came by first-round choke. At 6'1" he carried real height for the division, but the wins and losses landing in roughly equal measure underline how thin the margins were across his pro run.
Career highlights
- Bellator appearance — reached the Bellator stage at Bellator 135 in 2015, a step up from the Texas regional circuit.
- First-round finishes — scored a guillotine-choke submission of Eugene Davis and a knockout of Alvin Jordan among his three career wins.
- Scheduled bout with a future UFC star — was booked against Kevin Holland in 2014 before the fight fell through, a near-miss against one of the sport's eventual standouts.
