The headliner is a rematch in between hard-hitting Cuban wrestler Yoel Romero and UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker. The accumulation for this bout has been a long, winding road. Whittaker and Romero last fulfilled at UFC 213 in July 2017 for the interim middleweight title, while then-champ Michael Bisping was waiting on a big-money fight. After five rounds, Whittaker edged Romero by one round on the judges’ scorecards, however he was then sidelined for the remainder of the year with an injury.
