Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-07-08, pretty good finish but the rest of the fight was quite boring: Yoel Romero vs Robert Whittaker gets two stars (UFC Fight of the Night).
Yoel Romero Palacio entered this fight with a pro mma record of 12-1-0 (83% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he is ranked as the No.2 middleweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Michael Bisping). His only defeat occurred in 2011 when he fought against Rafael ‘Feijao’ Cavalcante, since then he has won eight fights beating Lyoto Machida (=Machida vs Romero), Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza (=Souza vs Romero) and Chris Weidman in his last three (=Weidman vs Romero).
His opponent, the black belt in hapkido, karate and Tuf Ww tournament winner Robert Whittaker, has a record of 18-4-0 (78% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.5 in the same weight class. He suffered two consecutive losses between 2013 and 2014, against Court McGee (=McGee vs Whittaker) and Stephen Thompson (=Whittaker vs Thompson), but then he has won seven bouts defeating Rafael Natal (=Whittaker vs Natal), Derek Brunson (=Whittaker vs Brunson) and Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza in his last three (=Jacare vs Whittaker). Robert Whittaker vs Yoel Romero is the main event of the Ufc 213 (on the original fight card the main event was Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko 2 but the fight was canceled just hours before the event started due to Nunes being ill) and it is valid for the interim Ufc middleweight title.
