After missing weight and losing out on his chance at the interim middleweight title, Yoel Romero still managed to come out on top against Luke Rockhold in Saturday’s UFC 221 main event.
With champ Robert Whittaker sidelined, Romero (13-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) blew his chance to claim interim 185-pound title by missing weight. Nevertheless, he earned a third-round knockout victory over Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in the pay-per-view headliner at Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
