Video: Watch UFC 221 headliner Yoel Romero shut down ex-champ Chris Weidman in 2016

Heading into UFC 205, Yoel Romero was riding a seven-fight winning streak and got a date with a former UFC middleweight champion.

At the late-2016 event, Romero extended his winning streak to eight – and picked up his fifth fight-night bonus during the stretch – with a highlight-reel finish of Chris Weidman.

Check out the full fight above.

And catch Romero (12-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who’s No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings, back in action this weekend, when he takes on No. 3-ranked Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in UFC 221’s main event.

UFC 221 takes place Sunday (but airs live in North America on Saturday due to the time difference) at Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Romero and Rockhold fight for an interim title while champ Robert Whittaker recovers from a staph infection.
