Dana White: UFC Considering Romero-Whittaker Interim Title Bout Due to Bisping Knee Issues
Another UFC interim title could be up for grabs in the near future.
In an interview with ESPN.com, UFC President Dana White said that the promotion is considering booking Yoel Romero vs. Robert Whittaker for the interim 185-pound strap in light of reigning champion Michael Bisping’s recent revelation that his knee is taking longer than expected to heal.
"We're trying to put together that Bisping-Romero fight," White said. "If [Bisping] can't fight this summer, we'll probably create an interim title between Romero and Robert Whittaker.”
