After concern that Yoel Romero’s weight miss could lead to the cancellation of his UFC 225 main event vs. Robert Whittaker, it’s now been confirmed that the two men will square off again on Saturday night in Chicago, IL.
Dana White told Fox Sports that Whittaker vs. Romero “is on,” and MMAjunkie and other news outlets revealed that the bout will proceed as a five-round main event, but because Romero came in .2 lbs over the championship limit of 185, no title is on the line.
