UFC 225 main event breakdown: Robert Whittaker vs. Yoel Romero 2

Injured and down two rounds to perhaps the most dangerous third-round fighter in MMA, Robert Whittaker looked to be in major trouble as he came out of his corner to start the third against Yoel Romero at UFC 213. What followed was a master class in crisis management, with Whittaker dominating Romero over the final 15 minutes of the bout based on movement, guts, aggression and conditioning. The result left Romero to wonder what could have been. He only had to win one of the last three rounds and failed to do so.
