Yoel Romero's failure to drop 0.2 pounds before his second attempt to weigh 185 pounds for his middleweight title fight against Robert Whittaker can't stop UFC 225 from being this summer's most hyped card.
The title is no longer on the line when the pair will step into the cage, but that doesn't mean it's not a championship-caliber fight. It's a repeat of the 2017 brawl, and it features two of the best in the weight class, who will top off a card that has remarkable depth at the United Center in Chicago.
Before Romero and Whittaker square off for a second time, Rafael dos Anjos and Colby Covington will each vie for the interim welterweight title in the co-main event.
