The fact that the match-up between Chris Weidman and Yoel Romero isn’t even the main event of UFC 205, speaks volumes to how stacked this card is. On any other event, this fight would easily carry main event status, since it is a fight that fans have been waiting to see for a long time.
That is not to say that there hasn’t been a few bumps along the way. At UFC 194, Weidman was defeated by Luke Rockhold for the first loss of his professional career. On the same night, Romero earned a split-decision win over Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, and subsequently failed a USADA drug test.
