Diggin’ Deep on UFC 221: Romero vs. Rockhold - Main card preview

There have been many complaints about the main and co-main event of UFC 221. Admittedly, the main event lost some of its sizzle when Robert Whittaker was forced to remove himself from his title defense, leading Yoel Romero to fill in against Luke Rockhold. Nonetheless, it’s still a quality fight that I’m looking forward to. Mark Hunt has headlined many cards, including UFC 180. However, he appears to have lost a step and is facing a fresh-faced challenge in Curtis Blaydes for the co-main event.
