Over the weekend in Perth at UFC 221, Yoel Romero finished Luke Rockhold to earn a shot at Robert Whittaker’s middleweight title. However, former 185-pound champion Chris Weidman disagrees with this matchmaking, as he feels he should be getting a shot at the title.
“As far as who should fight Whittaker? I dunno, I think I should,” Weidman said in a UFC 221 post-event interview. “I just beat the top-five ranked Gastelum, he’s never been finished in his career. So I’m coming off a win and Romero’s coming off a loss.
