It looks like Yoel Romero will be getting his chance for revenge against UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker.
Romero and Whittaker previously fought for the interim middleweight championship at UFC 213, with Whittaker edging out a decision in a competitive five round affair. When Georges St-Pierre vacated the undisputed middleweight belt after defeating Michael Bisping last fall, Whittaker was promoted to the undisputed champion and set to defend his belt against Luke Rockhold at UFC 213. An injury then forced Whittaker out of the bout, at which point Romero stepped in on short notice and knocked out Rockhold to put himself back in line for another crack at Whittaker.
