Meanwhile, Yoel Romero meets Robert Whittaker for the interim middleweight championship in the five-round co-headliner at 185 pounds. The rest of the five-fight main draw features a lightweight clash matching Anthony Pettis with Jim Miller and a pair of heavyweight tilts, as Daniel Omielanczuk faces Curtis Blaydes and Alistair Overeem collides with Fabricio Werdum.
