Middleweight champion Robert Whittaker (19-4) has not fought in nearly a year, since winning the interim title with a dominant unanimous-decision victory against Yoel Romero (13-2) last July at UFC 213.
But Whittaker will finally be back in action this Saturday in Chicago after battling a health issue as a solid -240 favorite (bet $240 to win $100) on the UFC 225 odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark for a rematch with Romero.
"The Reaper" has taken the 185-pound division by storm since moving up from welterweight back in 2014 with seven consecutive wins.
