CHICAGO — There’s not much consensus on one of the most stacked cards of the year.
Robert Whittaker beat Yoel Romero in a razor-close fight last summer and the two will meet again in what should have been a UFC middleweight title fight. Romero missed weight Friday, rendering the UFC 225 main event a non-title one.
In the co-main event, Rafael dos Anjos takes on the brash Colby Covington for the interim welterweight belt. Dos Anjos, the former lightweight champion, is the more established star, but Covington is coming on strong — and not just with his mouth.
