Robert Whittaker defeated (decision) Yoel Romero Saturday night at UFC 213 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV, and became UFC Interim Middleweight Champion.
The fight between Whittaker and Romero became the main event of UFC 213 after Amanda Nunes had to pull out of her fight against Valentina Shevchenko, earlier in the evening.
Early in the fight, Romero was able to take Whittaker down, but Whittaker was able to get back to his feet quickly:
