Back in July 2017, Yoel Romero missed out on interim middleweight gold when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Robert Whittaker at UFC 213. On Saturday night at UFC 221 in Perth, Romero rebounded with a third round knockout over Luke Rockhold.
What was the high point of the fight?
A big unknown going into the fight was who would have the advantage if it hit the mat. Rockhold has a very active submission game, but Romero has never even attempted a submission during his time in the UFC, instead seeking heavy ground and pound to finish the fight.
